Re: incoming amp score of the century, watch this space...

haha it's worth getting a good mic for - for all i know it might need a full retube, service and bias! at this stage, don't care :)

from what i've read, someone's gotten hold of a JMP and said 'lets make it into a twin'.. and this is the result :D

it's gonna be a looong week lol

yeah, true.

To be fair, the old stuff really does have it's own sound. They are near-Hiwatt bulletproof and incredibly easy to service.

I remember when you couldn't give away Orange amps. A pics-only head sat in the shop I hung out in as a kid for about US$250 and didn't move for years. Back then (when racks were king) a plexi would draw a crowd and a decent price, but Oranges were considered kitsch curios.

i've been looking at a tiny terror for ages, and i pick up this instead..

i know, the current scene love them - but i love the 'old oasis' sound.. that and i was really sick of the DSL401, fizzy, overgained, just.. a different league!

sorry rich! it is near where my parents live though, i guess the planets aligned for me here!

I love old Oranges. They get fuzzy when cranked, which is why dudes who liked marshalls back in the day didn't dig Oranges, but I think that's a cool sound. I also think that people nowadays are more interested in trying different sounds outside the classic marshall od and fender/vox clean.

Modern Orange designs are a different matter. I think there's a lot of character dilution and fashion-oriented marketing going on there. But even then they still make a decent amp.

You're gonna use that thing for an 'early oasis' sound?

cuz 120 watt orange 2x12 is just begging for an Orange 4x12 and some heavy heavy rock.

:cool2::cool3: score, bro.

NEW STUFF ROCKS!

(in before Hoss ;) )

that too - i have an ibanez 7621 (hardtail 7) sitting at home that wants to make sweet love with this thing :naughty:

i've heard a few comparisons to the ampeg v4 and 1959 bassman now as well.. im tempted to chat to a good amp tech about a half power switch, as 120w might be over-over-over kill!

how cool would the orange 2x12 look under this bad boy though.. 4x12 would cost more than the amp! :D
