Quick & easy question for those who know. Are one of the channels on the AD30HTC the same channel/circuit as the single channel AD30?

Pretty close. I think there are some differences but for all practical purposes, they are very similar. The second channel of the AD30TC is slightly hotter.

Thanks. I did search this before I posted and found that it was probably about the same but I was wondering if there had ever been comparing of the circuit.

Theres slight differences in the schematics. Each channel on the TC is a little different than the single channel, but subtle. Different value capacitor here and there.

I see, thanks. I was asking because I have always been interested in the dual channel, but was thinking that if jimmy page uses the single channel, that might be the one to get. But I do like having two channels. I don’t know, I don’t need another amp anyway 😃

I'm sure Jimmy Page has a roadie/tech to kick in his pedals and switch amps. ;-)

Nobody needs another amp, but you gotta! I think Page got it before the twin channel was a thing, when Orange was just kind of being re-born.

Merry Christmas! I saw an old friend recently and he might want to sell his dual channel ad30. Probably be the best price on one I’ll ever see.

You definitely have to get it then! Happy Boxing Day!
