Ok here i am with another dilemma..
as usual there's that trade-off between portable and great tone..
so i have a vox ac30 with alnico blues.. a fantastic amp.. i'd love to have a hundred of these and only one guitar! wow 100 ac30s in stero config.. hmmm..
anyway, dilemma.. it doesnt get enough use.. why? uts friggin loud and fragile! not to mention heavy.. and it can only fit in the trunk of my car.. not a good place to store a tube amp..
so i got offered a Matchless Spitfire from a forum friend.. he'll give me his Matchless, i give him my AC30.. good deal? and who's losing out?
I can see the appeal of the Spitfire.. portable.. low wattage.. almost like an AC15.. just a volume and tone knob.. its a no-brainer amp.. and supposed to sound really good..
i know im moving into boutique stuff here.. im reluctant to let go of the vox, they are getting quite rare in this part of the universe (there's a collector here.. he buys all the vox's grrrrrrr
)
or i can buy it for $1300 (so not quite boutique, remember the $2500 cut-off?
)
so opinions, ideas.. recommendations..
