Orange ad30 tc discontinued!!!!!

Post by Ronnie Robinson » Sat Apr 29, 2017 4:22 am

I can't believe it , just looked on the Orange website and it says the ad30tc is discontinued!! So presumably the head will be going the same way .....do Orange intend to have a range of only the new Rocker series the RV mkiii and solid state model? Disappointed !!!

They have stopped making so many models our the last 18 months.

Maybe the head is selling good even if the combo doesn't. Big and heavy 212 combos aren't that common among manufactors any longer except for the "classics". People seem to want either small 112 combos or small or big heads combined with cabs of their taste. If Orange is going to discontinue the AD30HTC as well, it certainly is time for a "vintage reissue" series IMO. The heritage of the brand needs to live.

I'm surprised... I thought it was doing well - maybe the market is saturated.

I think it's being replaced with a solid state version. Gonna keep the tube rectifier though.

I hope that's a joke.....it's getting replaced by an amp that has a worst sounding overdrive but has plenty of sag.
