Ok....so... are you asking for opinions about buying one or...?

I'm not sure what he's asking, but I think that amp is pretty cool. Seems flexible, sounds good, looks ridiculous.

Very professional demo that. Great sounding amp too. Lot of 'Orange type' sounds there, and having a 6 way voicing switch does kind of make you think there might be some old Orange (5 way FAC switch) influence.

Also it is called the 'Orangutan'. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.

Three Monkeys? As in 'hear, see, speak no evil'? Well, the glitter looks aren't my thing, but for the rest I'd say that could be one of the best sounding blues / rock amps I've seen demoed, so I'm not going to diss it...

I agree with the orange influence. To me, it sounds most like what you would get if Fender and Orange had a baby- some funky colored versatile rock n roll amp with reverb. But with that blue color and some of the tones, I wouldnt be surprised if Orange had an affair with Vox behind Fender's back

fine sounding amp to me, and the looks don't bother me at all; i can hear through it.

Four 6v6's. You think switching the RV50 from 6v6's to EL34's had something to do with this?

It would be hard to go back to a single channel amp.

A head version might be cool. Ugly blue but that pearloid face is gorgeous. Price?

I think it looks cool. Reminds me of Magnatone amps a little.

If you don't mind paying an obscenely overpriced amount for what is essentialy a volume knob.

very nice tone

I'm not sure how an attenuator pedal can change the gain structure, EQ settings, or voicing setting on an amp. I have a pot on my guitar that will adjust the strength of the signal from the guitar. I think for this amp a footswitch to change to voicing setting would be a good idea.

I'm not asking for any opinions, I'm sharing a good sounding amp with all the amp connoisseurs around here, so that we may compare/contrast it with our own and other amps and have a lively discussion.

Great sounding amp. Agree that it looks a little weird for my taste, but many would say the same about Orange.
