I love the OR50 tone. Oddly, despite being a bit louder than the AD30, i don't feel quite as present in the mix, at least not so far. But the cleanliness of the AD30 was a bit of an issue, and I don't like to rely on pedals for the dirt. Everything is a compromise and the 50 is the sound that's mos...

Oh. I see. Well, everything is a compromise at best, I suppose. Truth is I like my amp sound for a bit, then don't, and back and forth. I have tried so many amps, and can't say that I have ever been completely satisfied with anything that I have played for too long, but the amp I have and always co...

I'd love one too...twin channel, very similar to the Or50 plus power scaling and HF knob .....

Who knows what Orange is thinking .

I only need one channel... but similar to the 50 in every other way...

Any chance of an OR30?

Mid sized brother to the OR15 & OR50??

I'll take one (or two!) please!

I guess this is the 40th Anniversary model. Anyway, to conclude the story, I tried the OR50 out at practice and it took literally 5 seconds for it to leave the other amps in the dust. I didn't like the TH30 at all. I loved the AD30 but the gain flavor of the 50 is perfectly suited to what we're doin...

You need an OR100. Switchable between 100, 70, 50 and 30W. Sounds similar to the OR15 though fuller and beefier. It's discontinued so you have to get one on the used market. Oh, no. Not another candidate. Doesn't the OR50 sound like the 15? Kinda? Same ballpark? I have one sitting here, can't try i...

Can anybody discuss the Or50 vs AD30?

Is the 50 way freaking louder? Or are they fairly close in volume?

I kept moving em around. I wound up the TH30 almost all the way, on full power, with the gain just past noon. It was too quiet at half power, and the shape knob in the middle made the guitar just disappear. But turning the shape to about 3 o'clock made it cut. I could see if you wanted a pile of po...

Nice! Keep us updated! How high were you running the master volumes on the 30W amps? I kept moving em around. I wound up the TH30 almost all the way, on full power, with the gain just past noon. It was too quiet at half power, and the shape knob in the middle made the guitar just disappear. But tur...

Well, I tried both the AD30 and the TH30 at rehearsal last night, and first of all, it was amazing with EITHER amp how much better we sounded all around with the extra wattage. Bass player has brought along a 215 (in lieu of the 410s he'd been using) and synth player was able to turn up... everythin...

Hm.

Well, I'm about to test a TH30 vs an AD30 at practice. The winner of this round faces an OR50 for this weekend. The losers get returned. If they all get returned, I'll probably just get another OR15! Run 'em in stereo... or maybe an Phaez AFD!

I am not a fan of the OR15 into a 412... I don't think it has the balls to really keep everything tight, I thought it was soggy/mushy. when I had it running into a 212 (actually just one half of a stereo 412, but samesies...) it was WAY more responsive and the articulation came back. I have several...

Have you thought about just getting a second OR15 and running each into its own 4x12?

Would that be louder than one OR15 into two cabs?

That's something I don't understand, really, is distribution of wattage over multiple speaker cabs.

Cuz I'll totally do that if it will be.

It's the newer one. So do you guys think the AD30 will sound MORE like my OR15 tone wise than the OR 50 or CS 50? Cuz that's ultimately what I'm looking for: same tone, more volume. The OR15 has more gain than the AD30. But both amps have cathode biased EL-84's, and TMB without Presence control. It...
