GMC Forum _ GEAR & PRODUCTION _ Vox Ac15 - Cc1 Tube Amp

Posted by: mattacuk Sep 2 2007, 08:40 PM

Hi guys!
Ive had the shock of a life time, my father is buying me a Tube Amp I have been looking around and im considering the Vox AC15 - CC1 because it looks the best tube amp for the price ( i cant go over that budget)

http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/options.php?id=69345

I looking for that warm rich rock/blusey tube tone like on bucketheads Eletric Tears album, and/or in classic rock. Can anyone tell me if this is a good buy, or recommend something else?

thanks

edit** or maybe the Laney?

Sweet. I have not heard either so I can't steer you in a particular direction but tube is definitely the way to go. I do know that Tony Iommi from Sabbath is into Laney though and they sound great live.

Hey Mattauk

For what its worth ive played the laney (15 watt one ) and it was great.

Super tone for the price, and really good build.

One of my good friends has one that he uses all the time for studio work and for teaching students.

Id try them both out if you can. Maybe soundcontrol Bristol might have them?
