What else sounds like Ashdown heads?

I feel that EBS heads like the v.1 Fafner share some similarities to the ABM heads in terms the basic features (comp, valve drive, mid scoop pre shape) but with a lot more treble and a little bit less sub bass on tap. 
 

Maybe the Ampeg SVT Pro series in terms of that slightly woolly but warm valve sound too. 
 

I don’t have any experience with the class D Ashdown heads.

Yep, Ampeg pretty similar tho I find that Ashdown have more clarity when the top end is pushed, seem a bit smoother to me, with Ashdown maybe being more low-mid biased with Ampeg more towards middle-mids if that makes any sense.

Totally agree.

Well I’ve had the PF800 and they can sound similar to Ashdown 

 

To be fair I think most warm sounding amps with good EQ adjustments can sound like each other perhaps with the acceptance of the grind / drive 

Even my Orange Little Bass Thing can be made to sound the same
