Retro Vibes and Smooth Tones:
The New CM15R & CM30R Combo Amplifiers

July 23, 2024

Introducing two new colorways for our popular CM Series of combo amplifiers, with the CM15R and CM30R both now available with either Pastel Green or White Sand housing.

The new pastel color schemes conjure up a healthy dose of Mid-Century Modern cool, which is elevated by the chromed metal corners, classic black carrying handle, and easily legible black-and-aged white control panel. The aesthetic is completed with an effortlessly classy black-and-tan grill cloth and a smart black-and-white Cort logo in the top-center. 

These handsome looking amps both have compact footprints and total weights manageable for players of all statures, while not skimping one bit on power and volume. The CM15R and CM30R generate 15W R.M.S. and 30W R.M.S. through Custom 8” and 10” speakers, respectively. These pairings generate plenty of volume, while remaining responsive and sharp. Tight highs and bass can be pushed to serious bite when driven to overtone ranges.

The control panel requires no advanced research for optimized operation: a single input jack feeds era-appropriate chicken head knobs for Gain, Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass, and Reverb, and a Master Volume on the CM30R. Channel Select buttons allow for a broad range of sonic possibilities, appropriate to a myriad of styles. Both amps can be easily dialed in with the traditional EQ controls that behave in a reassuringly predictable manner. Further enhancing the play-along experience, both amplifiers are equipped with an auxiliary input and headphone output. The onboard digital reverb allows the player to add lush ambience ranging from a small room to large concert hall. On the rear panel, there’s a fixed impedance output jack and operational metrics, warnings, and instructions.

The CM30R takes all the above to an even higher level with features including Bluetooth and a Crunch. Bluetooth capability enables guitarists to play along with their favorite tracks as well as their own in-progress recording projects. The Crunch push button gives the amp that one extralevel of tone that every player seeks making the CM30R the complete package.
