Yes that correct Ashdown changed the controls to notched a few years back You could always ask Dave Green for replacement pots ( it’s an easy job ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexa3020 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Notches are no problem when gigging, but notch 1 is pretty much too loud for home with a 115 or 210 Edited May 26, 2022 by alexa3020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muppet Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Anyone got a ABM1200? I know it’s two x 600w but can these be bridged? I used to have a Ampeg SVT4pro and you could bridge the two power sections for increased headroom at 4 ohm…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Not sure they can be bridged I’m afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexa3020 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I have mixed feelings: it’s pretty expensive at the moment although I’d expect the price to drop once the product matures. On the front end everything looks identical to the evo iv apart from the extra vu I may be on my own here but I liked the blue panel (must be getting old - don’t like change!). The proof will be in the performance though 750w of class a/b power - should be monstrous! I’m sure the more technically minded will pick out some other things! I don’t think there’s enough for me to change from Abm 600 evo iv though - but let’s wait for the reviews and see! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 First gig with my ABM 500 2x10 combo last night - cost me 10% of the Evo 5 head in the post above and sounded great. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la bam Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 They're still missing the biggest trick. Use a VU meter for a built in tuner. I know loads of people who want an all in one amp, and go elsewhere because they have to take a separate pedal, plug, cable etc. I'm sure they could stick one in that chasis. Then itd have drive, comp, eq, octave, and a tuner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ern500evo Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I think it looks great, and I’m sure it sounds great too. That’s a hell of a jump in price from the Evo 4 though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
