dont know if this has been hashed out here, but which AC30 is the one to get? i've been considering selling some stuff to fund this, but havent had a chance to compare any of them.

when the latest AC30c2 came out, i was under the impression this was a HUGE improvement over the previous cc series and pretty close to a vintage AC30 (minus the ss rectifier). but lately ive been hearing mixed things. i know regardless, i would want one with some kind of blue speakers or have them put in. theres an AC30cc with celestion blues on TGP for $1000... seems like a decent deal. or is it only worth getting an older AC30? then theres also something like the winfield thomas cyclone.

That seems like a lot. You can get cc2s for around 500, and I don't think those speakers are $250 a pop.
Or just get this!

It taunts me everyday...

you gotta dumble up your set up bro

as in the super expensive amplifier dumble?

You're better off with Scumnicos than the Celestion Blues
The new handwired ones are supposed to be pretty good. I wouldn't touch a CC though.



No EF86 though

Here's an AC30 for the hipsters!

I will be checking back regularly for a proper verdict to this mystery.

Too much of a Music Ground connection. Those guys are shifty. Wouldn't go near it.

the CC2X is good, I myself have one, I also have an old British made Top Boost too

NSFW: show

I prefer the CC2X

oo pikchas on the old tb

I probably should point out it's an early 90's 6TB, rather than an old 60's 'proper' top boost

As far as I know it's a Marshall built one from about '94, sometime in it's life it had some old drake transformers fitted and a few treble caps switched

ah yes ive heard of those ones
what was the diff anyway?

like a price justification or no diff in sound between the 2?

im in the market for a vintage or 90s or handwired vox soon

I don't know really, I've never really looked at the differences between the 6TB's, I just got it because it was a great deal on ebay, but if you're looking for an AC30, I'd go 90s TB or Handwired, but if you can find a CC for cheap don't be scared, they are really good amps lurking under a treble-cap snip
