Vox AC15 (Greenback) to swap for Hotrod Deluxe, Blue Junior or similar

partydave

Hi guys.

I recently got hold of my dream amp, a lovely, perfect condition AC 15 with greenback.
Unfortunately, I have hyped it too much and have to admit (much to my dismay) that it's not entirely the sound I wanted. It's also fairly heavy and I have to lug it up 2 flights of stairs twice a week.

I'm looking at swapping it out for a Hot Rod Deluxe, Blues Junior or similar bluesy tube amp.

Let me know what you have. No salesies, straight swap or bust

Assuming this is a recent re-issue is it fitted with a Vox branded Greenback or a Celestion Greenback? In addition some of the AC 15s came with Greenbacks branded Celestion but fitted withWharfedale (Vox) cones so although they look like the real thing they do not sound the same. Maybe this is where the amp is not meeting up with your expectations.

It's a Celestion Greenback, not sure if it's actually Wharfdale, but it's not branded as such.
Tonally, nothing wrong with the amp, and it does sound good, it's just not what I want.

I prefer the raspier cleans of Fenders in this price range. The AC15 also doesn't seem to take pedals as well as a Hotrod
