lwinter Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 I have an ashdown ABM500 non rack-moutable head that I want to put into a 4u rack along with my IEM's and possibly a rack tuner. Anyone done this before or know if its possible? I can take the metal chassis of the amp out of its mdf 'box' easily enough but is it then just a case of screwing rack ears onto the sides and mounting it or would I need to do more? On a side note, its making a horrible buzzing sound at the moment as if I'm running an overdrive throuh it. I've changed the pre-amp valve and thats not cured it, any ideas? Quote
Merton Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Speak to @Ashdown Engineering about both - they’ll certainly be able to help about the hum and can advise on the rack mount possibility. IIRC you can’t rackmount these but I may be (and would be happy to be!) wrong Quote
Lozz196 Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) Ashdown are on here, I`d message them re both queries, their customer service is excellent, I`m sure they`ll be able to assist: @Ashdown Engineering Edit - Merton got there first Edited March 3, 2019 by Lozz196 Quote
lwinter Posted March 4, 2019 Author Posted March 4, 2019 Thanks guys, I'd already emailed them direct from the website before I posted on here. Had two replies first thing this morning from their MD and Technical guy offering to repair a fault with it as well as fitting it to a new chassis with rack ears so I can mount it. Brilliant customer service! 1 Quote
Merton Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 They put everyone else to shame with their customer service I think. Top fellas. 1 Quote
Sparky Mark Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 That's really fantastic customer service. I just hope they're making enough money to stay in business during these challenging times. Quote
