Black is blasphemous!!!!!!!!

But if they did that than there would be a conflict with Black Amps

Dont see the point in having a black Orange. Half the cool of an Orange amp is the orange tolex. Played a black one last week while testing a G&L axe. Sound was just as good but didnt get a boner about the colour. When you have a brand as well known as Orange, why start messing with the signature colour ??
Besides...when I have been using my Peavey Deuce, never had a fine lookin woman come up to me after a gig and say ooooh what a lovely black amplifier!!!
Plenty have commented on the Orange though...which has led to several pleasant after gig interludes.....

I personally like the orange.

The only problem with the black is that the piping isn't orange.
I think black tolex with orange piping would look very cool. 8)

I call it damn good marketing. Im sure a sizable number of people out there steered clear of orange because they were orange, you cant go wrong with black so, go figure.

Perosnally I like orange much better though.

Orange tolex sounds better.

Its not really about looks to me but I like them in both orange and black. I think the combos look particularily nice in black.

i agree.. but they need to have the white corner protectors as well as the silver grill otherwise they look tacky.
