Which Rockerverb gets the most love?

[mici88]

I've been wondering which Rockerverb gets the most love here and there. Few weeks ago I got MK1 50W head and for now I can't imagine better all-round amp.

Let the poll begin, opinions are welcome!

My Rockerverb. It gets a lot of love. especially when my wife is out.
It gets the input Jack messy though.

More seriously, I have the MKI, have had it for 9 years now, and it's still my #1.

One of the best cleans, best blues tone, and beat reverb ever!!!!

When the mki came out, I remember thinking it wasn't a "real" amp cuz it had 6v6s (silly, I know. I also don't still think this) and I never really paid much mind to the mkii.

When the mkiii came out, I was interested in the attenuator and power scaling, and then just got more and more interested, and ended up buying one. Sometimes I think i should have gotten an OR100 instead, but I don't even play in a band anymore and haven't used the rockerverb outside of playing at home alone so who really knows

Sounds like you are liking it? I am considering trading my R30 for an RV50 MKI today and am leaning towards it. Are you gigging with it at all?

I haven't played with it on stage yet. As for rehearsal environment, it's a killer amp on my PPC212 with V30s. Even just guitar>cable>amp it sounds great, no need to use any boosts, compressor and any other stuff. Totally gets along with pretty loud mix. Other guitarists in my band uses TH30, which in general is also a nice amp (I had it previously), but the longer I play RV, the more I think it's far superior to TH30.

Unfortunately I have no comparison to R30 as I've never played one. However if you miss fx loop, reverb, better cleans and a bit more headroom then you should join to RV family. Funny thing is that I don't know anyone who would be disappointed with Rockerverb.

MKIII for me. I had the MKII 50, great amp, but had many flaws for me personally.

MkII hated pedals - MKIII loves them.

MKII clean channel lacked headroom - MKIII has more headroom.

MKIII looks better with it's more "vintage Orange" design.

MKIII reverb is improved, not as extreme as the MKII.

MKIII with it's added attenuater, which works great.

MKIII 50w, can be lowered to 25w.

MKIII is a great amp all round.

I recently picked up a MK1 and it's a great amp. Testing it out recording a short clip using my suhr Reactive Load and it sounds great.

Never played a MKI but had a II and still have the III. MKIII gets my vote

I've played all 3. I really like the Mk3 (I particularly like the attenuator feature) and I like the Mk2 I had borrowed for a short period (Although, as a previous poster stated, it hated pedals!), but by far my favorite is my Mk1. I haven't played any other Mk1's so maybe it's just mine, but there is something to the tone that I can't quite put into words, but it absolutely makes my hair stand on end it's so incredibly awesome. And it LOVES pedals! I run mine through a PPC412 and a PPC212C. I remember when I got my first Orange amp (A Rocker 30 combo that I will never sell) the first time I plugged in my '52 RI Tele I knew I had found a match made in sonic heaven. Something about the combo of that amp and single-coil pickups just works! Well, I've discovered that my Mk1 combined with the mini-humbuckers in either of my Gibson Firebirds is even more impressive! I haven't really experimented with playing metal on it (I have a JCM800 and a Block letter 5150 for that) but for classic to hard rock I truly believe the Rockerverb series are the best, most versatile amps made.
