walshy Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Ok so I use the Aguilar DB751 as my main amp but want a valve back up/ smaller but a decent size. My TH500 is up for sale so looking for a home use and gig size back up. Weight doesn’t bother too much but must have heft and presence. Budget £750 ish Any suggestions appreciated Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Ashdown CTM100 or Ampeg V4B. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassfan Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Nah. Too big for me. I’m not greedy, but you could drop it down to Essex for me. 😂 Edited August 21, 2018 by bassfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just found one, almost brand new for £500, doesn’t seem a bad price. I’ve had the ABM Evo 600 which was nice, how does this compare? Any info welcome?

artisan Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) I've not used an ABM before so couldn't give you a comparison but it is the best sounding amp I have ever used,warm,punchy & very loud. The bass,mid & treble controls don't do a lot but Ashdown sent me 3 new pots of different frequencies which have made the eq much more useable,a mod I would recommend. For £500 it's a total steal,they are brilliant amps. Edited August 22, 2018 by artisan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 If the CTM100 is like the CTM30/LB30 then it's NOTHING like the ABM. Not better or worse, just different, and the LB30 and ABM (and Orange Terror 500) are my fav amps I've ever tried... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any questions just ask 👍 It is indeed, CTM100, I was tempted with the Handbox too but £500 man, seemed too good to pass up. Yeah I’ll fire some questions if needed when it lands, ta mate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah !, I have one of these Ctm100's, everything that the other members have said and better all rounder than my Ashdown Bta300 hybrid, which I can barely carry ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
