NAD Imminent!

Post by snickerpuss » Tue May 02, 2017 4:23 pm

Long story short, for the last few months, I've been hankering for some old school orange after using a mate's OR80 for a gig. However; I'm in an interesting place financially and can only take risk if I could resell the amp for roughly the same price purchased. I've been watchful and patient, came close to taking on an AD50, but finally ended up purchasing an OTR for a grand. Never been a real Oasis fan, but some of their more jammy breakdowns have surprisingly aggressive and gnarly tones. Anywho, unlike the next venue's sound guy, I'm super psyched and of course will post impressions and pics asap.

On a related inquiry, I'm wondering if anyone's tried an OTR or any OR80/120 OD80/120 with G12h's and vintage 30's and how they pair with the amp. I've currently got a couple V30 cabs and an 74' Hiwatt with fanes. Your opinions on the best cab for old Oranges?

Both V.30s and H-30s are fine with them. Prefer H-30s myself, and in fact old OR80 combos used to come with two of them which usually survived fine. (Tough drivers!)

Is the Fane a 200W rated cab? Might still be a shade marginal with an Orange 120. Fane speakers aren't anything like as conservatively rated as Celestions. Even Hiwatt recommended their 100w cabs for their 50W amps, 200W cabs for the 100 watters. Soundwise, i've no idea, never tried the combination.

V.30s will be fine though. Will highlight the O(T)R aggression. You'll enjoy the amp I'm sure, as long as you can get it loud enough anyway... :)
