Great tone, man! :D I regret I sold my R30 Combo. If I get the chance to lay my hands on a head I won't hesitate. What cab are you using for the Rocker?

Thanks!

In the video I am using the cab I built that is based on the orange ob212 with a pair of greenbacks installed. The R30 sounds good with all the cabs though. GBs offer a slight decrease in db so opted for those today.

Best amp I've ever played. Sounds great with all cabs, guitars, and genres.

Glad I snagged two of em when I had the chance :D

One of my favorite amps. I just love the Dirty channel. Great range of tones from classic rock to raw higher gain Orangeness.

Not to mention the Natural channel is a killer pedal platform, takes every dirt and fuzz pedal I've thrown at it like a champ.

I'm starting to see them pop up more on the used market. Been thinking about snagging a second one, as, as my dear kitty clawed up the tolex on the corner of mine when I wasn't looking. Shouldv'e gotten a cover for it! MAde sure to buy a cover for my DD50 this time.

interesting!!!!

Is it me or the midtown doesn't sound much different to a les paul?

The ES335 sound much brighter and articulate, and the midtown sounds a touch thicker and warmer in that video (on my crappy laptop seaker......). Is it the same in real life?

In person I think the Midtown sounds brighter than the 335; but the Midtown does sound an awful like a LP to me as well.
