deanovw Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) SOLD I am selling this super rare Ashdown 550 Spyder amp head. It works perfectly and sounds great. Ashdown say: This Über-cool head combines the warmth and grind of the 427 Small Block’s all-tube preamp with the dynamics of Ashdown’s tour-proven 500-Watt ABM power stage. The 550 Spyder head features High and Low gain inputs, front panel-mounted Effects Send and Return, rotary Bass, Middle and Treble controls with Mid Shift, Bass Shift and Bright switching, Mute switch, rotary Gain and Master volume controls and balanced DI output with Pre/Post switching. Power output = 550w Weight = 14kg Prefer local pickup when its safe and legal to do. Could possibly meet somewhere. When allowed. Could post at cost. It is very heavy!!!

deanovw Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 So, Ive had zero interest in this. Is it because no one is gigging these days? or is it priced too high? I'm happy to consider trades and cash offers. Is anyone interested at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one and loved it - terrific clean valve tone and plenty of volume. I liked it so much I made a video. I suspect if we were all out gigging it would have sold a while ago. Good luck with the sale. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def if we were all gigging I’m sure it would be a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Yep I think the lack of gigs is making second hand sales completely rotten these days. I concur with everything @franzbassist sez 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Used one of these in a studio with Ampeg 810 cab and it was so nice. Totally changed my opinion of Ashdown amps. I had the MAG series and it was bland. The Spyder was very sweet. GLWTS Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilly Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) This is my go-to amp, an amazing combination of valve warmth and SS power. A total bargain at that price. Edited August 31, 2021 by Quilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gotta keep trying to find them. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I agree with @Quilly - in fact he has my old one! These really are great, loud, plug-and-play amps and £200 is silly. Hopefully someone will come along soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
