Anyone here have an Ashdown tube amp?

Re: ashdown amps

These amps get very little talk anywhere, I am also curious of them. Jack.

Re: ashdown amps

The talk I hear about them is that they're voiced really dark and pretty unreliable.

A friend of mine at a local store has heard good things, and he was supposed to have had the "fallen angel" 60 watt head in his shop months ago, but the Norwegian distributor hasn't been able to get hold of them yet (no reason given)
Ashdown do make some quality bass amps, so it would definitely be cool if they could make a decent guitar amp at the price point these are selling..though I find that just a slightly hard to believe!

Re: ashdown amps

i had an ex demo Fallen Angel 40w combo. Good sound and really bass heavy. Ideal for nu metallers and people who love a chunky rhythm, not as hi gain as you'd expect!

Sold it on for a JCM800 :P

Re: ashdown amps

I was hoping it was high gain. Jack.

The dealer I talked to was having a very hard time with the distibutor as well and told him to f*&ck off and cancelled his order.I think 6 to 8 months is a little long to wait.

Heard a fallen angel Saturday with a 4x12 cab and was not impressed in the least.Dark, muddy,the tubes rattled and the boost switch had no effect what so ever.The owner was going to box it up and send it back.

Thanks Richard, that decides it for me. Jack.

Re: ashdown amps

The dealer still has the 4x12 slant cab for sale I may go pick that up if the price is right.4 greenback speakers cant go wrong there.
