Sound: Strong sound, near boutique quality, maybe a little thicker. Feature: Very interesting feature set. Need to use 4 ohm cabinets - a pair if possible - to get top volume levels. Ease of Use: Simple to use. 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. Overall: Very ambitious amp. Hope the matching cabs come in soon. Higher power units due too.

Sound: Decent sounds...several good factory presets. Feature: Nice gig bag included Ease of Use: Very easy to use...either factory presets, or storing your own sounds. 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. Manufacturer Support: Ashdown was very responsive to my amp problems. Overall: I'd pay 200 to 250 for this thing if it was reliable.

Sound: Great Bass Sound, easy to dial in. This amp is actually warmer than my big rig. Im using this with SWR Goliath Jr 2-10 4 ohm. Nice combination. This is my easy portable setup. The soundman loved the DI signal being sent Feature: Nice soft case/shoulder strap for great portability. Comes with rack ears to mount if desired. Well worth money spent Ease of Use: Easy Quality: Noise problem that you hear about was not an issue. The amp will run warm. I take very good care of my equipment so I do not see this as being a problem Value: Cant beat the price Manufacturer Support: I emailed tech support, got quick response! The Wow Factor: Amp controls, proramming of EQ (parametric and graphic) and did I mention you can also edit the compression values all via downloadable software Overall: Meets my needs for sound/portability

Sound: It takes a while to dial in a tone, but you can get a decent tone. Too noisy for studio. Feature: Yeah it's O.K. gig back and all. The Manual is really vague, there is no instructions for the editing software, and although fairly logical to use there are questions on a couple things that I can not find any information on. Ease of Use: The response from pushing the buttons and waiting for a reaction are slow at best. The editing software is useless since you dont deal in real time. Getting a tone of any kind is the weakest thing about this unit. On a live gig it's a problem. Quality: I would be concerned on the road. It is built well but my concern would be the electronics. There are some strange electical noises, so that is a little hard to trust. Value: For the price not bad. It would be a back up for me. Manufacturer Support: Have not dealt with support. The Wow Factor: Yeah, sexy Overall: I'm already looking. Getting tones is a bit of work, especially live. It makes sense, but I think it came up a little short in regards to live useage. I'm sure if someone spent the time to set up tones it would be more use, but on a gig when you have to make adjustments for the room and stlye etc... A bit of work, and time consuming. The odd thing is to get the 500 watts you need an 8 ohm cab plugged in each speakon. It would be nice to just use a 4 ohm cab instead of lugging around another cab. Small and portable is the point here is it not?

Sound: Pretty easy to use once you find the inputs are digital controls. Excellent compressor, high quality tone. I got it for a back up and began using it all the tme. The lightweight cabs at 4 ohms would be handy too. The only reason I chose a 9 is the operation of both amps at 4 ohms. I have 8 ohm cabs and cant get full power. Feature: Seems very well constructed. Very lightweight. The added computer access programs are also handy. You can get way more tones than needed Ease of Use: Once you figure this thing out, how it works, the inputs, eq, compressor are all digital, it becomes a dream to use. At first I had some funky nasty (not good) sounds. Then all at once it clicked on how it operated. Ashdown makes asumptions on their gear that you have had experience. Quality: Had this one to shut down too. It is very sensitive to input voltage. I have even used voltage conditioners. The tones I am getting are extremely good. Pure Ashdown Value: Bought mine on clearance. Stupid low price. Thought about another one. Manufacturer Support: When it shut down the Ashdown folks e mailed me very quickly and told me what to do. I had bad power. Was using plug strips. The Wow Factor: Pretty cool. But no massive size. When the superlight cabs come out I will use only the superfly and the neo cabs. Overall: This is good to go for now I am very rough on equip and havent trashed this one yet. This thing is very high quality all around. I simply did not expect it. They were on clearance everywhere. When you start to use it...the controls are quite difficult to understand. Once it hits you, Very simple
