Re: rockerverb 100w head channel foot switch popping!

I don't think it's normal, but it's happened to me a few times recently. It had never happened before since i got my Rockerverb, but a couple of weeks back it first got me whilst playing at home. I think i have some wiring problems in my house though as i get lots of odd noises at home that i never ...

Re: Gibson Les Paul Custom.

Hmmm... It's not thaaat bad. It gives me a bit of an odd feeling in my stomach though. I agree that it's nicer with chrome, gold can look really bad on some models. I much prefer Ebony but the Maple isn't as bad as i'd imagined, i find any light fretboards look out of place on most Gibsons. I think ...

Re: Picking an Orange

Rockerverb! There's more tonal difference between the older and newer models, But even if you got a MKII and your guitarist has the MKII 100 that amp is so versatile that there are near infinite options for your tone. The dirty channel will do basically anything, although it isn't that thick soundin...

Re: Rockerverb with one 8 ohm cab? Bad idea?

It is perfectly fine to use one 8-ohm cab with the RV50. The outputs are labeled for total impedance, so it doesn't matter how you get to 8 ohms, whether it's by connecting two 16-ohm cabs or one 8-ohm cab. That Framus sounds like an insane deal - buy it now! Thanks, i just downloaded the RV manual...

Rockerverb with one 8 ohm cab? Bad idea?

Hi, I think this is probably a stupid question, but can you use just one 8ohm output on a Rockerverb mkII? I am assuming this amp has to be matched to 16 ohms no matter what, so the 8s are there purely for connecting to two cabs. I need a 2x12 and can get a nice Framus 2x12 for £100, which is a barg...

Re: Zombie Hospital Jazz Attack (Rockerverb 100 MKII)

I'd say you can. Despite never actually seeing the effects of jazz on the undead, i have up to this point never been attacked by zombies of any kind, and i think it is plausible that the reason for this is the fact that i play lots of loud and strange jazz. It can't be coincidence or luck, and zombi...

Zombie Hospital Jazz Attack (Rockerverb 100 MKII)

These recordings aren't great. In fact, they should be stunning but the unbelievably clear and detailed AKG C414B condenser i used was on a slightly unstable stand and it seems i must have hit it with the head of my Vo at the start of the jam and knocked it by an inch or so towards the cab, resultin...

Re: Rockerverb 50 MKII on the way.

Beautiful amps. From what i've heard the 50s seem a little bit warmer, from the valves being driven slightly harder i expect. I went for the 100 as i need the volume and headroom but there isn't a great jump really and i think the 50s sound more like the older Oranges i've heard (very slightly). You...

Re: The Society

Cool, thanks for the replies. I haven't been online for a while to read them. Looks like a fairly versatile bunch already, i didn't realise Orange appealed so much to the Punk musicians, but i guess that's a genre i never pay attention to these days. I do like some Dead Kennedys though, they seemed ...

The Society

Hello all. Seems i got off on the wrong foot with some carelessly worded posts and accidentally caused some offence. So in an attempt to make friends rather than enemies, and just out of interest, i thought i'd start a topic to talk about the diverse (maybe) styles and tastes of Orange users. The Or...

Re: What you record isn't what you hear

Maybe you don't believe in cutting frequencies but I challenge you to learn about common high pass and low pass filtering standards and also EQ notching and give it a try. Your mixes will sound better, clearer and have more punch. Room sound is something you should have control over IMO. You will f...

Re: What you record isn't what you hear

totally disagree with whoever said that mids aren't all you need in a recording. if you don't cut bass (and maybe some treble) from your setup, surely the engineer is going to do it later on... ...and yes, we cut bass and treble because after recording, we found it didn't sit too well in the mix . ...

Yeah, this is why God invented the truss rod. If your set-up goes, set it up again. Anyone can do it with a steady hand and patience!
