Re: Orange TH100??? Got it home and it works, always a plus. Just played straight into with my epi SG400 with SD Iommi/59n combo and there's way more range of sounds than I expected from Sabbath to modern metal with just the shape knob and some piano like cleans and that was thru a G12T-75...

So I just agreed to meet a guy and pick up a TH100 tomorrow (the price seemed too good to turn down) It sounds pretty good in the videos I've watched and I've almost jumped on a OR15 a few times for close to the price of this TH100 so I'm thinking if I don't like I can flip it. Anyone out there...

I'm loving the JB in the bridge of the guitar but feel like it needs something hotter than the Jazz that is currently in the neck position. The other option will be to try it in the...

So I was playing my Marshall and Mesa tonight switching between the two with an A/B pedal and after 10-20 minutes of playing both amps the Marshall quit making sound when I clicked back over to it. After trying a few things I noticed that it looks like one of the power tubes isn't lighting up. I...
