Ashdown AAA EVO 60-10T

[mikel]

I am looking for a lightweight combo, primarily for home practice and rehearsals. I need the headphone and MP3 facility, and the fact the EVO can be paired with an Ashdown 15" cab for gigging makes it look a great buy. Before I travel for a try out, is there a glaring reason why it seems so cheap? like, for example, it is rubbish or is not reliable? Or is there a more obvious candidate for a cheap lightweight combo.

Thanks for any comments.

I haven't used one but I bought a TC Electronics BG250 2X8 for similar reasons. Has the features you describe plus Toneprint effects (Inc a great compressor) and can drive a second cab.
250w in a tiny package that's loud enough for most situations and very lightweight.

I'm upgrading at the moment so might be persuaded to sell next week for around £200...

All I'd say is that it seems on that particular combo, if you connect another speaker, the internal speaker is disabled, so not maybe quite what you think..

Really? The tech info states that for gigs the 1 x 15 can be added for extra tone and volume.

Yep I read that on the website too, but from the manual: -

[i]Speaker Out: There is an 8 Ohm min load speaker out-put located on the rear of the AAA-60 (disconnects internal speaker AAA-60 ONLY)[/i]

Perhaps contact Ashdown directly and ask them, in my experience, they are good at resonding to general queries.
