VOX AC30CC2 DEMO MODS
There are a million "upgrades" and mods you can perform on these, but do they really need them? Most likely not, and you can really start getting in to that "chasing the dragon" deal with these amps once you start changing out the components. I think the Wharfdales, especially when broken in, are a good speaker, certainly better than the rap they have received.
VOX AC30CC2 DEMO PLUS
I don't want to sound like John Lennon, so 15 watt $250+ plus alnico blue speakers didn't interest me at all. If you are looking for a new sound based on what you have heard come out of AC30s, the CCs are pretty good amps. So, if you are looking to get the sound you are used to in a Vox, forget it. I would equate this to die hard RIC users finding other guitars either difficult or uncomfortable to play. I'm not saying these amps sound better than anyone elses, it's just the characteristics of them are so unique that once you become a real fan of them, other amps (haha). I have owned and played many different brands, but nothing comes close to how this amp responds and delivers. Nothing can match the speed, the headroom, or natural compression characteristics you have come to know and love over the last 15 years. Get one of those Swanson 212 cabs if you want to downsize. Seriously though, you have been spoiled by your Hiwatt, especially live.
