Members thom Posted March 18, 2013 Members Share Posted March 18, 2013 Order'd:) People keep raving about how versatile it is, and how good it sounds particularly with an AC30. It seemed out of stock EVERYWHERE back when I had my AC30, which I since then sold because that thing is heavier than a boat anchor and DAMN LOUD. Too loud for home use that is, even with my attenuator...I had to choke it too much to get anywhere near the rich chimey tones it gave me at rehearsels... Anyway, I'm on the lookout for a used AC15C2...No harm in already buying a good dirt pedal to team it up with, right? CSB!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WeStartToDrift Posted March 18, 2013 Members Share Posted March 18, 2013 They sound great through pretty much everything but Fenders (sans Bassman). I had one on my board for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members imbuedblue Posted March 19, 2013 Members Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yeah, they sound killer through an AC30. I think of it as a softer Rat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bieke Posted March 19, 2013 Members Share Posted March 19, 2013 I thought this was an ancient thread that was bumpedYeah, it's tailored for Vox amps, and there have been quite a few revisions if I'm not mistakenthe original Hotcake dates back to 1976 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sunsetcarcrash Posted March 20, 2013 Members Share Posted March 20, 2013 Yeah, I need to get rid of mine to get a drive that will work better with my Princeton since I got over my Vox phase. It makes my Fender sound like it's dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Trick Fall Posted March 20, 2013 Members Share Posted March 20, 2013 Love mine with my DRRI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members imbuedblue Posted March 20, 2013 Members Share Posted March 20, 2013 Works great with my Jag through a silverface Deluxe Reverb, but I've got a 50W Alnico Weber Blue Dog in there. I've always found the whole "sounds {censored}e through a Fender" thing is more to due with the speakers than the amp itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mirrorball Posted March 21, 2013 Members Share Posted March 21, 2013 Yeah, great pedal. I love it through my handwired AC15. Tried it through a Super Reverb at our practice space a couple weeks ago. Sounded OK. But through a Vox, just sweeeet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thom Posted March 21, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 21, 2013 Current amp: DRRI. Love it. Also loved my AC30 though, which I sold cause it was too loud for home use. As it turns out, so is the DRRI. So the answer I came up with, to replace the DRRI and cheapish meh distortion pedlol: AC15 + A/B box + attenuator + hotcake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
