Hi what’s the brand of the bass guitar?
Be really nice if you would demo an amp with a bass that the average person can afford and is familiar with the sound of. Or better yet, do it with two or three different types of basses.
Great review, thanks for sharing
Nice Amp indeed, and a well-made demo video too!
The three band EQ section seems to be simple yet very effective, which I always like a lot.
Although I'm yet to check it out in person, I think the gain section is probably a bit too "hot", fuzzin' away even at very low settings. The "blender" pot seems to act more like an on/off switch. In fact it sounds almost like an (external) stand-alone stompbox: the overdriven sound sits on top of the clean signal, making it sound like an effect rather than a more subtle, natural (and usable!) saturation coming from within(!) a hard-working tube amp.
I understand this is partially due to the circuit, which leaves the lower frequencies alone. Add to this an over-zealous distortion stage, and this is what you get. Way too obvious, way too show-offy (I probably invented a new word here, but hey, I'm only German! ;-)). An aggressive, almost annoying effect(!) sound you can hardly use on a regular basis, as a go-to setting at a 3-hour gig…
Wouldn't it be nice to have a few more options to gradually move from "(sort of) clean" and "fuzz"?
And what about a variable(!) low frequency rolloff in front of the distortion stage (en lieu of a fixed frequency), which btw. would be killer feature?
I guess that would make an already nice amp a great amp…
Nice demo, thank you
Did you use a DI signal to record this or a cab? If a cab which one?
that's a damn good amp
Excellent demonstration, one of the best and detailed videos I've seen. Nice job.
14:04 That tone makes me feel funny. Like when we used to climb the rope in gym class.
the Bassment, very funny
The reverb on the bass is a little distracting…but great review and great production quality.
Almost sounds more like a fuzz than a distortion/overdrive but sweet sound
great demo, what speaker make and types are you going through ?
That's a great demo thanks.
What bass is that?
Please do this for the new Ashdown ABM 600 Evo4. Really want to see how the new valve circuit acts, whether it actually can add distortion this time round.
