I was wondering if the orange 30 watt head is loud enough to play in a band with?

No problem. Easily loud enough.

the AD30 has one channel and the AD30TC has two channels, so if you only need one channel, then get the AD30. i've heard that its one channel sounds better than either of the two on the AD30TC, but i haven't actually compared them myself. if you need 2 channels, then the AD30TC is it.

I agree-- 30W on this amp is plenty. I've got a combo. I play with the master and gain both at halfway, and it cuts right through. My drummer is solid, and he can get loud. No problem. We play rock, pop, etc.

In comparison, I also play a Peavy Classic 50 (50W combo) in my rehearsal space, and I have to completely crank all the knobs to get the same amount of volume. So, there's definitely something to the Class A argument. Everyone in my band absolutely loves the Orange. It's such an awesome sound. Better than the Peavy, Marshalls, Mesas, Fenders and other stuff I've played at one time or another. The Orange tone jumps right out-- I think you'll roll right over your friend on the Marshall.

When I was buying, I tried both the two channel and single channel combos and ended up with the single channel. I actually thought that the single channel sounded better than either channel of the TC, even though the dealer told me that they're all exactly the same. So I don't know. Depending on what style you play, you may not need two channels, I don't.

THe dealer was just trying to make a sale. The single channel amps sound better because there is less stuff for the signal to pass through. The twin channels were designed to give the user more flexibility. The single channels have a great strong tone and the TC's sound similar but they are not as clean because all of the stuff in the signal path creates more load and Total Harmonic Distortion. In my opinion single channel no reverb amps always sound better.

I wanna dip my balls in it!!!!
