Anyone manage to get more "saggy" tone out of their modern Orange amps?
Sag, looser sound like vintage Oranges and Matamp. My OR100 is too tight sounding for what I currently want. Any pedals, mods or tricks that could get me there? Otherwise I'll just buy a Matamp (GT1 or GT120MV).

You really need a valve rectifier.
Have you tried an AD30?

Yeah, I was going to say AD30TC, too....
Re: Anyone manage to get more "saggy" tone out of their modern Orange amps?
So we're talking a about a mod or addition to the circuit that regulates the voltage?
Nope. Never heard that kinda sound from an AD30.

Bump on AD30 suggestions.
The saggy king in the Orangefamily!
Another option might be to try a compressor in front of your OR100?

You can add a 10 watt resistor roughly 200-300 ohms between the rectifier and first filter capacitor in the power supply to simulate a valve rectifier. Higher the resistance, more sag.
Re: Anyone manage to get more "saggy" tone out of their modern Orange amps?
I don't see how that would do it. What kinda settings on the comp?
Interesting, I'll look into this.

It can be put on a switch too. Watts Tube audio sells a kit I think.

any compressor with a control of the attack should mimic some of the sag effect.. The attack essentially allows control of the rise time of the transients..

I doubt it will translate to your amp, but my CR120h gets saggy as heck with the bass turned up a bit and the gain set up higher. Muffles the pick attack quite a bit.
My cat loves the Orange tone!

Some overdrive pedals have Sag control, you might want to look into that. I'm using the Fairfield Circuitry Barbershop, works great for me.
