"Cute butt kickin' lil pup!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I only got this for practice & portability. Probably the only combo I'll need at least for a while.
Sound
The 2 10" speakers are housed in very efficient lightweight cabs. The separate cabs help the sound while keeping the weight down by not needing baffles to counter 2 speakers in a single enclosure. The sound projection is noticeably better than a combo with 2 speakers mounted horizontally just off the floor.
Features
I was somewhat surprised that this came packaged together, obviously intended to be sold only as a single sale, but didn't include speaker cables. Not that I was short speaker cables but for anyone buying this little rig might have to make a trip to the music store just to try it out. No pedals, nothing fancy and I like that.
Ease of Use
The input gain stays moderate until about 3/4 of the way up. Then it gets very good without distorting. With the gain at 2/3 and the volume about halfway, my passive Fender P sounded very good considering the size and intent of this rig. The deep in/out actuallu works quite well. The 3 adjustments for bass, mid and treble are wide ranging in sound.
Quality
Very well made. Solid. The stacking corners work. It's size and weight are why I bought this as a practice rig to take somewhere else. My 4 X 10" cabs and Peavey Firebass head or my 2 Crate BT-350 heads I use in tandem in biamp are a load. I do worry my cat might knock it over so I unstack it after using it.
Value
This is, in my mind, one of the best choices for a combo. The sound and portability make it worth 50% more than it's sold for.
Manufacturer Support
Don't know & hope I don't need to find out!
The Wow Factor
This thing is so cute that even if it didn't work well it's a nice decoration. Especially sitting next to my big stacks. Like their puppy!

"The "Perfect Ten" is just that perfect!!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

I don't think I will need or want another practice amp for as long as this continues to function. It really fills the bill.
Sound
This is the best little practice rig I've ever used. Great tone,volume,looks and construction. A real step up from those under powered, crappy beginer's amps. I couldn't be happier with the Ashdown so far. I live in SLC so I thought a NJ dealer would ship from back east and it would take a week to arrive. My mini-rig came out of Sparks Nevada and was here in just two days! The "Perfect Ten" really lives up to it's name IMO. It is perfect for practice and small gigs. @$200 it just can't be beat. Great little amp and at a great price. Very good service from Zzounds as well.
Features
The small size,cool appearance,quality construction and clean power are major pluses. I can't find a thing to fault about this little power house. Perfect (10)!!!
Ease of Use
Stack it up, plug it in, set the tone and you are groovin'.
Quality
No flaws, cheap materials, or malfunctions. Looks to be a high quality, well designed piece. Quality control appears to be first rate. Even the cool VU has a convex clear lens instead of a cheaper flat plastic piece. A nice touch and an indication of attention to detail in it's over all design and build.
Value
I've never seen higher quality or heard better sound for such a small amount of money. Great value!
Manufacturer Support
N/A haven't need them yet.
The Wow Factor
It's a sexy little amp. Very, very cool.

"Nice deal!"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I needed an amp to practice with, but didn't want an anemic 15 watt amp that is so prevelant. This fits the bill nicely. I can extend the dynamic range of my bass and not break my savings account.
Sound
Very nice practice amp. Too small for anything but practicing but wonderful sound if you're going to mic.
Features
Above average features. Very fundamental piece of gear.
Ease of Use
Can't get much easier to use - plug it in - power it on.
Quality
Top notch construction.
Value
For the price, it's the best amp I've played.
Manufacturer Support
No need for it, can't say.
The Wow Factor
Great looks, great sound, not much beef, but not expected at this price.

"I sure am Glad I found this amp"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
bassed (pun intended) on the sound, I will have to give some serious consideration to Ashdown , in the near future.
Sound
what a grate little amp.... I was getting a bit tired of hauling my tnt160's around.... especially to a practice... I look around at such things as the Ashdown five-fifteen, and, though it seemed great, I felt as though I would still be hulling something. I figured id try the cl210, especially for the size, and the price. this thing just sounds wonderful, even with my 5 string.... its really clear, and rather punchy, and the 65 w is enough (I certainly hope) for nights in the practice room.... I very neat looking, wonderful sounding, and seemingly well built piece of gear.... glad I added it to my collection.
Features
plugged it in, and away I went.
Ease of Use
can't be much more simple
Quality
Seems to be made real well.
Value
Oh, at the around 200 I paid, im callin' all my bass playin friends, and tellin' them to pick one up.
Manufacturer Support
have not..... id have to imagine, being across the big pond, it won't be all that easy... Just hope I don't have to.
The Wow Factor
looks good.... (though the head is a bit large)
