![]() You can play it at reasonably soft levels for practice and recording and it sounds fine, but if you want to crank it to where it's breaking up a bit, it's going to be pretty loud. To me, an AlNiCo is a big part of the classic sound of those amps - the "Vox Sound" - the chime, etc. I have an earlier one (AC15cc1) but I replaced the ceramic Wharfdale it came with with a Weber Blue Dog AlNiCo. I'm not sure what they're running in the current AC15's. A more efficient speaker setup will get more sound and volume out of the available power than a less efficient speaker, and can make a significant difference in perceived volume levels. The difference in volume between those two amps will also depend on the relative efficiency of the speakers. Should I maybe be looking for another Fender amp similar to the HRD but a lot quieter? Thanks in advance!Ĭompared to a 40W Hot Rod Deluxe, the wattage of an AC15 is lower - 15W. My follow-up question is how loud is the AC15C2 compared to the Hot Rod Deluxe? Again, I need something significantly more quiet than the HRD. How can I hear this thing properly if no one has one? This is an issue because I can't really ask them to order one without putting a deposit down and basically telling them I'll buy it. ![]() In fact, most of the people I spoke with didn't even know that there's a 15-watt model that has two speakers. The problem is, no music places near me sell the AC15C2 in the store, since it's kind of an odd custom thing I guess. I heard the sound and particularly the reverb of the AC15C2 is a bit better than the regular AC15 so I wanna go for that. Other than that, I love the sound of it though. Currently I have a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe but I don't gig with it (only record) and I have roommates so it's a little too loud for me (I need earplugs by the time it breaks up). ![]() I'm in the market for a new amp and I have my sights set on a Vox AC15C2. ![]()
