New old amp day

[rodma]

 picked this ashdown rig up from Gumtree yesterday for very little money. Felt like a gamble at the time, but is a cracking little rig, except that the input mix turns the volume off rather than the tube distortion on, so it hopefully just needs a new tube. 

Works alright for 69quid anyway

That is a deal and a half!

The chap is retiring from playing and was almost giving all of his stuff away. He was just after a token gesture. He certainly wasn't aware that the drive channel wasn't working, cause he was excited to demonstrate and was then surprised when the volume decreased rather than going crunchy.

Hopefully it'll be an easy fix, although if not, I don't mind just using it clean. 

 

He sold it to me with the sole caveat that I play some jazz through it

If it`s not an easy fix for yourself drop Ashdown a line, they`re on here, and are pretty good with customer service, they`ll be able to advise.

Thanks for the advice 

Since I'd seen people report how good they are at responding on here, I emailed them straight away (after googling to see if anyone else had the same fault, which I couldn't find, and obviously checking basschat), but I Also won't be upset if they don't given how little I paid. 

Cheers
