Ashdown Superfly Bass Amp Customer Review

Feature:
Very interesting feature set. Need to use 4 ohm cabinets - a pair if possible - to get top volume levels.

Quality:
Very nicely made. Some owners report hum or high-pitched whine. Hum is within acceptable levels. I do hear a whine occasionally but it goes away.

Value:
It's worth the money if you get a good unit. A steal at $279.

Sound:
Strong sound, near boutique quality, maybe a little thicker.

Ease of Use:
Simple to use.

Overall:
Very ambitious amp. Hope the matching cabs come in soon. Higher power units due too.

"Great sound...when it works"

Feature:
Nice gig bag included

Quality:
Brand new out of the box...played it for about an hour...smelled that electrical smell...it went dead. next day it worked again...for an hour and went dead again.

Sound:
Decent sounds...several good factory presets.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use...either factory presets, or storing your own sounds.

Support:
Ashdown was very responsive to my amp problems.

Overall:
I'd pay 200 to 250 for this thing if it was reliable.
