Members schecterc1lh Posted December 26, 2010 Members Share Posted December 26, 2010 What are the differences in these amps? I know the C1 comes stock with a greenback, and that it has the normal channel, but what are the other differences? The CC1's are selling for much cheaper, and if all that is different is those 2 things, i could just replace the speaker, and since i dont plan on using the normal channel either way, i wouldnt be losing anything. I was just wondering if the schematic is slightly different as far as sound, or if it is just a few features and the speaker difference. Thanks!

Members booher Posted December 26, 2010 Members Share Posted December 26, 2010 Just wondering if you've ever played an AC30....because to me, the AC15 just does NOT hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IRG Posted December 26, 2010 Members Share Posted December 26, 2010 I also think the jacks on the newer AC15c1 are improved. Don't discount the normal channel on the new version though. I have found that this channel just sounds better with single coils. I'm not sure why, but on my tele and strat, it just sounds bigger. the other channel I use with my Les Paul because I can dial in or out the bass a little better. You might be able to find a nice deal on a nearly new AC15c1 that would make it worth it. I got mine for $450 off of a forumite here, great deal, great forumite too. You might find something similarly, and it seems at least to me, to be worth spending a bit more for this amp than the cc version, which I also think had some fuse issues too, though I could be wrong on that.

Two channels you can blend (I forget if it has 4 inputs, but A/B/Y boxes are possible) and a greenback. I'd say it's plenty worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NBarnes21 Posted December 26, 2010 Members Share Posted December 26, 2010 higher quality metal jacks and switches, and a much needed tone cut knob for both channels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members schecterc1lh Posted December 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 27, 2010 Thanks for the responses guys! I will look on that other thread and see what i can figure out, but as far as if you had the two, top boost channel vs top boost channel, with the a greenback in both, would there be any difference in sound? I have played the C1, and i loved it, and i used the TB channel with the tone cut pretty much off, so im not sure that it would play a huge role in which on to get (it would be a great feature to have, but im not sure how much i would use it. I play with humbuckers almost always, so the treble isnt insane with the tone cut off). I am just wondering in a direct comparison, how would they compare?
