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!!!

Yep, I agree. Shame I can't keep everything but one in, one out. 😂

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?

These are great amps.  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.

Thanks and cheers for posting the video. Def if we were all gigging I’m sure it would be a different story.

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.

This is my go-to amp, an amazing combination of valve warmth and SS power. A total bargain at that price.

Thanks Quilly. I think it’s a bargain too but times are strange atm. 
 

There may be someone out there that would like it. Just gotta keep trying to find them. 😁

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 :)
