What amp(s) do you own that aren't Orange?

[langmurf]

Just an amp enthusiast... lol (not much of a guitarist...)

Orange amps:

Owned an OR15 with PPC112 for a month or so. Bought it new, returned it because it had this super annoying hum. Came to find out later that there's a pot in the guts that allows one to dial out the hum. (Or so I was told...)

Currently own a Tiny Terror Hard Wired Edition into, what else? A PPC112. Love it to death. Such a versatile amp for just having 3 pots. Clean to scream, very "Marshally" with gain at or below 12 o'clock. I usually run the gain at 2:30-3 o'clock because I just love how it sounds.

Other amps:

Currently have a Marshall Offset 1w with matching cab. Very nice amp. And... a Line6 Amplifi 75 that is a pretty cool piece of kit... great for recording but the 8" driver leaves a lot to be desired sonically when just using as a guitar amp.

Too many previously owned amps to list here. Some of my favorites, the one's I regret selling the most:

'73 Marshall 1959 - gol dang, my favorite cleans of any amp I've owned... probably because it was god awful loud at 2 on the volume pot. (Not 2 o'clock... the number 2 on the volume pot.)

'65 Vox Cambridge Reverb - bought it on eBay... came with all original Mullard glass. I believe it had sat in a closet for near 30 years when I got it. I still use the 12AU7 and 2 12AX7's in my Marshall 1w and have not found any tubes that sound better. Anyway... great amp. Very touch sensitive. Best "strum lightly for glassy cleans, dig in for early breakup" amp I've had the pleasure of owning.

Swart Space Tone Reverb - serial # 005... sounded glorious with a Seimens (?) EL-34 and an RCA 5Y3.

Laney L5T-112 - everything from glassy Voxy cleans to Marshall grind. 12" Greenback driver. At 42 lbs., the heaviest 5 watter I've owned.

Emery Sound Superbaby - owned 2 of this wonderful amp at different times. Taught me a lot about different tubes... super simple circuit that let the tubes disclose their different properties, tone wise. Even the same tube type from the same mfg. In the end, as NMV amps, I couldn't justify the cost of an attenuator too. C'est la vie.

And... amps I'd love to at least try out:

Orange Rocker 30, and that's about it. lol

My only non Orange amp is the little but fantastic Blackstar Fly 3 for home practice.

[MettleGossett]

My only amps that aren't Oranges are:
-mesa rectoverb series1 head
-blackheart killer ant head

Oranges:
-Rocker30 head
-Thunderverb50 (acquired yesterday)

Previous amps:
-Marshall jcm800 combo
-Genz Benz El Diablo 60 combo
-th30 (missed it until I got the tv)

Dude congrats I just picked up a Thunderverb 50 today as well it's insane!

[MettleGossett]

I currently have a Supro Royal Reverb that I'm selling to fund my purchase of my new ThunderVerb 50 (new to me). Everytime I try to go outside of the Orange circle I'm just disappointed. The Supro sounded really cool but it was just kind of a one sound amp. I can always get so many sounds out of my Oranges that I just love them to death.

Other than my single Orange CR120h...

I have a Fender Bassman 60. No not a real Bassman, but the late 90s early 2000s bass amp. Got it for 35 bucks. Bought it at guitar center with their pro coverage. It broke. Got my money back and they said to keep the amp. Replaced the volume pot that was cracked for 15 bucks. And the pro coverage was only 20. Great deal in my book. Been a good amp.

Also have a Mexican made frontman 15 that ive had since I started playing. Cant get rid of it due to sentimental value. But I use it on occasion.


Right before buying my Orange, I had got a Peavey Transtube supreme. I would still have it if it didn't go into thermal shut down every 15 minutes of playing a gig levels. Ruined the first and only gig I played it at. Had it like 2 weeks. After the gig, it went straight back to guitar center and the Orange came home with me.
Best trade ever.


And if cabinets count... I have a little Bugera 2x12, the "vintage" one. It was cheap enough and close enough to that V30 sound and goes great with the CR.
