Thansk for that JTUK and davehux, not saying it wasnt powerful enough just didnt warrant paying £400 for what I can do with the Ashdown, just for the record I play in a rock covers band, 5 piece with 2 guitars and I run the MAG through a Trace Elliott 1 x 15 and sometimes with an Ashdown 2 x 10 on top, and the Ashdown is more than adequate to keep up with the rest of them, rarely get it past the 9 o clock position on the volume, but never have to go as far as the 12 o clock so more than ample, but each to his own, playing a Fender Jazz but always use the neck pickup never the bridge, and never had any complaints lol, also my brother is one of the guitarists and hes been in bands for years and knows what hes doing and he dont complain, and believe me thats a good thing lol
