Messages: 2, I have an AC30cc2 with uk blues which are well broken in, nos Brimars and jj power valves with the bright cut mod. They just seemed like really cheaply made and haphazardly thought out versions of the ac circuit to me. I haven't played one of the new ones, but I thought the cc's were too loose and indistinct.
I am also a fan of the tighter sound, not flabby like the cc's, I always hated the flabbiness of the cc's.īut, remember i dont believe that the tube sag is important to the vox sound just my opinion, some may not agree, but thats why its opinion The cc's are nice but from what I have heard myself by doing ab tests and the opinion of most vox fans I know the new c2's are an improvment to me I also jupiters moon io has active volcanoes to add that I play epiphone hollowbodies and a tele, so using any other guitar may yield different results.Īpr 19, 4. This is due to several reasons: Greenbacks versus lower end celestions standard Removal of the switchs and going back to the 4 seperate inputs, allowing to jump inputs if you want or play two guitars at once.
I personally think the new c2's are an improvment over the older cc's. I was looking into buying the older cc but was never that impressed by them next to the older 60's vox's. The cabinet felt sturdy regardless of the fact that its MDF. IMO, that sag is something that is crucial to the tone of the AC I didn't get a chance to look inside, but I'm sure its built like the CC2. At lower volumes this wasn't an issue, but when the amp is turned up high, the lack of the "tube sag" from the rectifier is something that I missed when demo-ing the C2. Messages: I can most likely attribute this to the fact that the CC2 has a tube rectifier and the C2 doesn't.
