#Vox ac30cc2 two guitars upgrade

Apart from that, I can't see anything other than slight disadvantages, the big one being the fact that you have to jumper the two channels, to achieve channel mixing.

However, that latter issue is really not such a great thing IMO, since you just have to put the time in to change out the tubes in a CC2, and it is not the kind of job you would really want to be doing in a hurry in any case (or necessarily very often).

I agree entirely with the person above, that the main advantages of this are the speakers that come stock (greenbacks - sound very solid) and the ability to get to the tubes. It has loads of sag, and responds wonderfully to playing dynamics. I also really like the options on the back panel, although I generally have it set to 22watts, and on the 'modern' option. As the person above said, the ability to link both channels at the flip of a switch is something I use all the time - it allows me to quickly alter levels of gain/tonality for different songs, which also respond differently to changes in guitar volume. This amp is wonderful - I have gigged with it for over a year, it has never let me down, and sounds absolutely superb, especially with guitars with P90s and low output humbuckers. Finally, I took out the bright cap (although now, I probably wouldn't bother to do that again). I changed the reverb tank for an accutronics - much improved. I also swapped out the preamp and power tubes for JJs.

I didn't like the speakers enormously, and since I had had it quite cheaply (I was actually after an AC15 when I saw it, but it seemed such a bargain), I decided to upgrade the speakers to UK Celestion alnico blues. Everything about it seemed fine in terms of things being in working order. I bought my CC2 for about 2/3 of its listed price, as it had been on the shop floor a while/had been brought back.

Here is my take on the differences, as an owner of a (modified) CC2, and someone who has tried the C2.
