Feature:
Active/passive Imputs, level for the preamp, 5 band EQ, Direct Inject XLR, push-button deep/bright boosts, sub-harmonic with level (which you have to play with it to get it to make a big difference), effects send/return, and a tuner/line out 1/4 jack. The only thing I would have changed would be a speakon output, but it's not a neccessity.
Quality:
I thought since I had a warm studio, and people constantly have heads over-heat on them, I would have to get a seperate fan on it, but after the first use, I noticed out the side vents, it was blowing out cold air. My head is staying nice and cool. All the jacks are secure, and the knobs are staying right where they are. Definatly NOT a piece of junk!
Value:
Way better than most of the other heads I was looking at buying. This being the middle of the road ashdown, it blows new ampeg, swr, GK, and Fender out of the water. Though top TOP end Ampeg is better than this, I believe Top end ashdown might be better.
Desirability:
silver with black? always a good mix. Plus, the vu meter gives it that Sophisticated Look. Like the cab I got with it, first day, had to give it a hump. :P
Sound:
Very Much in love with this thing! I play it through a mag410, and I can't belive how great the sound is! you can set your EQ, or at the push of a button, use an internal preset, and I am still just using the preset it is that good! Honestly, after this, I am sticking ONLY with Ashdown!
Support:
Never had to deal with them, but all I hear is good things!
Overall:
Try this or other Ashdown before buying something else. I was SO sure that I had to spend alot of money getting an ampeg setup for the tone I wanted. I took a chance and ordered this because of the Ashdown reviews, and I think I made a better choice!
