I haven't given it dub style treatment yet, playing in a pop/soul band today, but I rolled back the eq on my pbass for Three Little Birds and it sounded fine to my ears.

Look like the original 1x15 Compacts.  I bet that rig sounds monster.

Yep. Two 15" old school Compacts.

Wait, you have 'a couple' of V4s? In the cupboard??

Loving the CTM and dual Compact rig! If I had the space I think that it is mighty close to my dream rig, though maybe I’d go for two Super Compacts instead coz they are my favouritest of all cabs ever. Glad it’s working out

I need to gig it a few more times to learn the amp, not be lazy and just pop a class D into my back pocket,  the CTM is full of character. 

My only other valve experience is with an SVT and that was a case of plug it in, turn it on and play, perfect sound right out of the box. I think the Ashdown has much more flexibility so will need me to learn it's ways.

There’s also a mod that Ashdown can do for the CTM to make the eq even more flexible.

Very nice. Do you have OBBM cables? That's something like the all English rig I was posting about a month or so ago.

1 is pretty cool. 

2 must be twice as cool 😁

Err, I think you'll find this is the Holy Grail....

Having been a Barefaced user for some years now (Super Twin #S001) I had a revelation last night, when I was unable to transport my gear to a headline slot at a festival in Kent and used a borrowed lightweight 100w combo - which sounded great! Seriously questioning the need to keep a large and expensive piece of kit (plus two Ashdown heads) when all of my gigs are DI'd into the PA.

WHAT... is the airspeed velocity of a pair of trousers blown off by a CTM 100 and two Compacts?

I wasn't able to do full wind tunnel trials due to certain local byelaws prohibiting weapons testing...
