Is it Worth it? Nov 17, 2008 10:36:21 GMT

I am in the lucky position to own three amplifiers, Fender Twin Reverb 1976 with Orange basket JBL's, Fender Sidekick Reverb 25w 8" speaker, and a fairly new AC15cc1X (with "Blue Speaker").

I am considering offloading the lot and getting an AC15H1 TV model.

Would this amp go some way towards "That Sound" we all strive for?

I would also like to get some sort of power soak like a Marshall Power Brake or THD or similar, to be able to get the amp to work hard without upsetting the neighbours.

comments and advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

Mike.

I wish I had a signature.

Apart from the odd fault, usually to do with valves, the AC15 should be good for all the sounds for Hank and Shadows.
Apart from the power soaks mentioned, have a look at Ted Weber's MASS boxes. www.tedweber.com/ for the home page and www.tedweber.com/atten.htm for the attenuators.
Bear in mind that part of the sound is with the speaker working hard so using an attenuator will change that.

Charlie
