Re: CR60C: fizziness on note decay

My CR60C does it too. It’s an unwanted artefact of Op Amp distortion, especially noticeable when pushing them without clipping diodes interacting. The more clipping dialled in, the less noticeable it becomes because the artefact is effectively clipped out of the signal. It’s especially noticeable on...

Re: New amp to pair with OR15

I don’t have much to add other than when I got the Orange bug and wanted more to compliment my OR15 I purchased a Micro Terror (as cheap as a good quality pedal and sounds awesome) and a CR60C. I can’t say enough positive about the CR60C; simple (not crowded with unwanted digital effects), great sou...

Re: AD30TC plus Vintage 30s = crap sound to my ears!!!

V30s are a funny animal. They seem to either be loved or hated. I’ve read so many complaints about being spikey. When I purchased my Micro Terror, I tested it through a Hughes and Kettner TM 112 cab, fitted with a 16 Ohm V30, and although I wasn’t in the market for a 1 X 12” cab I purchased it (I wa...

Re: Effects Loop and Pedals - Questions

With my Orange amps, a CR60 (may be different because it’s solid state) and OR15, I have no concerns. As far as I’m concerned the loop is designed for effects of whatever design and it does the job. I have a Marshall Vintage Modern with a decibel selector either for stomp boxes or rack mounted effec...

Re: New Member, New OR15

I’ve had mine for a few months now and love it. The distortion is awesome but, believe it or not, I tend to use it more for cleans. Being playing Fender cleans for years so Orange clean is a nice tasty change. The effects loop is awesome sounding too but tends to be sensitive to artefact noises prod...

The VFE Old School is, well, old school. Certainly covers what you are describing.

Re: Best bang for buck pedals

I had one Behringer pedal, a noise gate (can’t remember the name or model number). It was terrible, kept on fading in and out and made some bad static noises. I ended up dumping it in a bin because it was so cheap. It left a bad taste with the brand and I’ll never buy one of their pedals again.

Re: Micro Terror & the Buzz Train

I had a similar problem. Turned out it was the environmentally friendly light globe in the overhead light, the ones like a mini, curled up fluoro tube. It induces noise even when using humbuckers or RWRP single coils with shielding. I now use a lamp with a baby filament bulb in it, problem solved. I...

Re: #4 Jim Root Terror effects loop question

The OR15 has a similar problem and is the effects loop is the same circuit as the Jim Root I believe. My OR15 is very sensitive to pedal noise. Buffered pedals can be heard giving different varieties of hiss depending on the pedal. Modulation pedals give sweeping, hissing sounds. Don’t matter if the...

Re: Orange Sighting / King's X!

Realmrocks - when I’m lazy I plug straight in and set the balance between the clean and dirt channels and flip between them as desired. If I feel like putting in effort I use one of a myriad of distortion or overdrive pedals in front of it and set to taste. It gives me the flexibility of a “three c...

Re: Micro Terror questions

I have a Micro Terror and use an 8 Ohm PPC108 for late night playing. Contrary to what was stated above it isn’t boxy or thin sounding IMO. It does the job well at low volumes and is actually a good match for the Micro Terror, but obviously is limited due to being an 8” speaker. For louder I plug it...

Re: OR15 noise!!! HELP NEEDED

OR15 noise as the OP describes appears to be normal. In fact all my valve amps have varying levels of noise. In the case of my OR15 I'm confident valves are the problem but it's not annoying, is not affected by the gain or volume knobs so I'll do something about it when it comes time to change tubes...

Re: Orange Sighting / King's X!

Awesome. I have a CR60C and since adding it to my collection I have to FORCE myself to play my Fender and Marshall amps (and I have some real classics, but reissues though). The Pro Crush amps are no fuss, simple to use, easy to tweak tone machines. I agonised for about a month as to whether I shoul...

Re: Suggestions for low volume tone...Micro terror?

I have a Micro Terror/PPC108 combo use for late night/early morning sessions when the world is asleep. Pretty darn good. If I’m using effects I tend to use a distortion pedal and use the amp clean so I don’t distort the effects. Without effects I use the distortion capability of the amp. Either work...

Re: I'm becoming a Boss Addict

My first Boss was a BF-3 purchased in 2005, which I hardly used for years because I wasn’t very impressed. The next one was an FRV-1 in 2009, which I am impressed with and use it regularly. Then last year I suddenly got a bug, not sure exactly when or why, and my Boss pedal collection exploded to 13...
