Orange schematics - AD50

Post by Ade » Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:23 pm

Hi

I think I read somewhere that Orange don't produce schematics for their amps (if this is the case I'm not sure why). Either way, I'm chasing one for my Custom Shop AD50. I've hit Google but have yielded no results. Anyone know where I could find one?

Thanks

Adrian

What do you need the schematic for?
They aren't particularly complicated amps.
The closest schematic I've seen is for the Retro 50.
See this link: http://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14754" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Need to be logged in to see pics.
Cheers,

Are you talking about the hand-wired one?

Well, I am at least. Retro 50 looks like:

Different, but not hugely.

Yep.

I appreciate the hand-wired custom shop amps are probably, as amps go, fairly straight forward in their layout and operation. I really don't know as I don't pocess any technical working knowledge of them. Mine needs a fault diagnosed by a tech and I just thought I'd save him some time by trying to track down a schematic if possible.

Hi Sooner and thanks so much for that link. It explains a number of things, including (as Andy had also suggested) what faulted with my amp. I won't bother looking any further for a schematic - Ade Emsley, the man himself, makes a very salient point!
