4,7 / 5,0 | 
Ashdown’s new MF 484 is described as combining the classic tone of a valve amp and the modern technology of amp modelling. Offering the best of both worlds for guitar tone.
Ashdown MF 484
The Ashdown MF 484 is a valve amp rated at 30 watts and incorporates Two Notes Torpedo which means it has six virtual cabinet models at hand.
It is powered by 1x ECC81, 1 x ECC82, 2 x ECC83 in the preamp and 4 x EL84 in the power amp section.

Controls
The amps controls consist of Volume and Gain plus Bass, Middle, Treble and Presence controls. Along with a six-way rotary knob for the selection of one of the pre-set virtual cab emulations above. Along with a Boost knob control, UK and US inputs and an FX send/return loop on the front panel.
The UK input has a more compressed and tight classic British tone. Whereas the US input has more headroom for a cleaner tone.

I/O
On the rear panel, there are connections for 4-ohm or 8-ohm speaker cabinets, with a direct DI output and also a headphone out.
Plus, a line in on XLR for re-amping of recordings back into the Torpedo.
This new amp offers a lot of flexibility and could be perfect for any guitarists that need to capture real tube tones in the studio. Or for small studios, that require a flexible guitar amp for artists.

Ashdown seem to not know their own amp, as the picture shows 16 and 8 ohm connections on most pictures of the back and only the close up has 4 and 8… anyway, I have a REVV with the TwoNotes and it’s pretty handy. I am hoping to be able to try this one somewhere soon to see how it does irl
