Merton Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I’ve just sold an Ashdown head to slim the herd. This is not helping at all 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 4 power valves and 5 pre, says Mr Gooday. Looks fantastic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Typical, just as I leave my band and have no intention of joining any others for a considerable time an amp like this turns up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Ashdown and all Valve , sounds good to me, and I like the look of it 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Do like the style of it. Probably not going to like the weight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the design is perfect, but I expect it'll be heavy. If they would make a more lunchbox sized amp with that ABM power stage, that looked a bit like this, I'd be a very happy, but poorer man...

Basically an updated Spyder. Oh dear.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merton Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I suspect it’s the exact same preamp as the CTM100/300 - the Mellow switch on them is a lovely little thing IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Forget 200Wm this literally goes to 11 (and way beyond). How many amps go to 11?? This thing is going to be LOUD 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't learn do you?! Oh well cleared up space for this one! Is the tube select dial for biasing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the tube select dial for biasing? I do indeed never learn! It’s be boring if I did 🤣 The tune select is for power amp valve biaising like on the CTM100/300 models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Oh geez, I love my Ampeg PF500 but I love my Ashdown CTM15 and this will sound sooo good through my Barefaced Two10. What do we think this will be priced at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon without all that wood it’ll ‘only’ weigh around 15-20kg, practically featherweight....for a valve head 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la bam Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 If anyone can bring in a 15kg all valve (with plenty of valves) monster then they're onto a winner. 200w seems a lovely compromise power stage wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I can already tell it would be too heavy for me. (And no doubt the fan noise would make me want to batter someone). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
