Yeah, that's right! New Solid State Amp! Can't believe that...

It sounds good but it doesn't sound like a tube amp. Because it's not. Obviously. I like it anyway...

Man, your collection just gets bigger and bigger!! Nice, seems like everyone has only good things to say about that amp so far, hope you dig it too!

Now I've played it for a while. I must say they've done a great job making this amp sound like it does! Very Orange-ish but not as good as its big brothers of course. Gigable? Definitely!

The cleans are good! The dirty channel gets very fizzy at around 2 o'clock, I find the dirt sweetspot at 1 or slightly above... The reverb is really good! You can even dime it without getting into outer space... The spring setting is the best sounding imo.

I'm very pleased so far...

Is it light enough to use as a good backup amp? It's nice to have something like that that's gigable, definitely a good amp for people wanting to get into Orange but not having the dough for the proper tubesters!

It's light and very portable imo. No problems to get it in one hand and a guitar case in the other.

I swore 20 years ago when I first played a good tube amp that I never ever was going to buy, even use, an SS again. I was wrong (obviously).

This is definitely the most amazing sounding SS amp I've ever played. I even think that on small (I don't even do big

) gigs this is the only amp I'm gonna bring. The audience won't tell the difference anyway...

I think pairing it with my forthcoming Jim R. cab will be an awesome match.

Lol. Yeah because you need more cabs.

I have no one that's portable AND can handle the power of the CR...

Yeah loving my CR120 combo! Sounds very close to my Rockerverb and for live purposes will be ideal. I'm running it with a 2x12 open back and it's sounds great. What I can't believe for a SS amp is that the louder you crank it the better it sounds, much like Oranges tube amps. With gain around 11 o'clock and the overall master around 5 it's freakin' fantastic! It ain't my Rockerverb or OR100, but it is very close gig wise and definitely a lot easier on the mind when touring since I'm not sweating my babies getting beat.

It's a solid state amp RB - totally safe to run without speakers!

Sure, but it would have been more fun if it had some electrostatic panels or something.
