Don't they? My rockerverb smells amazing. The tweed on my 2x12 smells awesome as well.

I love the smell of Oranges. I like the smell of Marshalls, too, but Oranges have such a distinctive smell!

... and it's probably just the glue that they use to hold the tolex...

Seriously.

All tube amps smell good and the older the better.

This is so wierd, and interesting.

When I smell my Matamp, it smells exactly like the factory did.
When I put my Fender DRRI in my car the entire car starts to smell like the amp.

In conclusion, all amps smell really good, in some strange way..

However, my old Ormat from '69 smells like an old garage or a basement.

my orange doesnt really smell like anything. I guess the tubes smell when they're hot?

my bandmaster smells like a smokey bar and a dusty antique store

Yeah, Oranges do have a distinct smell now that I think of it.

I don't get it. Do you guys store them in plastic bags when you're not using them or something? Mine smells like nothing, maybe my house if I asked a friend to smell it.

Mine had a sweet smell when it was new.

No, it's not like that. I store my DRRI in my dining room were we always smoke like chimneys when we drink beer on fridays, and still the amp has this strange unique smell. A very nice smell!

I bought my rockerverb50H brand new at the beginning of June. Oh but man, when i opened up my 2x12, i don't really know how to explain it, but it smelled as good as it sounded and looked, and still does, just not as potent. It's an amazing thing. In a way, my rockerverb smells like a camp fire mixed with heaven. That's about the best description i can make.

when the tubes on my fender get hot i can sit with my head behind the amp for hours and just zone on the scent of it.

reminds me of the smell of LPs, not that they smell similar, but that it's a smell i adore.

Reminds me of this Strat I had one time that smelled like chocolate. Not just kind of like it, it was very strong. I always thought it was absurd, but pleasant.

Orange amps smell good.
