The ios5 arrived an hour or so ago and it's great so thank you for the recommendation! Definitely looking into the optocomp but probably not the preamp as I really love the way the CTM300 sounds as it is

A Harley Benton ISO5 Power supply on the recommendation of @andy67! should arrive today

Very interested in the multicomp if it's still around in a couple of weeks!

Very lovely!  Are they 10s or 8s?

They are 10's i managed to score the cab for £200 on ebay and it's in perfect condition except for the odd scuff. was sat in a studio gathering dust for months

My newest setup 😁

TC electronic spark Booster, just going to be use it to drive the front end on my amp 

Seeing if anyone is interested in buying the very rare Human Gear Animato. Since buying an all tube amp, I'm really happy with how the bass sounds just straight into the amp rather than with all my pedals anymore.  Would anyone be interested in buying it for nailing that Chris wolstenholme tone? 

Also have a Black Russian Big muff maybe for sale too!

These go for £475 brand new from human gear after conversion form euros. PLUS postage and any import tax.
 

Think I’ll definitely pick up the power supply and the opto comp, possibly the preamp but from all the demos of the scrambler I’ve watched I can’t seem to find one that makes it sound great.

My board 😁

How’re you finding the ampeg pedals and the Harley Benton supply? Looking into all of those at the moment myself 🧐

Wait till you get your arms and ears around an Ampeg SVT classic 🤭 lol 

I’ve played a SVT VR only once at a festival and did love it and nearly went down the ampeg route. I went for Ashdown in the end though for them being a UK company and their customer service being so good. Never been let down by any Ashdown products either.

Anyone after a CTM, Ashdown is having a big B-Stock sale! A few Quality ABM’s and cabs there too

Got the chance to play the CTM300/810 last night, only at fairly quiet volume.

The sound is absolutely incredible, exactly what I’ve been looking for in an amp. So much versatility in one amp it’s amazing. Tried some dirty tones by maxing the gain and tickling the master and even at bedroom volume it sounded thunderous.

really can’t wait to use it in a band setting and live setting. Cheers to @la bam for the brilliant service and delivery, pleasure to deal with!

if anyone has any general valve amp tips/tricks or advice on looking after them let me know as it’s my first proper valve setup so I’m not fully confident in them.

Cheers mate! It’s a great pedal and I wish I had more use for it. But I just prefer the sounds of my individual pedals for my needs.

Bought this pedal from @Thunderbird a few weeks back but sadly the sound just isn’t for me so it’s got to go:(! Boxed with the leaflet and rubber feet as Velcro on the bottom.

Does it have wheels? 

It does have wheels yeah, tilt back and move but it’s bit awkward to lift and get around corners and doorways. my rehearsal room had 2 flights of stairs and many door ways so that’ll be interesting 😭

You don't need luck. You need one of these... 

 

Lifting the head on to the cab wasn’t too bad actually managed it on me own. The cab however is a bit of a task to move about 

Got the CTM300 from @la bam today. Won’t have a chance to try it out until later tonight but can’t wait to!

Not when you want to put the amp on top of the cab

Wish me luck 😭

Got this Ashdown ABM810 today. Should be getting the matching CTM300 on Monday from @la bam 

Ahh I was happy for you when I saw you saying you were going to keep it! 

if I can somehow get the cash together I’d love to have it

I've bought an Ampeg SVT-3pro 6 times now 😮 

Okay that makes me feel better haha. I have bought a few pedals multiple times come to think of it 🥴

Not impressed with the Diamond or SDSB then? In the market for a new compressor too, so just curious.

Was actually very impressed the SDSB but not so much with the diamond but others swear by it. Would have definitely have the SDSB again but feel silly buying pedals twice 🥺

How good is your back?

i'm only 23 so got some years in it yet! 

Will be picking up an Ashdown CTM in the near future but really struggling deciding between the 100w and 300w. There’s no way to try before I buy one 😥

Now on hold
