The opinion below will tell you everything you need to know side features
Control "sub-harmonic" is a good idea ... on paper. In fact, it is only used if it is put to the bottom, it's an octave too powerful. I would much prefer a short drive, but it's not very common in this price range.
UTILIZATION
The EQ is absolutely great! It can be used as a 3-band EQ. But the real plus, it is precisely the two small bands of additional medium. Very well chosen, it can have a presence in the mix, without the metallic sound we typically by increasing the medium. I tend to push these buttons a lot, especially since I use a hp 15 inch (ampeg classic).
The EQ knobs are very efficient (compared to what I have tried as EQ or bass guitar amp). Add to the possibility of désacitver the EQ to compare the results with and without. In short get a good sound is very simple. Yet I'm rather disabled the equalizer
Finally, push two "deep" and "bright". I use deep when I play mediator, and I play off the fingers. Slap fans will also appreciate.
SOUNDS
A big sound, even rock ... I ask nothing more! I use it with an Ampeg SVT 15 inches, and bought a 2x10 to get some clarity.
It delivers lots of bass without being too round. Perfect for rock, blues, reggae, country. It can also be good medium without slamming (punk. ..).
It provides well slap, but this is not the best for that.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had 5 / 6 months.
I like the sound, the eq, the look with the meter, the price ...
What I like least: Ashdown is a registered very difficult to find. I did all the stores of Rennes and Orleans without ever seeing (or even be able to order it). Today I live in Chicago, and the distribution is even more dismal: a single vendor OFFICIALLY throughout Illinois (which has yet hundreds of music stores, including Guitar Center, which are huge supermarkets).
Finally I found opportunities for $ 170. This is the model rack, I would have preferred the model head but hey I'm not going to complain.
I had the opportunity to try other models in the same price, in halls again. The Fender Rumble 100w: less powerful sound too round. It is stunning slap in on the other hand (slapper but I almost never). The Peavey TNT 100w: the sound is too medium ... A book for lovers of punk or metal.
For the price, there's no photo, I would choose the same (see the trouble I had to find it!)
But ultimately, I think not replace a tube ampeg svt ... It is not imminent, however.
