  1. Good condition and in full working order complete with Power Supply. Light signs of use but no major dents or scratches. Great sounding pedal but I am revamping my board and is surplus to requirements. I haven't really used it to its full potential and has mainly sat on my board in case my rig dies mid gig. Will post or you could collect me in Chelmsford. Some specs and info are as follows: The Eden World Tour DI – or just WTDI – serves multiple purposes as it is able to shape your tone in a number of ways and at the same time you can use it as a DI to feed the Front of House, or you can run directly to an audio interface with balanced XLR inputs when recording. The EQ section has three knobs that cut or boost up to 15 dB at 30 Hz (BASS), 550 Hz (MID) and 5 kHz (TREBLE). The MID knob also has a MID SHIFT button that you can use to switch between the default 550 Hz as the center frequency and 2.2 kHz, which will give you control over the high-mid frequencies. In this section, you will also find a BASS BOOST button that increases the very low frequencies quite significantly. The GAIN knob on left side of the lower row is the first stage of the preamp circuit, but please note that it also affects how hard you drive the compressor, should you decide to use that. The ENHANCE knob gradually boosts the lows, high-mid and high frequencies, while at the same time creating a dip in the low-mids. In other words, this knob scoops your tone. The COMPRESSOR knob is a ‘one-knob operation’. You can dial in subtle compression or crank it up for more obvious compression. Finally, the MASTER knob sets the overall output volume of the pedal. Overall a really flexible pedal that gives plenty of options in a live or recording setting.
  2. About a year old. Mainly had home use and a handful of rehearsals. Really good condition with only the slightest of superficial marks. Reason for sale is that I have decided to upgrade to a POD Go as I have starting to get into DAW's during lockdown and want something with amp modelling. M-Audio expression pedal which is basic but works well and has probably only seen an hour's use tops. Complete with box, Original PSU and packaging. Both have velcro fitted from being safely kept in my Diago pedalboard when not in use. Has the latest updates done and will be restored to factory defaults before sale. Collection from Chelmsford, Essex. Price now includes postage to mainland UK.
  3. This is a really great stack that covers a lot of ground for not much money. Has the Profet 3.3 head which is rated at 300w. This is a really decent unit and a great improvement on the 3.2 as Warwick sorted out the input gain settings. Does everything you could want - inbuilt compressor, decent EQ with bright, deep and contour so is easy to get a sound you want, a plus DI, effects loop and tuner out . Also has headphones out for home use too! Just been professionally serviced as I took it in exchange and the mute switch was temperamental. Was just a couple of dry solders on the relay which have all been sorted and then it had all the pots, IDC's etc all cleaned and checked and all is all running perfectly now. Comes with a WCA 410 Pro (300w) and WCA 211 Pro (400w) cabs which are in really good clean order with hardly any signs of use. Provides a really good modular stack. You could just take the 210 or 410 to a smaller rehearsals/gigs, or ramp it up to the full 610 for bigger venues. Cabs are fairly lightweight and a good size but seems really solidly put together. Also with just the 210 or using the headphones it is good for home use too, so really covers everything you could need. Would be quite happy to play this myself and would be very pleased if I turned up at a show and it was the backline, it's really impressed me, but I have a full line up of Ashdowns and really don't need it!! Comes with all the leads and manuals. Collection from Chelmsford, Essex
  4. Mike has made a start on my neck so thought I'd share some photos! Looking great @Cosmicrain
  5. Just to add that I would consider trades for effects pedals...
  6. Yes that's correct - the 500's are 575w. I had an ABM300 Evo ii combo once that was crazy loud, and when I spoke to Dave Green about it he said they were always badged as being less than they really were - under promise and over deliver was the ethos. Pretty sure thats true of the old UK made Trace amps too. I think he said the early Evo 300's were actually 400w. It was awesome anyway and regreted selling instantly when I changed to a Class D amp which I can only have gigged 10 times before going back straight back to an ABM. On that note it was my EVO IV for sale. I have a CTM 300 now and I should really move it on. However after a lot of interest I just couldn't bring myself to sell so I have withdrawn it. Having had an EVO II I have to agree the EVO IV is a massive step up. It's what everyone says, more punch, the EQ is better, Drive gets grittier etc. I like the Compressor and despite a lot of folk not liking the Sub feature, used sparingly on a low setting I think it can be quite nice when switched in/out for backing guitar solos. I'm going to keep if as a spare or for when it's too tight on space or risky to take the CTM out - thats how I've justified it to the Mrs anyway 😄
  7. Hi All, I bought this to fit into an Ashdown Mag 300 combo I use for rehearsals to replace the stock 8ohm speaker and get a bit more punch. However unfortunately although the bolt pattern is the same it's just a mm or two too big for the cab and I don't want to start cutting it about, so am moving it on. These speakers have a great reputation plus you can easily recone them. £75 collected from Chelmsford or I could post in the UK for £5 Thanks for looking!
