Thanks for all the work, Billy!!

I'm certainly going to miss you crazy bastards, hopefully run into you all again soon!

Finally played the 140 last night... very interesting. pre-amp behaves far more like the AD50 than the AD15/30.... which are both FAR more compressed.... which actually means that the EL84 power section in the 15/30 are compressing/distorting anywhere above "3" on the knob. but yes, it's absolutely ...

I have never played a amp with tha amount of bass!

then whatever you do, DO NOT try a Thunderverb...

Still haven't dropped it off... so it sits... unplayed.... GAH!!!

aaaand it has to be converted to 110V... Has a 220/240V switch, not a 220/110. shite.

hopefully I can get it dropped off with the tech on Friday. GAH!

Neat congrats!!!!

It looks nice in white too.

How does it compare to your other ADs?
EL34 and no rectifier, right.....?

I haven't played it yet... need to get a fuse since it's setup for 220v

That's why I have a backup mantra. I tend to acquire gear in twos. Two AD30TC's; two OR80's; two Marshall JTM-45's, many backup Teles, six Strats, three Duesenberg's, etc. Only thing I don't have a backup for is my G-System, but I've been considering it... Billy, I don't think that's a Mantra... I ...

well, I sold my OR15 and PPC112, because meh. and i funneled those funds (plus a few other Benjis) into this gorgeous beast... Tom @ Hoffnine Cabs in the UK restored the shell and sent it over in absolutely bomb-proof packing... the packing materials alone are nuts! Huge A+++ for them. https://i.ibb...

Any valve/tube issue that Orange has, EVERY maker will have. the tube manufacturers are going to drive that through their QC and their build process. Of the 6 Orange tube amps I've had (still have 5 of them!) the only two that have had ANY issues are the two that have been used and banged around the...

those are INSANE!!!!! WANT!

I loved my avatar contemporary 412, X-pattern V30s and G12Hs... AWESOME combo.

interestingly it does NOT play as nicely with the AD50...

I know that in theory, it's just a fuse swap and set the switch to 120V, but has anyone has any issues with bringing a Euro/UK spec AD-series amp to the US?

Scored a used Fur Coat locally for (substantial savings over Reverb $$$). The AD30 is in the shop, so dunno how that's going to work out yet, but it definitely gets along with AD50!

I'm learning it still, but I dig it so far.

This is mine:

Fur Coat > (tuner) > Kong > two-stroke

works great that way.
