This is an interesting video, these amps almost sound the same to my ears with the Orange sounding just a bit better, what do you think?

I used to own two Superleads and they were anemic compared to my OR80. To get that level of sustain from a Superlead, it has to be turned up louder than it could ever be used live.

That's exactly what I was thinking, that these amps probably need to be turned up to ungodly volumes to sound good, neither amp being good for my own application, although they both sounded great in this video.

To be fair, my OR80 head had a master volume so it was controllable... unlike the Marshalls
