Nope 'cubic centermeters'. It means it's a metric amp.
Basically means you have to play everything in 2/4 or 4/4.
Where as if it was "ci" (imperial) you could use 7/4 or 9/16 or other odd-ball time sigs.
Ummm....

Hey! Where's angry_young_poet when you need him....

The CC's are Consistently Capable with any pedals in front. I use a Green Machine and the G2D succesfully with mine....

I'm surprised anyone puts a pedal in front.... wouldn't the extra strain make them fail even earlier? YMMV
Its not enough that we succeed, we still need others to fail

I still find it funny that people tell me 34s and 84s give you harsh sounds. An AC30 and a plexis breakup are very different, but both very smooth. Cranking some 6L6 amps like a vibrolux or a deluxe reverb gives me a VERY harsh and bright overdrive

In summary, everyone needs more pedals. Unless you're packing chorus. And then running it through a midi router system. CD, I'm looking at you...

all the harsh comments are none to subtle digs at our dearly departed friend. 1969. or whatever...

Bearing in mind we all own el84 amps... :P
