![]() ![]() ![]() One thing that’s well worth noting is that neither of the combo amplifiers have built-in attenuators so if you want to make them playable at lower volumes then you’ll need to get a separate attenuator. 100-300 person venue with drummer: AC30 is best option.100-300 person venue without drummer: AC15 with mic will be loud enough if using distortion or an AC30 if using clean tones.The only difference is that AC15C1 is all tube, whereas the AC10C1 has a solid state transistor for the first and last gain stages as opposed to the AC15’s all tube preamp. 100 person venue with drummer: AC15 with mic will be loud enough if using distortion or an AC30 if using clean tones The preamp volume pots and master volume pots are literally wired the same, and in the same place in the circuit on both amps (then the AC15 has a 2nd channel as well).Less than 100 person venue without drummer: AC15 (no mic) will be loud enough.The AC30 is more suitable for larger venues as it packs more volume and will still sound loud when you are trying to get a clean tone. However, if you don’t want to mic the amp up, then the AC30 is of course the better option. If you are confident that you’ll always have access to a mic at your venues, then the AC15 will be loud enough for most situations unless you want cleaner tones. The Vox AC15 is suitable for smaller venues or mid-size venues where you can mic the amp. But if you’re only using heavy overdrive, then the AC15 could still be fine for decent size venues. If you are using clean tones, then the AC30 with its larger headroom may be needed. You really need to consider how clean or distorted your tones need to be to decide which is “loud” enough. However, it’s important to note that double the power DOES NOT equal double the volume. Youll want to be sure to change out the cheap chinese stock tubes for more bass and volume output with 4 new JJ tubes. The amp gain dial actually sounds better to me than most of my drive pedals JHS, Earthquaker, etc. Both these amplifiers are loud, however the Vox AC30 is significantly louder since it has double the power. Vox AC10C1 has more volume and headroom than my 15 watt 65 Fender Princeton Reverb Reissue. Vox AC15C2 2x12 15-watt Tube Combo Amp with Greenback Speaker.
