![]() ![]() Hello Yes, you can knock it down to 7.5w at which it is only just deafening. How is the hand wired one at home volume Hatti ? Its got the half power switch hasnt it ? I nearly pulled the trigger on one last week but fancy trying one first tbh If you're after the 10, I'd venture that you might as well go for the 15 and get the 12 inch speaker? I'm not sure if it could be modified - there's probably room to put the PCB further up, but it's possible that there is some unexpected issue with that - eg a stability problem - which could be why they've done it like that.Īt least if we know a Creamback will fit, then a Greenback will too if you prefer that - in fact I'm surprised that isn't the choice in the Limited Edition. I'm actually surprised they can even fit a Creamback in there, with the plastic cover on the magnet it must be just about touching the PCB. If they'd fitted them horizontally further up like the preamp valves, you could get one in. It really is a shame they've designed it like that - it's not the cabinet depth that's the problem, it's the awkward layout with the power valves mounted vertically right behind the speaker. Both are really good amps and I'm confident you'll enjoy yourself. I subsequently upgraded to an AC15 for a decent amount more headroom with a louder band. ![]() I really liked my AC10 overall and it was excellent for playing with the quieter band (mostly acoustic, no "rock" drum kit) I was in at the time. One thing that you may already know but just in case not: bear in mind that the AC10's shallow cabinet depth will preclude most replacement speakers if you are considering this option - especially alnicos. I thought the standard speaker was good too - tried swapping it for something out of an older Vox Cambridge amp and it made no difference. The originals weren't awful, but sticking some basic JJs in mine made it an awful lot warmer and richer in breakup. Seconded on getting new valves for a standard AC10. I then stuck a creamback in and it made a small difference, a little warmer, but as ICBM says not a whole lot. ![]() I stuck decent valves in my Ac10c1 and it made a big difference. ![]()
