Ashdown Touring 220 combo with valve pre-amp and solid state power amp £250 £250 Lovely Wellingborough

[Osiris]

This is an excellent condition Ashdown Touring 220 combo. It's a 1x15 setup featuring a twin valve pre-amp with a 180 watt old school power section, people more clued up than me can clarify whether it's solid state, class AB or whatever. It's definitely not a class D light weight unit! It has a 3 band passive tone stack with switchable bass and mid frequencies plus a bright switch. Tonally it's big and warm but isn't designed for full on valve distortion. 

 

It's in excellent condition with one superficial scratch in the tolex on one side and a couple of minor pulls in the grill cloth. It's lived in the bands private rehearsal room where it has never been abused. 

 

I have no real idea of the value of this so I'm asking what I think to be a reasonable £250 collected from the Wellingborough area. It's not exactly light weight so unfortunately I am unable to drag it out for posting. Potential buyers are welcome to try it out and the kettle will be on. However, I'm also happy to meet up somewhere up to an hours drive from Wellingborough. I'm looking for a straight sale although I could be tempted with a trade for a Genzler Magellan preamp/DI pedal.

About 10 years ago I bought one of these, stuck some castors on the bastard and have toured it all over the UK and Europe ever since. Incredible setup! Don't sleep on this. GLWTS
