£1099 according to the Ashdown facebook page.
Not clear exactly what the difference is from the ABM600 yet though (apart from the compressor isn't there, the addition of the second VU meter on the output and the paint job).
Not sure of the purpose of the second meter either. I know they put the meter on the output stage rather than the input on the CL amps so you can see how hard you're pushing the back end but this price point obviously doesn't realistically allow for a valve power stage.

Be interesting to find out more detailed specs anyway.

Is it good for metal?

With those looks I`d think it would excell at metal. Be a bit like Vyvyan from the Young Ones jacket, Very Metal.

Great that he can now get that elusive 70s tone now that he’s officially retired from sabbath.
Get the DOOM tone by writing DOOM on the amp.

Just to clarify Geezer hasn't died....or to a lesser extent even retired....so there's a good chance he wants tone he's happy with going forwards...

Then 'Get the DOOM tone by writing DOOM on the amp.' Kind of... the Doom is in the amp at all times, each amp will be pre loaded with the correct Geezer approved amount of doom before shipping(the most dangerous part of the amp build), then the doom control just varies the overall level of doom.

Do you import the DOOM from Northern Europe or is it cultivated closer to Geezer's childhood dwelling?
