Because Orange hog the lower mids, you will cut through any mix. Most other amps don't really deal with lower mids, and most bass players EQ them out (because those bass players are retarded). I have never had to push my AD30 or Rocker 30 past 9 o'clock in practice or gigs. ditto - my R30 combo's v...

they are toys - really cool toys, but toys none-the-less

of course, if you have the $$$ to burn ...............

C30 is a good amp - had one for a 'leave at the practice space amp' a while ago - ended up selling it - R30 combo rules the roost, now

ditto on the Rocker's clean channel having enough juice - my drummer and bassist are animals and the clean at 3 - 4 o'clock gets thru, no problem when I first got the amp and played it at home alone, I didn't think it would do the trick - but it does, a-la-plenty! maybe it's the hot h-buckers in my ...

I tried rechargables - they die without any warning - with regular batteries the output slowly decreases, so I can always finish the set

My Tele and twin won't feedback easily at all - even if I'm right next to the speakers it'll only come on slowly. So those parts where I want to swell-in to feedback, or just ring a chord and leave it ringing, i stamp on a Boss SD1 - feedback starts easily and I can stamp it off right as I start pl...

also, my #1 guitar is a LP Classic - pretty much a Standard with hotter pickups - but my stock '67 Tele does it too - maybe I have to bump up the gain a hair

my R30 gives out that sweeeeeeeet feedback with gain at 1 o'clock and volume pretty much anywhere - usually from 9 - 10 o'clock

I use a Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive to get into super howling screaming feedback territory also

Rocker 30 Combo owner here - It probably is the last amp I'll ever buy - very amazing the clean channel, at about 2 o'clock, is glorious - sometimes I forget that it's not the dirty channel I generally use the dirty channel - volume at 10 o'clock, gain at 1 -2 o'clock I usually switch to the clean c...

I sold my AD30SC when I played thru a R30 - not that he AD isn't amazing - it is - it's just that IMHO the R30 is amazinger

90% of our shows are mic'd thru big PA's - little, medium or big venues, the R30 shines like nobodies business

yes

hmm, possibly. maybe because it's just one of them. usually folks try pairing Oranges with the Marshall 1960 cabs that come loaded with the G12T75s. actually, i can't recall anyone trying it in a 112 combo. very interesting...glad you like it. does it sound good live? live is where it really shines -

yup - sweet as sugar, too

the red tolex was pretty shabby but that didn't stop a bidding war

go figure

5 years ago I sold a '69 Marshall 4X12 cab in red - I got $2500 for it

I'm playing an old '50's LP Junior thru it

maybe the guitar>amp>speaker combination is the trick
