Quilly Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) I think as its a old school cab so some thing Tubey is probably best suited to it. Matches really will with Ashdown valve or hybrid heads (from experience). If you the a glassy clean hi-fi sound you get from class D SS heads it's probably not the best choice as there's no tweeter there. Gigged it with a AH500-7 Trace head with no 'problems' but I definitely wasn't getting that famously scooped Trace tone from it.

machinehead Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Honestly, I think any decent amp will sound good through a two10. I have a pair of one10s and I've used a few amps with them. None sounded bad! Why not save a few quid and shed some weight and buy a Quilter BassBlock 800. It does everything I need anyway and I use it with a single one10 in small pubs with excellent results. Frank.

It does everything I need anyway and I use it with a single one10 in small pubs with excellent results. Frank. I would agree. I bought a Quilter BB800 when they came out and it has been fairly consistently my go-to after using big 'ol Trace Elliots. Recently changed from BF Supercompact to a Two10 - only had it for a short while but I'd say my tone has never been better. For what I am looking for etc. I had the One10 for home practice/smaller gigs and liked the 'colour' with both the Quilter (and also like the sound of it paired with a Tecamp Puma). The Two10 sounds similar but bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mep Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I've just received my Ashdown RM 500 evo 2 which I'm looking forward to running through my Two10. Haven't got a gig for 3 weeks so can only try it at home first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 'other options' vote is for the Mesa Subway 800+ based on my experience of gigging two Two10S cabs with that head in a classic rock covers band. If I'm using the Mesa with a single Two10S I just switch the impedance to 12ohms. Mesa D800+ with a pair of Two10 here, playing mostly funk/ska/reggae but also Rage Against The Machine, RHCP and more... It's just mighty. Great combination.

You would have to be careful running it through a single 4ohm Two 10 though. As always, being sensible is desirable. I tend to leave my switch at the 2 ohm position. That automatically limits the power somewhat when using a 4 or 8 ohm cab, which may help. I only do it because of simplicity and that I like how it sounds. I use one cab alone frequently, for rehearsals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxos10 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I use Ashdown with my Two10, either an RM420 or Retroglide 800, and have also used Markbass (250 Blackline) which sounded good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your opinion?. Thank you. After reading these replies, I think you should change your question to, 'What sounds bad through a barefaced two ten?' . It'll save you a lot of time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
