la bam Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 2 hours ago, JottoSW1 said: He sent me an offer for £539 (£60:off). Think @la bam could comment on this Amp. Tried one briefly in a Studio. Sounded huge, very (too much ?) adjustable. 400 valve watts !!!! Great amp in every way. Not ridiculously heavy, but still heavy. It's a great sound, really nice. Very instant response. The genius is that it's two amps in one, a solid state and a valve, so if anything goes wrong, you can switch over without worry. The biggest issue was it's a complete work of art. It's a stunning thing to have and to look at with all those valves glowing etc and as such you will want to protect it, which adds a hard case and more weight. It's not gonna knock your socks off on it's own- I dont think valve amps do - but its lovely in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not a bad amp at all. Not sure of the going rate on them though That's a good price...great amps, just check for service, age of valves etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliwobble Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I’m loving my Ashdown little bastard for rehearsals and small gigs. Only 30 watts, but 30 valve watts gets pretty loud through a decent speaker. It is just an altogether different thing to my GK mb500. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not tried it against the rest of the band yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
