Really flexible EQ too. It should pair nicely with your Barefaced 610 too. That's a rig I run and it's magnificent. Such a good amp, like really good and with the Barefaced 6x10 its mighty 1 Quote

NAS Bass Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 I can’t fault any Ashdown ABM head. Also consider a valve pre like a DHA if you can find one. 1 Quote

I currently have an ABM-500 paired with a Barefaced Two10 and it sounds looooooooooooooovely. Hoping to upgrade to the ABM-600-EVO-IV in a few months when funds allow as the 500 is only on loan.

MuddBass Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 Mesa WD-800 or TT800. Might need to look at the second hand market, as parts and expoprting from the USA into UK / EU is some challenging at the moment . 1 Quote

Japhet Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 I had a Gallien Kreuger Fusion 500. Cracking little amp. Don't know what their current range is though but I wish I still had that amp. Quote

Obra Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 My new Gallien Fusion 800 with tube preamp is a killer machine. Would love to try and compare it with Mesa Boogie Subway WD 800. Quote

danbowskill Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) the Markbass TTE heads are incredibly big valve amp sounding and in the feel of the notes ...the 800 is stupidly powerful not to disimilar to the orange terror in eq but with a n added valve compressor on board Edited January 12, 2023 by danbowskill Quote

It’s what switched me to Ashdown, I just loved the solidity of the sound it in combination with my Para Driver, there was the H-word to the sound. 2 Quote

MrDinsdale Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Love my GK Fusion S 800 head. It pair's great with the two10 (albeit a little overpowered) so I'm sure the one10 will work great. It was perfect for warm smooth base tones to accompany some slightly folkier stuff. More recently I've been using it for some very aggressive snarly punky noise stuff and it's blown me away. The tube overdrive channel is great, I wrote it off a bit foolishly when i got the head but after getting to know it I'm fully sold. I genuinely think you could get a solid tone for just about anything. 1 Quote

MrDinsdale Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 The Jad Freer stuff looks really impressive, from what I've heard it sounds incredible too and packed with great features/design. Can't afford the amp, or their power amp but still probably going to end up with their Capo preamp pedal in the near future. 3 Quote

Tried to order one, well the Capo, paid and waited 10 weeks for ‘next day delivery’ from an Italian distributor. Nothing and tracking was none existent. Waiting for my full refund. They do look good but I’ll not be trying to buy again 🤷♂️ Edited January 14, 2023 by walshy 1 Quote

For what it's worth from speaking to others who ordered directly from JF it sounds like they were super helpful and instantly gave a refund for a discrepancy between their site and the reverb price so was a little surprised to hear anything negative. 1 Quote
