Best amp to complete my collection - please vote!

[Bensnake]

Maybe a Dual Terror should have been on the list... Not a UK made full sized head of course but pretty darn good sounding with some classic rock'n'roll vibe to it. Hooked up to a 212 open back. Now what about that?

AD, but your poll wont let me vote for some reason...

Ditto.

Every poll here I've tried to vote in the past couple of years does that. Forum software doesn't like me I guess!

Anyway... Hiwatt! Something great sounding which won't immediately remind you of all your other Oranges...

I'd get a Hustlerverb 80 Combo when they come out next year. Or one of those fancy Triple Attenuator 120s.

Asking which Orange next when you've already have or had just about every one is just redundant. It's like asking which Coke should you drink... Coca Cola, Diet Coke, Coca Cola Zero, Mexican Coke, Caffeine Free Coke... it's really just all Coke, at least when you have a Dr. Pepper or Sprit next to it. Minor tweaks and changes, but still all very similar in taste.

- An OR50 would be redundant because you have an OR100 that covers the same ground tonally. If anything, the OR100 gives you WAY more options and features.
- A CS50 is tonally VERY similar to an OR50, but double the price. I'd suggest a CS amp mainly for its longevity, build quality, reliability and investment value. Tonally, it's not going to really open any new doors for your playing that your OR100 wouldn't unlock. The tonal differences are so subtle.
- The AD30 is a brilliant amp. I personally favor it over the Rocker and OR50 as it does set itself apart in the Orange line. I eventually sold it though because it wasn't as loud as I personally needed, and when cranked with the band, it became a little too thin and gainy sounding for my taste (but sounded brilliant for home/studio and recording). Is the AD30 going to a breathe of fresh air into your guitar playing or inspire your playing and creativity more so than the Orange amps you already have... most likely not, but it's a great amp.

I like Coke. I don't fancy Dr. Pepper. Thanks.

Just what this thread needed! Now I know what amp I should buy.

Just wait for NAMM before making a decision. There's nothing wrong with wanting another Orange, after all, this is an Orange forum and we wouldn't be here if we weren't fanboys.

After owning a bunch of non-Oranges, I finally figured out that Oranges sound best to me. My preference (/aspiration) would be to have a few variations of what I like best rather than have one amp that I really like and a bunch of others that are much different but much further from what I like. The definition of variety is subjective.

I second that.

If I had to collec Orange Amps, I'll try to get an example of all custom shop / hardwired versions.

Thanks god, I'm poor, and I don't have to deal with such dilemma

I think that's a very good suggestion.
..who knows what goodies Orange may reveal!

And I third it.
