Here we go again, trying to peddle my wares on here.
Ashton BV300 head, 300w KT88 head... all valve preamp. Amazing value for the money at less than a quid per valve watt! It is also very close to the Eden E300T (if you believe some of the theorists, its simply a low price rebranding of the Eden!).
Really clean sounding amp. Complimented by a decent drive pedal (If thats your bag !). Has fender style cut only preamp and manages to retain that old school tone and feel.
There are the odd scuff and scrape in the tolex, as would be expected from travels in the van, but otherwise, rest of the amp is clean.
Benefits from individual bias points for each KT88 so buying matched triples or sextets aren't an issue anymore. Currently running EHX KT88s, EHX 12ax7, 2x EHX 12at7 and 1x EHX 12au7 Phase Inverter. The valve must be almost worth the price alone.
Only selling due to finding an SVT II (non pro) for a song, so this one has to trot down the road i'm afraid.
Trials of the head are welcome and expected.
Link to pics of the internals (Cheers Mr Foxen)
