"Awesome amp"

Feature:
It's a pretty simple head, 5-band eq is all I need. High and low boosts work quite well, and although I don't see myself using the sub-harmonic switch much, it does sound cool. The VU meter is a nice touch too. The cooling fan is nice, works great.

Quality:
The knobs seem a little cheap, but thats my only complaint. The carpet covering on this amp is good quality, not the cheap stuff. All other componets seem a-ok as well.

Value:
I always believe in music gear "you get what you pay for", but this time I got more than what I payed for. This amp is great.

Desirability:
It's a very good looking, awesome sounding amp, and it's good quality as well. It seems like these are hard to get your hands on here in the states. There are only two ashdown dealers in my huge state of Texas and they said the MAG series seem to always be "on order".

Sound:
The tone is great on this head. I like a nice warm tone, not alot of high-end noise, and this amp hits the spot.. very clear sound. I've also played around and found tones on the other end of the spectrum that sound really good too. I used to own an ampeg and this head can really compete with it for alot less cash. I bought the MAG410T deep bass cab to go with this, and they sound great together. MAG series seems to be all around high quality at an affordable price.

Support:
The only dealing I've had with ashdown was emailing them on when these amps were being shipped out. I got a reply the next day saying it would be a week. A week later it was available on zzounds.com. So two thumbs up for that.

Overall:
I'm just a college student playing rock music with a band that gigs around town, this amp fits my budget while not sucking! I'm very happy with my purchase. People who buy this will be pleasently surprised at how good it sounds.

"Incredible sound at an incredible price"

Feature:
A more accurate eq woul have be fine such as the graphic on the MK version but not the same price!

Quality:
almost perfect, nothing to say.

Value:
THE BEST quality/price by far

Desirability:
could'nt play on another anymore, I think.

Sound:
amazing sound for the price! incredible. I've compared with much more expensive Ampeg, SWR, and I finally chose this one in conjunction with a 410, I firstly tried the 15 but noth enough at all. Both is really an ideal solution for an affordable gig.

Support:
Not really easy to find a dealer in my region, so I prefer not to think of a possible failure. But it's good on the road as well as in the studio for now.

Overall:
I don't intend to get another product as long as it works as actually. Otherwise, I vould buy the same or newer series, an ABM perhaps but I don't see why I would spend so much more money as I'm happy with this one. Never change a winning team as I could say!

About This Product!
Description
Docs
Designed for the busy semi-pro player who doesn't require all the sophisticated tone shaping and connectivity of the ABM range, the MAG range nonetheless delivers classic Ashdown tone all the way.

The MAG 300H head features a potent new fan-cooled 307 watts RMS power section. Rotary bass, middle and treble controls are supplemented by smaller rotary controls providing 15dB of cut and boost at 220Hz and 1.6kHz, providing a comprehensive 5 band EQ section. Additionally, front panel push switches for Bright and Deep settings provide instant access to attacking and warm, rounded sounds respectively and, on the subject of low-end response, the trademark Ashdown sub-harmonic generator is ready and able to deliver truck loads of earth moving tone if called upon. Inputs are provided for active and passive instruments and the front panel also features an effects send and return, a tuner/line output and a balanced DI output for direct connection to a mixing console.
