I used an unmuffled Ambassador on my 20" Gretsch on every gig I played for about 10 years.

Great points made in your last sentence!At the moment I am using the Simon Phillips batter combo of clear Amby and rolled-up towel. All the low end I would want, plus good response and a more complex attack to my ear, compared to a ring-muffled head.
Only other batter head I have a lot of experience with is the PS3, which uses exactly the same thickness of film. I think I prefer the Amby plus towel muffling because it can be adjusted. Half of the perimeter is completely free to vibrate, plus the bearing edge is in contact with the actual head, not the underlay.
Remo make a hazy bass drum head? I thought hazy were amb snare side only.I love the clear (hazy) and a pillow
It's a bit easier to hear from where you're sitting.Is there any sonic advantage to using an Amb batter for pop/rock type gigs ?
They are called clear but have a haze to them lately. I like that film better than the super clear stuff. I wonder why some are clear clear and some milkyRemo make a hazy bass drum head? I thought hazy were amb snare side only.
Not IMO.Is there any sonic advantage to using an Amb batter for pop/rock type gigs ?
