Orange Amps Forum

Hi!
I have to replace the Tubes on my Orange OR50H
What do you recommend?

I recommend replacing the power valves only. Pream valves normally last several times longer than they do. ! only ever relace them single and only when needed! Not what you meant maybe, but what you got from me anyway.

What sort of power valves? Depends. What did you already have in the amp? Did you like them? Would you like to take the sounds / tonality any particular direction? Brighter, darker, more or less clean headroom?

Remember to have a tech re-bias the amp for the new power valves!

Hi a.hun,
Thanks for your reply!
I have the stock tubes installed right now...
I don't know which valves orange uses on the or50 Stock head but I really Love the sound!
I was also looking for the svetlana winged c for the power valves
The preamp and the power tubes are 5 years old..
I really love a 70s brighter sound like Jimmy Page and I use it in overdrive, I hardly ever use the head set for a clean sound

Thanks!

My ad50 had ruby tubes in and I guess yours would too. It said Orange on the tubes but when I ordered Ruby Tubes they looked exactly the same

Ruby's valves are simply rebranded valves, just like the Orange. If they look exactly the same outside / inside, they probably are the same, just they aren't ruby per say.

Got it. Mine from Ruby are called EL34BSTR and I think they are Shuanyangs?? or something from China?
