mikel Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landwomble Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 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. https://www.gak.co.uk/en/tc-electronic-bg250-208/88071?gclid=CjwKEAjwvb2_BRCb_s7Yo7_ZlHASJABz6L0jLenX3WA5-zuVJajPRYHAaTfpWwIlQOcAq8aH6UJUCRoCUsfw_wcB I'm upgrading at the moment so might be persuaded to sell next week for around £200...

[/quote] 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.
