<br />So it will be going back to the shop.
Yes, the sounds are great but I have had the worst ear ache this week and I am pretty sure it is the amp.
I have even done some bandrehersals without earplugs when I had the AD and it never really bothered me. Now I am having pain from playing around alone (and I really do not think that should require earplugs) and just playing at a volume where the amp gets some character, well before the overdrive really kicks in and it is definitely a discomfort.
There may be ways to address this but seriously, if I can return the amp - no questions asked - I definitely should do that considering this is how I feel after having been the owner for 5 days.
It is like going on a first and second date with a woman (man), you know she is cool and she looks good but there is something that isn't right. Well, it is better to get out before feelings get hurt instead of ignoring the things that are botering you, hoping they will go away, only to find yourself in a real mess later.

I'm starting a part 2 thread on this because I find it very interesting.
You guys are all familiar to these threads that still keeps on poping up every now and then about people who think their new Orange amp is quiet, right?
I might be the one who is most interested in this it seems, but I'll hope you'll read on..
If I would take my band and play, say, some slowish blues or something really soft or easy music, we wouldn't play as loud as we usually do, right. My point is that I think the volume in a rehearsal room depends alot on what kind of music you play, and that is why Lars can find his 2061X too loud. Just that he use to rehearse without earplugs!? [:0]
I mean, I play uptempo rock and roll. I need lots of volume not to drown behind a wall of drums, and just thinking about rehearsing without earplugs in our rehearsal room is plain suicide I tell you.
And it's not like we could turn down he volume and hit the drums softer (like a music teacher suggested once). It would be like Indiana 500 with a speedlimit!
This must be at least one of the reasons why one guy thinks an Orange amp is loud as hell when the next guy thinks it's quiet like a mouse.
I can barely rehearse with the 2061X cranked. I still consider it a damn loud amp for it's 20W, but when rocking out to a hard hitting drummer it just isn't enough volume.
Even though I'm expressing myself quite poor, do you see what I'm trying to say? Anyone agree? Please share your experiences and theories..
