My Legacy 800 sounds huge, and doesn't feel any more fragile than the big RBs. Just smaller and lighter.
Yeah, if I had to carry them in and out every week I would rethink things.
I know. Who would practice then?
I'll buy regardless of cost. Where did you find it?
I don't think that's exactly accurate. It can function as a pre tube and certainly flavors the tone even without being overdriven. That's how I use mine in the ABMs most of the time. My valve drive is maxed to get the most out of it. I'm sure there are some technical differences but I'm not sure it can't be said to be lacking a preamp tube.My take:
Ashdown,
No preamp tubes (except distortion drive/doom effect)
class A/B,
Maybe Chuck can clarify. I'm all ears on whatever is correct.
Not aware of any Ashdown amp without at least one preamp tube usually implemented as a (in parallel) blend option to the SS low level (preamp) signal stage....some (like JIO's 550 Spyder) feature an all (and only) tube preamp....the tube stage (transistor that engages the stage when the "Tube" button is pressed is fried) is non functional on mine.....not losing much sleep...

And 25lbs first that 1001 isn't a bother.
Lol, I really shouldn't be learning about new gear.
Me neither. But it’s fun learning about it. I really doubt I’ll be getting any more amp related gear.
You know, I have never, looking back, NEEDED an amp different than the one I had.
I think that's funny.

Second week of Feb, on the 13th we have an Anti Valentine's show at Aurora Borealis, we open for Punk Rushmore, fly out on Wednesday. I'll PM you and try to twist Chuck's arm into coming up.
I make great Rockefellers...
Nice selection of power ratings on the 1001, the 2001 id a bit much for anything I’d ever need. And I’m one that subscribes to a better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. In any case they look to be rather large…

So a trip up, and we go shopping for oysters at the Pike Place Market amongst other things
I have way more creative and physical energy at 12 noon on a Saturday or Sunday than at 7pm after working all day.
…and no interest in sports…
