What can i say... Great amp!
It has everything what you need. Great dynamics, great overdrive, great cleans.
It's very simple and it sounds really good! I've played a few amps in some shops and it's one of the best, if not the best yet...
And it sounded even good with lower master volume.

Cool. I need to try out the AC15 and see how it compares to my C1.

Was it the one in fawn tolex? Those things look great, probably age great too (not to mention sound).

Its a CC2 right? I would actually entertain that to be honest! :)

I don't want the head anymore because I don't like hauling around the head and a cab all over the place. That and I'm using my old fender twin as a cab, and I'd like to get the amp section of it fixed so I can use it again. But if I fix it... I can't use it as a cab. :)

I'm surprised that the handwired combo goes for $2k in Australia. Seems like a fantastic deal on a great amp. If inactually needed another amp I'd definitely grab one of these.

i really missed the amp today.
hate this curse of gas.

i have to say, it's as good as a matamp when it comes to "boutique" tone quality.
i mean the dynamics, the tone quality and so on.
that surprised me the most. i'd love to have one too.

As much as I love Orange amps, the AD30 and RV100 are soft spots in my heart... but the AC30 is where its at. Best amp for me period... for the playing dynamics, the tone, everything. I can do whatever I want with it! You can't go wrong with an AC30. :)

True story man.
But... you can go wrong, if you're into shredding metal music!

Haha, a "no-mids" control is probably exactly what a metal player needs though ;)
