combos are a ok, but get heavy as one ages. they are a pain to lug about.

even my Marshall 1X12 combo has huge wheels, don't sit on it! it will fall over
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

The mids are way less confused than the 50.

Advantage of the classic 20 is that its as light as a feather, its what everyone played before boutique/artisan evolved.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

First rollout for example suffered a nasty rattle. Sorted in second rollout. Also they’re just not very good amps. Sure tone is subjective blah blah but I’ve not heard one sound good before.

Desktop fan in ac30 :cool:

The ac30 212 I’m taking care of doesn’t seem to like neck pickups very much.

AC30 1x12 will be more portable, that's for sure!
