I would like to try one of these but can't find one anywhere. I've emailed Ashdown but had no response so far.
So, Anyone got one. Is it good?

Any info much appreciated.

Cheers,
Jon

Can't help with the amp, but can verify that Ashdown's email inbox is the online equivalent to a black hole.

It has the same preamp as my Spyder 550, which I absolutely love. I imagine that those 4 KT88's can only make it even better. I'm really tempted to get one of these babies too.[/quote]
EH - Does it do valve overdrive sounds can you tell me and is it 'mild' or 'wild' distortion out of it can you tell me?

Contact them on Facebook, they're usually pretty prompt to reply on there.
If you're not on there, shoot me a PM and I'll give you a direct email address.

Hey! I don't think the preamp has been designed for overdriven sounds. My Spyder still sounds clean with the gain up 'till 3 o'clock. It still doesn't distort after that, I just don't like the way it sounds. I use a passive Fender P by the way.

Thanks for the info EH.

[indent=1]I'm not sure the pre-amp is the same as the Spyder 550 (which has 1 x ECC83 & 1 x ECC81). And, yes, my Spyder 550 does not OD at all.[/indent]

[indent=1]The drophead is quoted as having "2 x ECC82, 1 x ECC99 and 2 x ECC82 valves in the preamp stage"[/indent]
