I'm looking to buy a new Orange head and I was wondering what kind of music you guys play and with what head. Thanks.

I'm looking for an amp that can do everything from blues to metal. Which Orange do you think would fit me best?

I use a Rocker or TT. I play classic rock ala Steely Dan, Santana, Allman Bros. type stuff.

tt... and it doesnt do metal well as u cant scoop mids too grand!.. the tone knob is more like a bright/dark kinda thing, rather than a selectable band boost/cut! might hinder u for metal or other tone shapeing!

i think the rv50 is proberbly the most versatile.. from what others have said..

I have the TT and an AD15, and play blues and rock. These both do great at for this. Neither will do metal.
Rockerverb or thunderverb could be the most likely to suit IMO.

I can play everything from pop to punk to pretty hard rock on my Rocker 30. I don't like it for metal though, as much as I love the Orange sound I find that they don't have quite a tight enough bottom end so to speak. They're much more loose sounding.

I normally play ambient/solo electirc guitar, seldom heavy, mostly clean guitars. I use the ad-30htc and 2x12/4x12 cabs. I also can beef up the sound though, play lots of overdriven and heavy styles.

Punk...from the 70's. The AD does it fantastically well.


So does the Crush at home. My little 15R sounded MUCH better than a Peavey 30 I used the other day.

I have an RV50. It covers just about everything, but it isn't going to do "metal" very well. Yeah, it gets very heavy and dark - but not in a really really scooped metal way. Your Stiletto will get you a lot closer.

All types of music, Blues, Jazz, Rock, Country, and recently been learning
some bluegrass for Clay...use Tiny Terror for all of it. Can get really nasty
with the BBE Crusher. ( For Jazz I normally use my Rivera M60), but a low volumes
the TT does great.
