Rockerverb 100 mkiii volume issue

Post by Forgetmyname2008 » Tue Aug 01, 2017 9:57 pm

Hello all! I've searched and searched and even emailed orange but haven't gotten a great answer. I'm wondering if my situation is the same for fellow owners of the mkiii rockervebs. My issue is volume levels. I have to have my dirty channel at 4.5-5 to match my clean channel on 2.5-3. This is full power to be heard over a drummer. I've rolled the tubes and replaced them and the results seem to be the same. Anybody else have this issue?

Yes, it's normal if the dirty channels gain isn't maxed.

The clean channel gets loud pretty fast, but past 12 o'clock, the volume increase slows down quite a bit. The dirty channel still increase in volume with extra gain too.

The RV50, TH30 and TH100 are the same too.

All normal.

I can't say that's the way you're amp is supposed to be, as I don't have a Rockerverb 100 MKIII. But, It is normal for two different channels to operate at different volume levels. It's like having two different amps in one and I think that's how it needs to be looked at, each channel set where it sounds best.

Good to hear! I'm not going crazy after all. Love this amp too much and was hoping it would be fine. I actually had a Friedman before this but it broke in two weeks... I decided to just go with my guy and get the rockerverb and am glad I did. Then the volumes were weird so I was skeptical but you have all convinced me. Rock on!
