Go to www.watfordvalves.com, give them a call, I have bought valves for my orange and 2 marshalls and the change has been notable (for the better). This guy really knows his stuff, and they have a massive selection from low gain / big headroom to stupid gain... Well worth a few quid!! Live and kickin'

I have an AD15/10 and the logo is definitely NOT a sticker, (It is number 15 off the production line though so it goes back a bit..) and things have a habit of getting cheaper in a world of profit margins...!!

The BOSS OD2 is weak as an OD or distortion pedal, but works great with my JCM800 or Orange AD15 alike... and they are cheap as chips :)

If you feel around inside the amp (trace the speaker cable to where it leaves the amp casing) you will find it connects via a 1/4" jack plugged into a socket. Next to it is a second socket. I do not believe you should use them both at the same time, one is 8 ohm the second is 16 ohm (see the serial ...

Have a look at www.watfordvalves.com, They do reviews, and if in doubt phone them and have a chat...They know their stuff, and don't sell crap (but that doesn't necessarily mean it has to be expensive...

Good luck

I have done a little more research, and found that despite having a nice pair of mullard valves in the power secion i hav sovtec 12AX7WA's which on independant testing are seen to be low gain, low quality, 3.50 a shot, suitable for cheap repair tubes. I have ordered some Ruby sepcials from www.watfo...

Take a look at the seymore duncan web-site, they have produced an effects pedal that increses the output from your guitar into the amp by up to 25db. They claim it can make a single coil strat sound like it has the balls of a humbucker laiden Les Paul. It is NOT a gain stage though, just an output b...

I own an Orange AD15/10 with non stock tubes (well the EL84's are a matched pair of mullards). I know little about amp electronics, and would like to know, what the rectifier tube actually does, and how it affects the sound of the amp. The pre-amp tubes are still stock, and i would appreciate any su...

I have a AD15, and set low (full gain, 1-2 master volume) it sounds really nice even in a bedroom in comparison with most solid state amps (i will never buy one of those again). I have not yet found a location where i can really crank it up, so i cannot comment on how loud it is, only that it is (if...

I recently bought/traded for an Orange AD15, It has been re-fitted with matched Mullard tubes, they really are superb, if a little hard to get hold of nowadays :). I have read some reviews and these tubes always seem to be used as a benchmark, but very little is said about the mullards themselves. D...
