Orange Amps?!?!?

[hermetico]

Re: Orange Amps?!?!?

It's all comparatively speaking. From what I heard, the Orange cleans are nicer than what I can get from my VHT or a DSL. I do love cleans, but I'm a huge overdriven rocker which was one of the reason's i'm looking at Orange.

Hmmm, you better think on swap your tubes!!

The Orange Rockerverb 50 is a good amp but, I don't think it can be better for a rocker than a DSL!!!!. The DSL can sound better at lower volumes than the Orange. This I know by heart, since I have a Marshall 1923C 85th anniversary combo, that is, more or less a DSL 50.
Nothing rocks as a Marshall!. Forget it!.

I'm basically using the classic/clean channel and, shaping the tone with some pedals in front. DSL cleans are surpresively good for a Marshall, BTW!. But, don't forget to switch off that "depth" switch!.

Things that work awesome, in front:

Good overdrive: my preferred one is Wampler's Euphoria
Good distortion: my preferred one is Wampler's Sovereign
Plexiratization: Wampler's Plexi Drive, just a touch to make your DSL to sound as a JTM45 or a 1959.
THE TOUCH: Xotic EP Booster, just before your delay, just a touch.
Good delay: my preferred one is Wampler's Faux Tape Echo.

Hear how this sounds (forget my playing, just hear the sound):



Did you noticed that in this more recent video the Rockerverb went out?.
LOL

I'm not a fan of the DSL. I've owned a few.

The Orange crunch is closer to the style of music I will be playing.

Re: Orange Amps?!?!?

Which Orange would be right for me?

I'm starting a new band. The guitarist is more blues/classic rock orientated and I'm more 90s rock, so our sound will be a cross between. Think Black Keys meets Chili Peppers meets early 90s (athenauem, collective soul, gin blossoms ) meets 80s gnr.

None. No Orange for your new band.
Don't get orange.
It will not fly with that singer or style.

Re: Orange Amps?!?!?

Am I the only one thinking that maybe what he wants is NOT an Orange?

Compromises everywhere re: his goals.

One thing comes immediately to mind: Bogner Shiva.

Yeah, dude, me too.

Oops..I misread that.

And don't get orange.

Re: Orange Amps?!?!?

lol! orange has been around since the 1970s but ya most did not use orange until the last 10 years; really the tiny terror put em on the map and that was 6 years ago!

so it is true that chili peppers and those 90s bands are not going to be using orange amps I do know that whatever genre or band, as long as it is rock or heavy rock, my answer is orange! haha my convictions lie with orange

I've owned the Thunderverb, Rockerverb, Tiny Terror and own the Jim Root Terror.

All have the same basic Orange tone. It's thick, vintage-meets-modern with plenty of gain, perfect for stoner rock type stuff. It's a great tone, but not a chimey clean or very cutting tone. More thick, wooly and heavy.

This was my impression too. I originally started playing them because I'm into sludgy guitar tones, and aside from them being the choice of trendy hipsters for awhile the only guys I still see using them are dudes in sub-genres that are known for their sludgy guitars.

I eventually switched back to a Dual Rectifier as it suited my playing style better. I'd like to get my hands on an AD30R some day.

I guess I'll say it again.

The Bogner Shiva fits the description of what you're looking for so accurately you might as well have asked "What amp sounds like a Bogner Shiva?"

Two channels- beautiful lush cleans and a big, wide, full-sounding drive channel that falls somewhere short of pure metal but is perfectly voiced for rock.

Just saying.

Re: Orange Amps?!?!?

And the 20th actually covers metal pretty well.
I've had the 20th for a few weeks, and it's probably the best amp I've ever used.
