Here's a video from our first official gig last Saturday. I used my new Orange OR15, and oh boy, does it do Sabbath well.
Good job... Congrats...
With an SG, everytime you get Sabbath sound![]()
Very cool! Interesting, as Tony really hated Orange amps. He used them on a TV show because the company sponsored the show and every band on the show had to use them, but none of the bands liked 'em back then (modern ones sound better). He always preferred Laneys in the 70s.
Thanks!
Yeah, that OR-15 really doesn't sound like any Orange Tony would have encountered...it's more Marshally and bright. He used a Laney LA100BL head at first, and they had a nice, bright clean tone. He punched them up with a treble booster to get them where he wanted. The OR15 does a pretty good job. It's hands-down the best OD I've had in an amp.
Gunna play devil's advocate here (it IS Sabbath after all):
Your bass player needs to learn the ****ing songs. I can get over using the pick (especially as he's picking high up) but damn, so many lines missing or just wrong. Real shame cause the rest of you sound great.
Yeah, he kinda glosses over some of the details, for sure. He made it into his 60s without playing any Sabbath, and it's still new to him.
haha there are ppl who made it in their 60s playing ONLY Sabbath![]()
