The quest for tone continues!
I sold off my Fender Hot Rod deluxe to a friend. It was in mint nic so got a pretty good price for it and it suits his needs. I've also sold off a few pedals and things and am re-investing in
An Orange PPC 212 OB in black and a Groove Tubes Soul-O 75 head.
The GT's clean channel is based on a Bassman circuit and can run a large variety of tubes in Class A Normal, Gnarly and Class A/B
so you can run it as low as 35 watts with 6L6 in Class A Gnarley or up to 95 watts in Class A/B with KT88's. The 'Scream' Channel is more marshall territory and i imagine that means its 80's JCM800 style going on but with a full eq on both channels and all those headroom options it seems like it could be a very interesting amp. Ususally I wouldnt be so down on options but I got it at a really good price and i've played the 50 and really liked the sounds.
The original cabs are very difficult to find but I do like V30s and had a Ceriatone Super Overdrive style amp before with them and it sounded great so im looking forward to having an Orange 2x12 again. There is a new practice space in my local area too so I can dust off the AD30 as well and get the two going side by side. Gigs are slowly coming back too so its time to try out some of this new material and see how it goes.
Ill try and get some clips up when I get my mits on it (Saturday cant come soon enough!)
