NAD - Ashdown RM 220

[Stofferson]

Picked up a steal yesterday.

Ashdown RM 220.

Wanted something smaller that would fit on my BF two10 neatly.

Does a fantastic job and can easily dial in the same tone as my ABM. 

Nice small packaging, still solid state not class D so has a good weight to it. Kicks out a storm though, great head.

Love it

Just been saying elsewhere Ashdown into Barefaced is a marriage made in heaven. 

Congrats, that looks (and I imagine sounds) great.

A bass player after my own heart. 

I have moved from ABY to an adjustable crossover. The options have really opened up for me.

Aye that's ridiculous, how do you get that to work? 

Running a set a tens it'll be minor tweaks in eq but just ensuring the speakers get equal power.

 

And yeah, sounds glorious

It is. I come put my Li e 6 wireless into the crossover then bass into one amp and cab, mids into another highs into another. 

This way I can have four effects loops too.

Ahh beasty, that's a lot of cables 😯.

 

I couldn't handle that, I'm still ticking several fuzzes and a wah, though I may dabble in some delay/reverb/chorus one day

Not had chance to push past living room levels, but does feel like it has plenty on tap for what it is, it won't certainly replace the ABM but will be good for smaller gigs

Mrs is out, the neighbours have moved out.

 

Test time

 

Can confirm its does loud!
