Just wanted to confirm I've had my RV50 for nearly 14 years now. It's been a workhorse. Still sounds amazing. Been through a "few" tube changes and that's about it maintenance wise. Thought my reverb tank was shot once - just needed (you know what's coming) a new tube.
In any event, I can assure you that this amp sounds greatest on the dirty channel with the Volume at 1-2:00 and all the other knobs dialed to taste. I usually set the dirt between 10:30 & 3:00 (depends on the mood - you know?). Also, I run a delay in the loop (flavor of the day - usually analog because I love that decay tone! ). And occasionally I'll run a Flint in there too for the tremolo - and occasionally a Deco for all kinds of subtle modulation - but infrequently). Oh yeah - just a cable between the guitar and amp. Nothing else needed.
Enjoy your Oranges! Truly an amazing tone.
And of course - sounds best with a Tele.

Ah ah!!!
I plugged in my RV50 (9 years old now) a couple of nights ago and thought to myself that I'm a really lucky man to have that amp. I already know I love it, yet I'm still in awe of it's incredible tone.... and still surprise myself re-realising how beautiful the sound coming out of that beast is.....

Nope, just a stat I've heard. I am only on my 12th year (together 16), but I think we'll make it past 14!margarettestine wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2018 1:03 amHave you just undergone heartbreak? LOL

My Rockerverb was great. I sold it to a friend, it's still going strong.
I remember the shock and awe I caused when I replaced it with the Dark Terror

Hi Sir! Nice to see you here!
Your RV50 did sound mighty fine too.
You should get another one some day.
Do you still have your dark terror down south?
