Grand Wazoo Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Besides... knowing Ashdown gear, it'll work fine for a year then you take it to a gig and it dies on you just because it didn't like the van you drove it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I think a tuner is a good candidate for being a really big pedal, but not sure they use the space as well as they could have there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I agree. The VU meter is fairly pointless and the row of LEDs could have been halved in size, but I like the feck-off great big digital readout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 So it does what other tuners do and takes up double the pedalboard space? Nice one Ashdown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Korg DT-10. Its the most robust spot-on tuner I've owned. Even stands up to drunk rhythm guitarists stumbling onto it mid-gig... The LEDs are really clear on any stage and its completely silent, no nasty clicks. I can't enough good things about it, I had one Korg's rack tuners before that and again, so so good.

BigBassBob Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Unless this thing is accurate to 0.0000001 cents I don't see any reason to not spend another £20 and buy a Sonic Research ST-200. 0.02 cents accuracy guaranteed and it's less than half the size.

The 440hz green LED. Meaning that pedal is only good for telling us where all sharp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still omit the cheesy "Bass-o-meter" logo though, makes it look mmore like a cheap kids' toy than a pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskimoBassist Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 That is genuinely one of the most disgusting pedals I have ever seen! I think Ashdown should just get back to making great Bass Amps, not like the outsourced cheap crap they are producing at the moment, and leave pedals like this to the others.
