Hey guys,
I have a few questions regarding my Vox AC15 and, in general, what adding an additional speaker will do.
I'm having a tiny bit of trouble keeping up with my band during practice. I really like the time I get with my AC15 at lower levels, but in order to hear myself, I really need to crank up the volume, leading to a crunchy, overdriven tone (when I want a clean tone).
My question is, how low can my amp's be when mic'd in a live setting? Or, basically, should I pony up and get the AC30 instead of the AC15?
My next question is regarding wattage and volume. If I were to add another speaker (the AC15 currently has a 1x12 Celestion Greenback) will the volume be much louder at a lower volume level on my amp with the additional speaker?
If so, I want to make sure that I understand what I'm doing. There is a switch on the back of the AC15 for 8 ohm sand 16 ohms. If the AC15 is 16 ohms and the extension cabinet speaker is also 16 ohms, would I set the switch to 8 ohms?
Sorry if these are beginner questions, but all answers are greatly appreciated.
