while i'm sure this is a very biased forum to ask this question on, i am a fan of orange amps and figured it would be filled with like minded individuals. at any rate, i'm the previous owner of an orange ad30 amp, and happy with its performance but had to sell it to have some money for a tour that i...

yea, i've been lightly using mine as handles as well. they are, i'm quite sure, welded into the chasis up front on the bottom and the top goes back in and welds into the top of the chasis in the back - so they should be VERY solid. I do know that Matamp abandoned the rugged construction of these han...

yea - bclaire that was my first thought - and i did notice one sitting a bit sideways, thought it might be it, but it seems to be lighting up just fine, i'll look into it a bit more closely. the tone i can get is not terrible, after a bit of tweaking - but it took forever to get decent tone. but the...

yea, speakers in cabinet are in great working order - i just sold my jcm 2000 dsl100 that sat on top of it not a month or two ago and it sounded superb. i love the cab's tone. as far as tweaking eq's with drive and vol. i've done a lot of that, and while i can get a decent tone - there is no definit...

the guitar i used at the store was not mine, but another SG - the closest match they had at the store. I did play through an orange 2x12 at the store, but it just had celestions in it, while mine has v30's so i expected more of what i liked out of the amp. impedence matches up fine, don't have a sel...

Finally got my Orange AD30H in the other day and I am totally disappointed. Its not at all as I remember it in the store. It was very creamy and full and all notes shone through clearly. Now its just a mess, can't make out any distinction. I'm playing it with a Gibson SG through a Marshall 4x12 with...

i must step in and vouch for peavey here. i've had much bass equipment and believe that it to be very good for its price. i've had ampeg, galien krueger, and hartke setups. i think peavey was my second favorite bass amp of choice, second only to my swr setup - not working man series, i'm not fond of...

ok heres a more accurate portrayal. the twin channel, to me, sounded more like a less flavored amp - like a class ab styled tone. not as thick and creamy and warm. some people may prefer that sound - just crunch. the sound is thinner. but by all other aspects, the single channel has more of a class ...

i vote single channel all the way. the sound is much much better. i am fearful of the versatility i will lose, as i just bought one myself. but the sound was signifigantly better. both the clean and crunch settings sounded better on the single channel. so i'm going to have to figure something out to...

yea, can't say i've ever had a manual with any amp i've ever bought. just kinda wanted whatever they may have to go with the amp as an ownership thing. i'm proud of my new purchase! which, they will be shipping out tomorrow, so i didn't have to pay state tax haha. i'll be sure to take a couple of pi...

peter6toy - no whining, i assure you. so please read more closely before making assumptions. i know that myself, and i'm quite sure most of us here, do not need a manual to operate an orange - or any other amplifier for that matter. however, if there was one that was supposed to come with it - then ...

no paperwork does not bother me, no i don't need a manual. however, i wanted to find out if they do come with any, and if they did, then i wanted it, since they don't, no worries. and orange amps do come with a warranty - your shop should honor it - if not - register online (at this site no less). t...
