Greetings o learned fellows.
I have warm, strong feelings for my AC15 but there is something that has started to bother me. It's not a huge deal and it's an intrinsic part what the amp is, but - I have a lack of headroom. Noodling at home this is obviously not an issue, but at rehearsal it simply starts clipping in the power section too soon. It's a wonderful, wonderful sound in itself, but quite simply not right for the occasion.
The Captain Obvious answer is to get an amp with more clean headroom, say an AC30. But I'm intrigued by the idea of adding speakers instead, because I feel this would give my sound more oomph. So I'm thinking maybe add a 1x12" extension cab, say the one Orange offers, or maybe another amp, specifically a Blues Jr which would also give me stereo options.
What do you think?
