This 2x10” combo was part of the \"Dual Tube\" series, intended to provide a cleaner, more articulate response than the standard ABM series. It used a Dave Green-designed preamp originally found in the high-end Ashdown 427 Small Block, paired with the reliable ABM solid-state power stage. Early units like this one were part of the UK-built \"Valve Series,\" featuring high-quality internal components and a high-voltage tube preamp. Unlike many Ashdown amps known for \"grind,\" the 550 series is famous for its \"crystal clear\" highs and deep, tight lows, making it popular with players who want the true sound of their bass to shine through.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL EU PURCHASES ARE DELIVERED WITH TAXES AND DUTIES PAID\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAll purchases include EU taxes\/duties paid, i.e., nothing further is due on receipt of goods to any EU state.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY BUY FROM US\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe are one of the world's leading specialists in used and vintage gear with over 30 years of experience.
