Re: Tubes !!

No source either, and I just paid $100.00 US for a matched and tested pair of Russian EL84 tubes for my Dark Terror. I don't spend money on pedals, but I keep good quality tubes in my Orange Dark Terror. Tube prices from my source (Canada) have steadily risen even before the eastern European conflic...

Daek Terror Effects Loop Tube

I have a Jan-Phillips 12at7 powering the effects loop of my Dark Terror. About how long would a new tube for that slot last? Does it get as much stress as a preamp tube and what would be a sign that it should be replaced?

Re: Orange Amp Power Tube Usage

Many thanks for the answers and advice. Jondog and Billy C. It’s a little bit like putting a variac on the power supply, like Eddie Van Halen did. The tubes run at a lower voltage and you get a little more compression happening. Personally I never liked the 7 watt setting on the Tiny Terror, I pref...

Orange Amp Power Tube Usage

Posted this here rather than “technical” side due to more eyes perhaps seeing this question. Orange makes a number for EL84 based amps where wattage is selectable between 15 and 7 watts. Generally, these are of the popular “lunchbox” sized amps. When switching from 15 watts to 7, do both EL84 tube s...

Re: Orange Amps Power Supply

Well, it happened again yesterday when I could find no good tone from my Dark Terror when using my my Les Paul!? No amount of knob twisting between amp and guitar produced anything near the desired tone that was present just two days before! I am speaking of just guitar straight in with a delay set ...

Re: Orange Amps Power Supply

I find this happens from time to time as well. I have a Furman rack mount power conditioner with a voltage readout so I can tell what is happening but sometimes it just happens for no discernible reason. I know this isn't really helpful but at least you're not alone.... :mrgreen: Thanks. It is help...

Orange Amps Power Supply

Do any of the Orange amps currently in production have regulated power supplies? At times, my Dark Terror sounds a bit dull and subdued in the higher frequencies. Other times, those frequencies are present and accounted for. I know that when tubes reach their proper operating temperature and speaker...

AD30 Tone From Other Oranges?

I've been reading up on the vintage style tones obtainable from the single channel AD30H; as well as the twin channel version. For AD30 owners: Are there other Orange amps (I own a Dark Terror) that would do a fair imitation of an AD30 30-watt amp? From what I read, the AD30 is its own thing with an...

Re: Sad.....Day's of Yore

I do miss the activity I once saw on this forum. The FB User's Group has the occasional helpful comment, but even those are sparse, so I don't check there very often. In the past, when it came to getting help on questions about Orange products, this forum served me well in my gaining knowledge of te...

Re: questions not been answered !

I had this happen with an Orange Dark Terror. it turned out that my vendor found a fuse blew taking a tube or two out. They fixed it, but since the tubes were past warranty, I had to spend more than I wanted to in getting it fixed. Today the amp works just fine. If your amp is new and under warranty...

Re: Orange Amp choice for replace th30

I would hang onto the TH30. I've read more than a few posts on the net that are from “former” owners of that amp, and wishing they had not got rid of theirs'. The Rocker Terror 15 would cut the weight down, bu there may come a time when you would really appreciate that 30 watts on the amp you now ha...
