Shad Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 HI guys, i would like to buy a 210 Ashdown combo. I hesitate between an ABM Neo C210 combo and the new RM500 C210 EVO II combo. Price is the same (ABM is ised, RM is new). What do you think is the better combo, for sound only? I had some cabs with neodynium speakers in the past but didn't like the sound, Pro Neo speakers are good? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Forrer Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I have recently purchased an RM500 C210 Evo II combo. Used it for its first gig the other night, sitting on an Ashdown 115 ext cab. Holy moly! Seemed fairly quiet on stage but when I walked out front with my wireless, it was loo loud for the balance. I ended up with the gain on 10 o'çlock and the master a tad over 9 oçlock. Don't think I'll be needing the ext cab very often! Used the sub harmonic on one song and the drive on one song, and they sounded pretty good. Happy camper here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I’m still loving my RM800Evo2 but I have such bad gas for the new ABM Evo 5 that I’m going to sell the RM so I can start saving for the big boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well .. I had briefly the EVO 5 and didn’t find anything better than my EVO IV 600 .. the extra watts are negligible and the tone was 100% a match to my ABM600 I don’t personally think it’s worth the extra cost but .. it does look very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that has made it into the ABM iv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ardi100 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 New RM500 Evo II owner here. Just got my head last week and after working through the headphone button issue, it sounds fantastic. I have a couple of questions. Is any 2 button latching footswitch ok for the drive and sub? Also, has anyone sorted out the output dial detents issue? I click is too quiet for home, 2 clicks is thunderous! I'm loving the sound of this amp, I'm looking forward to playing it in anger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they are latching switches, any should be fine. I had a Neewer NW202 which I sold on here earlier in the year. I checked with Dave Green and he confirmed it was OK but I had to disconnect the LED's. Edited November 30, 2023 by BassBunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardi100 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Thanks. I think that could be useful once I sort out some settings at volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
