C-15
A half-wattage, head-only version of the C-30, offering the same dual-channel tone in a more portable package.
About this amp
The C-15 delivers the C-30’s dual-channel tonal character at lower volume in a compact head. Channel two runs a high-gain EF86 pentode through a six-position rotary tone switch, and a shared master volume governs both channels, fed by an EL84 power pair and an effects loop.