  8. I started having a good play this afternoon before being told the house was shaking too much 😆 However you are absolutely right, there is a serious range of tones in there, it's certainly not a one trick pony! I feel like I've only had a taste of what's to come!
  9. Well it's back and sounding amazing!! So glad I didn't just send it back to PMT, Ashdown were brilliant and had it back to me and all sorted in 3 working days. It seems it had taken a serious knock, one of the tubed had imploded, everything had shifted and 2 internal fuses has blown. The packing was completely intact so hard to say of that happened in-store or in transit. Pretty impressed it made any sound at all when it arrived! Now it's working at full strength I am super pleased with it, and paired with my Stringray it makes the sound that was in my head but I never quite managed to translate into the real world. Can't wait to gig it now 😭 Following everyone's advice I have decided to add a second ABM 210 Evo IV cab, it seems thats best compromise of sound/weight/portability/cost - it helps they Thomann have them of special at the moment too! Thanks everyone for the help!
  10. But you don't have to play it many times to justify £85 😉
  11. 1997 UK made Trace Elliot 1048T cabinet. Well used with some carpet damage and dings but sounds awesome and in is perfect working order. Comes with original cable and warranty document. I bought this as a package with a head that I wanted but the cab is surplus to requirements. Collection from Essex, or may deliver locally for diesel money. Built like a tank, but sounds incredible. Perfect for someone needing a cheap but reliable and great sounding 410.
  12. The only thing I can suggest is that you can reserve online to collect in your nearest store, so you can see/test it before taking it away and not risk it being couriered. I should have done that and just waited until after lockdown to get my hands on it. However thankfully for me Ashdown are very local and I have always had excellent service from them, so looks like I will have it up and running very soon. It is gutting though when the amp of your dreams arrives in a poor state, and can't say I'd recommend getting one mail order now.
  13. Thanks for the replies. It was a really good deal £1039 down from £1999! However it was advertised as new not as ex demo or a return, but it's clearly had use. I think it's been dropped as the tubes are all askew, Valve 2 isn't operating and there is no output showing on 2, 3 or 6. Also the bias mode isn't moving the needle on any of the valves. PMT promptly offered a refund but I also emailed @Ashdown Engineeringand they have offered to collect it and sort it for me, they are only down the road! Super service as always. If it comes back working then all good, otherwise PMT can have it back and I'll think again.
  14. Yep. Unfortunately not my first poor experience from them, but it will be my last.
  15. Well the fun didn't last long! Amp is clearly faulty, sounds pants, no output showing on tubes 2, 3 or 6 & tube 2 isn't even glowing. Plus there is evidence of previous use, it didn't come with any original packing or paperwork, I suspect it's ex demo or a return. Packed back up and refund requested 😭
  16. Looking good on the 210 anyway! Now to test it....
  17. Thanks all, really interesting, appreciate the input. I have an ABM Evo IV 210 that I was intending to use to start with, might even be best just to add another!? Or Thomann have the 115h compact at a silly price at the moment. Ideally want to avoid larger cab sizes than that due to the narrowness of my stairs at home, so perhaps I need to go modular if the consensus is that more drivers are best! The 300 is apparently waiting for me at home, so as soon as I get home from work I'll be trying it out. The 100 and 300 are pretty much the same height and length but the 300 is deeper according to Ashdowns specs.
  18. Hi All, I have an Ashdown CTM 300 arriving tomorrow (exciting!), and am contemplating getting a Barefaced Cab to go with it based on trying them out at the guitar and bass show last year. Just wondered if anyone has any recommendations on a suitable model? There is a used Super 12 available from another member locally which I am seriously considering, but wondered what others were using, Barefaced or otherwise? Also is it possible to use a Super 12 or any Barefaced cabs on their side? I have concerns that the CTM300 will overhang and be unstable using them "upright" given its size! Any advice would be appreciated! Cheers, Matt
  19. Cab Sold! ABM600 head, flight case and Footswitch still available for £450
  20. For anyone interested I would be willing to split at £450 for the head, flight case and Footswitch, and £150 for the cab and roqsolid cover!
  21. Playing in an original blues band in a local pub last year with a gritty female vocalist - think female Howlin' Wolf - and a punter asked if we could play some Kylie!?! Singer was taken back she just didn't know what to say, so I chipped in with "You should be so lucky..."! 😁
