Re: OR 120 Mods (MV/FX Loop/Standby)

Huh… what is so uncool about standby switch??? I don't need it, my tubes do! :wink: I guess no drilling needed here… FX loop in Echo send/return. Standby switch in power switch, like the new ones. 2 footswitches in slave out jack… thats it. No drilling, completely reversible. Anyhow… I love this amp...

OR 120 Mods (MV/FX Loop/Standby)

Hi! (sorry if this was already covered in different topics but I really can't find all at one place) For one month I'm a very proud owner of 73 or120. This thing is absolutely incredible. It inspires me every day I play it and It already changed the way I play and think. This is a big plus for me… I...

Re: New Orange Or120 Owner, my first Orange!

Gladmarr you are right… Not that Orange and Ampeg sound similar, but their controls act in the same way. They are not effecting each other. And v4 or vt22 are actually 120 watters. But I ensure you that or120 has much more power! It can handle loads of gain, yet it satays sable and it don't collapse...

Re: New Orange Or120 Owner, my first Orange!

Sorry, yeah it is 4x12. It is very cool cab, but since I need another 4x12 to play live (as I said, this is very loud band) I'm thinking of getting rid of it and get something more British style. Anyhow, the speakers inside (emi) are not for me. Maybe I should try to put 2 celestials in and se what ...

Re: New Orange Or120 Owner, my first Orange!

My cab is Ampeg v4 loaded with eminence (I don't know the model) vintage from 78 with square magnet. They sound powerful in the bass spectrum and nice presence/highs, but lack of middle frequencies. I tried V30 and they sound more mid and more power, but somehow I don't like them on their own. I lik...

Re: New Orange Or120 Owner, my first Orange!

Well… it is a beast! I just can't believe the overall headroom this amp has! F.A.C. is great, I really dig it. But somehow, you can't get rid of high frequencies… If I turn the treble and H.F. Drive all the way dow, I still get very pricing high freq fuzz tones with my fuzz boxes. I know, that or120...

Re: New Orange Or120 Owner, my first Orange!

Yesterday, I finally got my hand on my OR! Wow… as I suspected this thing is BRIGHT!!!! And LOUD as hell! And most important GREAT! :mrgreen: Fist thing I had to do was changing the whole fuzz/dist/OD setup. Because is so bright, I can't use few of my fuzz boxes (the one without tone or filter contr...

Re: New Orange Or120 Owner, my first Orange!

Ok, the amp is almost ready to rock, except there is a 3 second noise when you power it up. And transformer is sometimes doing weird noise, looks like one element is dry. Do you guys have any idea what could it be? Otherwise my tech says that is awesome. Now I really can't wait any longer! Haha… Lik...

Re: New Orange Or120 Owner, my first Orange!

Yeah, good idea. But you have to do something to the finish to. I know… I would newer make my guitar relic or something, but in this case… Well, I think new corner would stand out too much, and I love the way the head looks. I did some more cleaning on it. It was still too dirty.

Re: New Orange Or120 Owner, my first Orange!

Huh… good news. My tech reports: Transformers are original and in good working order! Jej! Little rusty but great. All the caps and stuff has to be changed, all original. Tubes are on the edge of blowing, haha… The guy who sold me this beast told me that they are 80%. Bulll…. Thighs to change: Fuzz ...

Re: New Orange Or120 Owner, my first Orange!

Indeed, I will not complicate. I send my tech all the info that you guys helped me with. But my tech turns out to be a long time vintage Orange maintainer and he knows this amp very well. This is good news for me. I usually trust my tech guy, but I think it is great if het really knows what he is do...

Re: New Orange Or120 Owner, my first Orange!

OrangePaul: Imagine that you are driving your amp at full volume. Everything is at its limits. So I would assume that if I engage the delay pedal, it will distort in a dissonant manner. It really depends on the quality of this dissonance. Maybe I get a new great sound that I could not live anymore w...

Re: New Orange Or120 Owner, my first Orange!

Yeah… lots of work to do.

But do you guys think that this is all stock elements? Just to say to the tech to stay as close as possible to the original specs.
