evan47 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) Are there any users of the Ashdown c112-300 combo on here please? I am looking far second amp for backup and feature wise it ticks all the right boxes, (apart from country of origin). Hoping to convince the wife it is a good idea to treat myself to one as a birthday present in mid April.

MattW Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Ashdown model numbers get a bit confusing, but if you mean the OriginAL C112-300 with the tilt back option then yes, I had one for a bit! It sounded great and was really light, but it wasn't quite loud enough for a 3 piece blues/rock band in a smallish pub without PA support or a second cab. In the end I used mine with an RM112 cab and it was really nice and gigged it a lot before heading down the Barefaced route for a while. The C210-300 is probably a bit louder as each 10 inch speaker is wired individually to use the amps full power, but you can't add and extension cab. I'd definitely get one of these if I needed a small combo again, although I wish they had Tolex coverings rather than carpet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan47 Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 Thank you. Volume is not a problem as it will be for home use. (I will hang on to my Ampeg in case I needed to gig). I would rather Tolex but "rat fur" is fine. How did you find the general build quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattW Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Yep was good, no complaints other than the carpet thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How loud was the fan noise when played at bedroom level please? It is important that the fan is not too loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I'm not sure I ever played it quietly enough to notice!! I don't remember noticing it at any point, but couldn't say for sure I'm afraid.

evan47 Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 Thanks for replying. A local store has one in stock and, as they will give a return period of 14 days I may very well try one out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
