Ashdown Fallen Angel: Playing Your Amp A QuarterMile At A Time
Nowadays, Ashdown is synonymous with bass amps that are very solid performers at low prices, but that's not all they do. DJ Puzzle catches up with Jon Pomerantz of QuarterMile and his Ashdown Fallen Angel tube amp.
Check out this video to hear the history behind Jon's decades old Fallen Angel.

JASON DONNELLY: Jason Donnelly here again with Gearwire.Com, and we're at Martyr's, and this is Quartermile. They're playing tonight. What's your name, sir?
JON POMERANTZ: Jon. Jon Pomerantz. Nice to meet you. I'm playing on a Fender Strat, American made, and I'm putting it through an Ashdown Fallen Angel amp. This amp was featured in Guitar Magazine like 20 years back when they first started featuring tube amps in Guitar Magazine. Supposedly, that exact head was in Guitar Magazine; that was what I was told, and I got it -- it's made way over to me, which was amazing, so.
JASON DONNELLY: That's pretty cool. This is pretty unique. I haven't seen one of these in, I think, in my experiences with Gearwire.
JON POMERANTZ: It's a British-made tube amp, and it's just got the best sound and it's like the amp that people are, I think, are starting to fall towards now since like solid-state amps are what we were using before, and people are still using solid states but everyone's starting to migrate back toward tube amps and a lot of the British-made stuff is where it's at.
I'm Jon, we're Quartermile, and you can check as out on Myspace, quartermiletheband.myspace.com and www.quartermile.com.
