When it comes to the reliability issue... only "my amp is broken" type threads are ever started. Not trying to single anyone out by saying that.... but how about a thread of everyone elses amps who always works day in and ay out. I think that with the broken amp threads we have here( even if they are just a few)... it makes Orange look bad. Let's talk about how many of these amps are sold that work all the time for a change.

Ive had a little heat issue with mine.... but that was due to needing new tubes and rebiasing.

cmon guys give a good word in...

I've had no problems that a tube swap didn't fix.

Granted, I've had tubes blow fuses, but it happens - fuses are there to be blown (rather than parts!)

I got my rv50 about 6 months ago NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. factory tubes sound fine, so far it has operated flawless.

:):D:)

AD30 - 4 years, constant use, no problems - I change tubes on a regular basis - yearly or so - let it warm up properly, yadda, yadda

One issue that I thought was the reverb tranny. I now reckon it was the valve having tried the culprit again. I got a new transformer out of it, and it sounds better than it did. No problems before or after.

I've had my AD200 Mk3 for a year this week! Sounds awesome, looks great, and hasn't given me a single problem even after my drummer had turned it on for 2 hours with no speakers plugged in! (not recommended)

My Orange works great. It sounds great. I've had it for only a few months but all is well. I have a question about stand by though. Sometimes I only play my amp for about 5 mins and have to run out real quick so i turn it off. sometimes i turn it off then turn it back on pretty quick. Is that damaging. Also, what is the best way to turn it on. I flip the power and stand by up at the same time. BAd?

the only issues i had were....you guessed it, tubes.....when i first got it just under two years ago. orange promptly resolved my situatiion and i use it a few times a week, drive it kind of hard for a couple of hours at a time. no issues, sounds killer.

My AD30HTC has survived the last 4 months or so playing at performance volume 3 to 4 times a week (that includes practice)....not a hint of trouble...

My RV50 haed (2nd one) hasn't even had a hick-up....
