Ok here it is my baby.

Some infor before you start, its got an interesting history so please read on!

I purchased this amp about a month ago and have investigated its odd combination.

The Amp is an OTR overdrive head modified by orange (originally an OR). It was modified and placed into an OR80 combo with 2 x vintage 30's. Thus 2 valves were removed to bring that 120 watts down to 80 (still plenty). It also had a standby switch added - very nice. In my view its like owning the perfect combination of vintage orange features with all the additionals.

Read on for one more surprise (it was for me as well)!!!

First the amp itself....

A Birds eye view

The inside.... if you know the amps notice the additionals mid low center of the PCB hanging of and notice the standyby switch at the rear where the slave output would be.....

Inside 2...

Inside 3 .. OOH look does that say Oasis inside??

Inside 4 .. Well yes it does, with the date the mods were carried out for Noel. What a lucky find!

Color me Orange with envy. That's a really neat looking amp, and apparently one of a kind, or very close to being one of a kind? Congrats on the find.

Cheers, I sort of knew it was their amp but was never certain till i saw that inside. I was informed it was looked after in flight cases (unfortuanatly didn't come with that). I love the sound and the power, I was looking at AD30's and the new rockerverb but really i wanted to get a single channel orange. I am pleased I took my time over the search as it seemed to pay of.. in more than one way!

Nice, really cool amp, I love the "thin" look to those cabs of that Orange era. Way cool stuff, and great build/find!

You do know that the OTR model came about because Noel asked Orange to make his Overdrive sound different than it did. They made about 11 changes to the schematic for him and the OTR was born. This looks like it could be THE amp. Noel's amp which they modded for him. I would actually suck your roger to have that.

Damn-Deal-Done, that is pretty sick.
