The webpage from Ashdown: https://ashdownmusic.com/products/ashdown-pro-di-1

 

Its on 3 week pre-order at Bax for £239. Its entering a pretty crowded space but that price seems competitive (more so than the £299 on Ashdown website)

I think the price is really good. I already have their OriginAL preamp and I think it's the same except for the tube. The OrginAL is in a price point where other competitors offer much more features and IRs, so I think they cannot beat them (even though the preamp sounds beautiful, with some flaws like a really noisy headphones out). But it is a nice preamp overall. 

This new Pro-DI gets rid of the tube to be cheaper I guess. And I like the format with the VU.

 

PS in the Ashdown website the golden OriginAL is cheaper than the red OriginAL.

Darn, there goes another £239 (or at least it will when I get home lol)

 

Whilst I liked the OriginAL pedal the amount of drive on it was pretty much unusable, hopefully with the Drive Level this will enable much better control.

I'll never understand why they must insist on "launching" products when it isn't available to buy. A Google search can't even find a teaser video for it. Same with the new Roasted series basses - there is a bit more about them online, but still not available to buy, just pre-order. Launch it when you have the product to sell! They're just killing any new product buzz they might get by constantly jumping the gun.

I've just found this thread, as I was looking into whether Ashdown did a pedal like this (as my Police Tribute has gone completely IEM)

Bax shop had one left in stock at £239 so I bought it.

It's a while till our next gig but I'll take it along (with my bass gear, Just in case) and will try it live
