PVTele Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 [quote name='absolutpepper' post='1087857' date='Jan 13 2011, 12:37 PM']That DP200H looks interesting!![/quote] Funny you should say that - I just had that page open when the topic email came through, having had an email from Ashdown earlier! Wonder how the impedance works out on the DP200H - the SS Ashdown amps are all quoted into 4 ohms as you'd expect, so a quoted 300W RMS amp gives 200W into 8 ohms. Does the same apply to the all-valve amps, do you suppose? Because the CL115 Large cab (8 ohms, 500W) looks like the perfect match - put my '70 RI P-Bass through that lot and I'd be very near to heaven, I should think...

sk8 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Valve amps wil put their rated load into different ohmage eg 200 watts into 4 and 8 ohm cabs. The LB does as does my Hiwatt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I think Ashdown have really got their act together the last few years. Very impressive lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 The Drophead combos are obviously Ashdown's answer to the Ampeg B-15 reissues. They look nice. Plus Ashdown have finally come out with a 6x10"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoirBass Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Forget the Drophead! Check out the Drop-Jaw! [url="http://www.ampeg.com/products/heritage/b-15/index.html"]http://www.ampeg.com/products/heritage/b-15/index.html[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Anyone else curious as to how you can actually 'tilt back' an 8x10 without out it falling over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah, I've had one for a while and it's a really good cab. A lot cheaper than going for separate 4x10 and 2x10 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thodrik Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Interesting. I still have not even seen the BTA series around at gigs or in shops around here though, and they have been out for a while. It could be a while before I see the Drophead around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
