    sot this :)

    handcrafted in Prague, Czech Republic (i’m czech, btw), new Celestion V30, new selected JJ tubes

    4 El84s, but man… it sounds more like a fender amp! :D ridiculously beautiful clean channel with really awesome bright switch (not harsh at all!), cool crunch (but still i’ll be using my Jekyll&Hyde;), XLR emulated output

    i’m astonished by the Volume pot – i’m able to dial in a volume usable in the night without making neighbours even notice my playing :) but still it can totally scream when you want it to

    and the price couldn’t be better

    it handles distortion pretty well, it’s not that huge sound as with the VC30, but that’s because this is smaller than the VC30, so it’s logical

    freeze is sounding like it’d be instant post-rock, esp if combined with the cathedral.

    exactly what i’m thinking :-) i’m curious about the price

    good for you, man! :) imho, it’s just very cool and intelligent mixture of hip hop, pop music and some psychedelic weirdness :) but i’m aware of some people who are repulsed by the “hip-hop” part

    but the new album (Plastic Beach) is somehow less cool than Demon Days or my beloved debut album… but still – there are some good tracks!

    VS Jekyll&Hyde;with an option to reroute the OD channel before distortion (kinda like TC Electronic Nova Drive)

    fenriz, from Voxes i know the AC30CC2 pretty well and the laney is kinda similar, but not really the same :) it has this beautiful, warm sound of EL84s, but to me, the AC30 sounds more jangly and sharp, when the VC30 is more jazzy – more vintage, round sound. I’m talking about clean channels of course

    when it comes to drive channels… the VC30 sounds – again – more vintage to me. More r’n’r vibe, kinda muffled, but bare-boned sound. The AC30 drive top boost channel has more clarity, edge, it’s more pronounced and modern…

    the VC30 has a full 3-band EQ, but i use it only for boosting mids a bit. I like the VC30’s reverb a bit more than the one on the AC30 – don’t know why

    these are just my opinion, but in general:

    AC30 = more jangle, edge, more modern sound
    VC30 = more rounded, jazzy, vintage, mainly usable for clean sound (but oh how pretty it is!)

    Flick: unfortunately not, but i’d like to stick to tube amps :)

    Guys, please… don!t recommend me any other amps… i don’t wanna waste your time with this – i’m really terribly indifferent when it comes to purchasing something new :D

    well it doesn’t look very good

    and i’m not sure about the C1 either… we’ll see, i’m gonna try some amps during the holiday and then pick something… i fear i won’t be able to post here, because i’ll be ashamed that i started with AC15H1TV and ended up with something from bullshit-amps (insert what you don’t like)

    for 10$ it’s cool but not when you need it shipped to the europe :(

    anyway… i started to explore The Mars Volta and i dialed kinda crazy modulated delay :) short time, wide pitch shifting, long repeats… it’s not as cool as omar’s analog warbly sounds, but it’s very cool…

    unfortunately with this, i lost my through-zero flanging :D

    guys, you make me think :D it hurts

    the truth is… if i’d bought the C1, i’d raise some money during the holiday and i could buy some more PEDULZ YAY!!

    i mean… i want to try the Deluxe El. Mistress :) or the Ring Thing… or the HOAX… or… you know that feeling

    but with the Heritage AC15 i’d get the top notch handmade amp… but is it worth it… hmmm…

    i hate situations like these :D
