orange vs. vox

iÃ‚Â´m thinking abauot buying an AD30R, but iÃ‚Â´m not shure...Would you get the orange or the vox AC30? The truth is iÃ‚Â´v never tried the orange but iÃ‚Â´ve read a lot about it and looks... perfect, becouse it has the Gain knob which the vox doesnÃ‚Â´t. The thing is that i think the vox needs toooo much volume to sound properlly with my tele, and thatÃ‚Â´s too loud for me.
IÃ‚Â´ve allready read the article on orangeÃ‚Â´s page but still...
Could anyone give me some advice on the matter.
Thank you!

I have an AC-30 and it really is a loud mother. I also looked at the AD30R and did not think it was loud enough for a 2nd amp. I bought the Orange AD12/15 and totally love it. It is 15 watts and plenty loud.

The AD30R is a beautiful amp though. I just did not like its tone compared to the AC-30.

Are you using the amp for indoor, 'house' use? I got an AD15-12 and its PLENTY loud, even clean. I also went through the same choice and decided on 15 watts for one, but also liked the Orange for the seperate gain & master. The versatility is greater, and with the ad15's active eq, you can dial in more tones than you'd expect. ditto for the ad30r. the Orange tone tends to be a bit warmer, beefier than the vox, though. Definitely try one out tho, and check out harmonycentral.com's reviews.

Hi everyone,

i had the same problem - should i buy the AC-30 (a reliable amp that is well-known by everyone) or a AD30 twin-channel. So i went to the shop (Music Store Cologne,Germany) and tried : a fender hotrod (forget about that - tin can sound

), a AC-30 (greenbacks)loud but without a gain knob !!!, a Marsahll tsl combo (what should i say it's a Marshall

) and the AD30 !!!
The Orange amp was better than any other amp i played on !!! The sound is warm, powerfull and LOUD !!! The AD30 has a terrific clean (bluesy) channel (i even play acoustic guitar on it) and a kickass, boosted crunchy channel !

if you want to buy an amp buy the AD 30, you won't be dissapointed, believe in me !!! (but unfortunately the orange amps are VERY expensive in the USA)

cheers

Markus
