NAD! TH-30 ordered and on it's way :D
I'm so excited that i just had to start a thread Just ordered my new Orange Thunder 30 head after getting 4 A*'s and 6 A's in my Gcse's. Can't wait for it to come ( should be here Tuesday)! Also ordered a Vintage 30 loaded 2x12 and a Boss noise supressor. Anyone fancy telling me how awesome their Th30 is to get me even more excited?xD

Well I love mine and I'm sure you will love yours too.
With nothing but an EQ and a reverb pedal I get a great modern Satriani style lead tone with my Dimarzio'd strat along with thick swelling power chords.
Roll back the guitar volume and the spirit of SRV takes hold of me and my strumming hand starts doing this texas style circular sweeping.
Lots and lots of fun and a ton of versatility. The clean channel is just as great as the dirty - with the right valves that is.

Re: NAD! TH-30 ordered and on it's way :D
Congrats on your GCSEs!
As to your incoming TH30, it's a very good choice - I've tried it and really liked it. It gets a bit noisy on dirty channel with the gain cranked up, but I;m sure your noisegate will take care of that? (never used one)
The clean channel is ridiculously good in my opinion - though you wont get pristine clean, it does get hairy early, but it's absolutely brilliant - you'll soon see.
Did you get one of the orange cab to boot?
It's a brilliant set up at your age - I hope you'll appreciate it.
How long have played for? What stuff do you like to play?
Now I'm gutted I had to make do with Marshall MG20 or whatever for so long......!!!!!

Re: NAD! TH-30 ordered and on it's way :D
cheers for the props guys! I'm even more excited now :L
I tried one for about 15 mins in a shop a few weeks ago and was completley blown away, it bit the ass off the hayden mofo and marshall MA50 i played alongside it. Such a full and ballsy sound....considering i was playing a telecaster! :L
I didn't have enough money for the matching orange 212 so i had to go with the cheapo harley benton off of thomann.de but it's still got vintage 30's in it, so im halfway there im hoping to upgrade to a custom zilla 212 as soon as i manage to get a job
I've been playing guitar for 8 years (electirc for 6) and it's my sole passion, it's all i do and ever want to do :L I got my Grade 6 a few months back and am currently working on Grade 8. My influences stem from EVERYWHERE! Classic rock, alt rock, pop-punk, lots of thrash, prog and all types of metal. So i need an amp that can keep up.
As for appreciating it, i've been stuck with an epiphone valve junior mini-stack for the last few years, whilst not awful, i'm sure the orange will open my eyes to a whole new world of tone!
Apologies for the massive reply, my excitement is getting the better of me, aha. I'll be sure to put a first-impression post up when i get it!

Dont worry about the valves too much. Dont forget the amp you tried and liked so much will have had similar valves to the one you're getting!;)

Re: NAD! TH-30 ordered and on it's way :D
it's a great rock amp but, for modern metal you might want to consider getting a boost sure it's ballsy enough and has way more than enough gain for metal but, a boost will tame that massive bottom end to keep it nice and tight for modern metal, maxon od808 is your best bet
here is an example:

I know it's not a th30 but the rockerverb also has a massive low end like the th30...
but congrats man! it's a great rock amp, real gritty and British sounding, very warm, full and ballsy with lots of gain on tap.
enjoy!
