So far, so good. This was a special order for another customer, that flaked out when it came in. Balked at the sticker price. One guy bought it, came back within a week... too much amp for him.
Brought my pedalboard in, we plugged into a Orange 2x12 and spent at least 2 hours playing it. A bit darker than my usual Marshalls, but extremely articulate and just screams, when you open it up. Nothing like any of the SS Orange amps, I've played... which I actually really like.
It reminds me a lot of a Plexi, to be honest.
With my taste in guitars, I'm not surprised its voiced well for them. Asked them to stash it for me, on the promise I'd buy it. 3 months later... it came home.
I had tried matching it with my 1960AV, loaded with Marshall Vintage. Wasn't really feeling it, so I tried running it through a Mesa Boogie 1x12 Recto cab. That was the match. The Orange cabs sound real similar to me... so I traded an old Tweaker 15 head and the Mesa, for a PPC412.
Invested in a Hotplate as well, as I think the CS50 sound better pushed. Give up a little bit of tone, but not so much it bothers me.
Making room for the new cab.
Finished!
Some glamour shots...

Congrats!!!!!
So you like LP quite a bit then..... good match with Orange amps (ok, a LP is a good match with any amp!)!
Looks like you have a really nice set up. I've heard the custom shop in a store, and recorded live.... it does sound fantastic.

Very cool! Impressive setup.
Side note...why ask a store to special order something without knowing what it will cost? Seems kinda lame to back out. Worked out for you in the end though!

The CS50 is a beast. It really likes to be run hot, as well. It pretty much knows Crunchy and Crunchier. Which, is fine by me.
I see it a lot. They had another customer order a Custom Shop True Historic '57 Black Beauty, from another store. She backed out, when they called to tell her it was in. They're typically people, that have a history of spending money, so they'll order something, and let you pay when it gets there. They've been burned a few times. Usually they just send it back to the original store. If its something like that, and they know a particular customer might be interested, they'll float it there way.
I actually had to wait a week for her final "no," before I could buy it. That's OK. I got a better deal. She was paying the price from the other store. I paid the local price.
I liked Gold Tops. Have 2 now... 3rd is on the way. Well, I'm most likely going to buy it. I've got a Tribute I never play. I always buy one, thinking I'll play it... then it just hangs on the wall. I want to play my guitars, not look at them.Ronnie Robinson wrote: ↑Sat Oct 13, 2018 7:50 amAwesome Amp!, beautiful gold top with zebra pickups.....!! Fantastic set up.
