How many folks gig with AC15's?
I've had my AC15C1 now for about 3 months...the honeymoon is over, and I still really love it. My current band is Country (new and old) and it's own personality shines through. Gigged with it for the 5th time this weekend and it just continues to really make me smile. It's sweet spot is right in that medium sized club where it can be over driven at 3/4 master and 3/4 volume on top boost channel.
I don't have much clean headroom...but I don't use OD pedals at all any more. I've got a TS9 on there, but I haven't turned it on in 2 months. I use a Keely compressor for my boost, a delay...and that's it. I'm still not crazy about the tremlo in it...but it'll get me by on the two or 3 songs I use it. I don't see many AC15's out gigging but wanted to see how many folks on here gigged with them and how they were using them.

I play my ac30 out all the time, though I use dirt pedals and get it on the edge of breaking up.

That's all I have and it gets compliments each and every gig. I also a COT50 (Handwired older model) that is always on. We play mostly alt.country stuff, with some Who-ish/Neil Young-ish overtones.
The trem is lacking as is the verb. Another Bill... Ran$ome

Use the crap out of my AC15HW. Normal channel, bypass the master, half-power switch if I need it quieter. At that point it's just VOLUME and CUT. Oh-so-sweet.

i gigged an ac15 pretty heavily for about 5 monthes. played all sizes of venue from small clubs to theaters and outdoor festivals. i loved the tone and response, although when pushed to higher volumes it would start getting kind of harsh, but all things considered it always sounded really good. i always got compliments on tone. i used it with a clean boost and delay in front. gretsch guitar
i got a hankering for more clean headroom and multiple speakers so it had to go. |

I have used (and sometimes still use) my AC15 C1 live a lot.
Even at really big venues/open airs. I just angle it so it does point at my ears. I put in a G12H30 to make it a bit louder. Sometimes i run it stereo with my deluxe reverb. Great amp. |

I do mostly use it.

A few years back, my band split a bill in a small club with a band whose guitarist used an AC-15. He let me use it for our set. It worked well. I didn't really get a chance to put it through its paces but I was intrigued enough to look around for good deals on one. I ended up with an old 2xEL84 Gibson GA-8T. It's not an AC-15 but it's not a bad little grab-n-go amp.

I had one and was giggin' with it last summer.
This summer I go with a Vox Pathfinder with a 12" speaker instead.

I use my modded AC-15 TBX all time... I use a second one for large show only.
