...at my local shop. They stock the full line of Orange heads, combos and cabs. The OR50 is a new arrival and I was anxious to crank it up. I am an Orange amp fan and have owned an R30 and currently use an RV50 as one of my main amps. The OR50 has the old-school Orange brattiness in spades. I played...

"Mesa" and "microphonic" go together like bread and butter! I have a Mesa head that howls at the moon when cranked if I put the wrong tubes in it. Don't worry, I'm pretty sure that's what your problem is. I had to go through several tubes to find a set that would behave at high gain and volume setti...

Wow, that's a great score. Congrats. I'll share a similar story: I had a friend who called me a couple of years ago. He was emptying a house after a tenant left and he said there was a "little white box that says Fender on it." Knowing I was a musician, he had called to ask if I wanted it. I was exc...

Can you say more?;)

Like, have you played an OD9 before the mods? If so, what difference do you hear afterward? Maybe you can give us a review after you heat it up for awhile.

Anyway, great score!

I have a stock OD9 and I really like it.

I have had great experiences with placing a boost in the fx loop of Marshall JMP, Orange RV50 and a couple of Mesa amps. They sound bigger and cleaner there than in front. <i>Much</i> bigger, and not necessarily clean. In other words, exponentially less additional distortion when used in the loop. Y...

Blistic, Having owned several Mesas and Oranges I can certainly understand where you're coming from. I have rarely fallen in love with an amp's voice the way I have with my RV50. There are a few Mesas which will do the smooth liquidy lead thing very nicely too(I have one of them). Funny you mentione...

So....where on earth ARE they? I cannot find a store anywhere that has any in stock. Matter of fact, no one ever seems to have any. Get busy, Orange.

I owned a Rocker 30 for a few weeks, then an RV50 head arrived at my local store, and I brought it home to try out. I took the Rocker 30 back the next morning, paid the difference and have not looked back. I loved the R30, but my God I can't imagine how I've gone all these years without an RV50.
