You can probably expect this thread to be deleted, but what don’t you like about the OR100?

You can try to sell, but you will get screwed on the price. I recall the tale of my long lost and mildly hated RV100MK1, and the 4 year journey spent trying to sell it. Offers for far under 50% off retail price had me re-thinking my purpose in this universe. Yet one day I stumbled into a music store and found a still glistening and clinically pristine Rocker 30 Combo. I calmly strolled up to the man in charge slammed and asked "about a potential trade". He says "OKAY YES OKAY FINE THANKS BYE!"

So I rip home grab the RV100MK1 take it back to the store and he says two things. "Hey you didn't say this was an MK1". Of course I did say that about 17 times. AND! "So you're trading for the TH30 combo right?" Again I had said I was trading for the R30 combo numerous time. After some frantic typing he said "OKAY!"

So if you are thinking brand new retail proces of the RV100MK1, and the R30C, I made off with only a slight loss in cash, where as if I sold it, I would have been out nearly 2K.

BORING STORY YES I KNOW! So trade it.

Why do you need two inputs? Are you running two things at the same time? If so get an A/B/Y pedal, set your OR100 to half power and live your life!

Negative! LM is a 6 month! We have discussed this in advanced detail! Depressing when I bought the RV100MK1 ages ago thinking it was BUILTINUK! SUPEREXPENSIVE! For sure it will hold it's value... nope.

That said I still have the PPC412 I bought along with it nearly a decade ago. It sounds najce :)

It is a bit depressing.
Thankfully, I still love my RV50, but if id get 50% if its purchase value whem bought 8 years ago, it would only be because of inflation. Good thing mine is staying home.

Hell, I scored my R30 head for £255 on eBay.....

yea funny how we are okay when we get a good deal as a buyer, but when the same deal comes around with us on the selling end, we become unhappy.

Humans are interesting.

Keep the OR100 and find a guy to mod it for you, probably be way less than selling it at a loss and buying something else. Have a talented tech rework your tone stack and you're good to go!
