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

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.

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
