Just this week I pickeed up a new AC15CC. I am very impressed. The build quality is surprisingly good. The PCB uses decent quality components and all tube sockets are chassis mounted ceramics with very good hand-wired lead dress to the sockets. The cabinet is of excellent fit and finish for this price point. The reverb isn't very good but I never use 'verb on an amp so it is not a concern of mine. The tremolo is very good in my opinion. Both 'verb and trem are IC driven (NBD to me). I bought mine with the ceramic Warfdale speaker but swapped it out with an Emi Red Fang and it is a huge improvement. This little guy is LOUD with the Alnico with excellent clean headroom for a 2X EL84 amp. I also snipped the bright cap on the volume control which smooths it out a bit and gets rid of the brittleness on top. You have to pull the pot PCB to get to the cap, but it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. A Great amp IMO.
