Orange OR100 pre-amp valve question.

Hi,

I'm thinking of trying a 12AT7 valve in the V1 position of my Orange OR100 from 2015. The purpose is to test how the amp reacts and sounds with a lower gain valve in the first position. I look at the OR valve position diagram available here, https://ln-media.orangeamps.com/wp-cont ... pdf?05b1f9, and I see:

There is one valve called 1 2 CLEAN
There is one valve called 1 2 DIRTY

Does that mean that the clean channel and the dirty channel doesn't share any pre-amp valves at all other than the FX-loop and the phase inverter (PI)?

Correct.

You ever give the 12at7 a try?

Unfortunately not. I did some more reading and then I did some thinking. One could describe it as a mental journey where I ended up in that all I've searched for was the early Marshall sound. So... I sold the OR100 and bought a Marshall Vintage Modern (JTM45 style amp with FX-loop) instead. Now I don't need to change tubes...

Love it!!!

All that matters is that in the end, you have the tone you wanted!

Bad move. Bad move.

You do realize you need'em both, don't you?

This is exactly what I try to go by.

I will probably regret it some day. Though, the OR100 is a beast with a bottom end that I'm not worthy of

. Some day I'm hoping to buy a more vintage flavored Orange. Remember, it's better to collect amps than guitars. Guitars can only be played on one at a time whilst amps can be played all at the same time.
