I missed my 1964 AC30 so much that...

Postby David Martin » 28 Jun 2012, 16:07

I just found and bought an unused AC15 Heritage handwired... sounds great too.

Any tips on speaker break-in or WHY?

Nice amp, as you know I have one, but not loud enough to gig and too loud for the house. I rarely use mine as I seem to favour the Vox ADVT30 in the studio. That said I wouldn't feel right parting with it either, so another waste of money for me . . . . . :lol: :?

Hi all
I did exactly the same David and it sounded great. I gave it to Amanda to do her, whatever she does, thing. It now sounds fantastic with the ESE.
I dont understand your speaker break- in question. Do they need breaking in?
Regards Geoff.

It is generally accepted that new speakers are treated in the same way as car engines used to be. In other words don't push the volume of the amp to excess for a reasonable period.
One method that I use is to input a music signal into the amp (about 50 to 100mV which is the same level as your guitar) and leave it for a few hours.

I have to stress that the music must be made up of Shadows recordings !!!! ;)

The present band I'm playing in mics everything through the PA even in the smallest venues, so outright volume is not such an issue for me...
