- I'm comparing a 1972 Orange "Pics only" OR120 to a 1971 Marshall Super Lead. I'm playing both through a 1971 Marshall 1960A+1982B Fullstack using a 2013 Gibson SG Standard Custom shop (Aged).
I think the Orange has a more complex and interesting character
Really prefer the orange to my surprise, What a great sound
The Orange Matamp OR120 was the real sound behind Led Zeppelin, Peter Green, BB King, and so many others. Nothing here is said about volume but that Orange will guaranteed walk on that Super Lead volume wise.
You know you're doing it right when the amps are oscillating and the camera is shaking from the volume! 🎸🎵💥
I preferred the Orange between these two particular amps. The Orange has a vowely awe midrange ....maybe its more low mid? I like that. Marshall was great too but seemed mushier into saturation while the Orange seemed more articulate. Orange seemed more stable or happy cranked up compared to the Marshall....it was making some noises like it was about to blow. Maybe just microphonic feedback. Although they are both very classic rock there is something about that Orange that nails that classic rock character. The midrange is a bit different than the Marshalls midrange but you did make them almost the same at one point. Thanks Johan! I will never sell my pics only. Always sounds like Kossoff when Free played the German Beat Club. I think those were the Matamp Orange amps though. Still has that character tone to my ears.
I fear I have unfairly judged Orange amps...brilliant comparison and playing Johan. Loved the outro.
The shear balls it takes to name your amp after a fucking fruit, give it the dirtiest most unwieldy tone imaginable, adorn it with pictures of elves and Mr. Tumnus, and then remove all the numberings. It's absolutely nuts, that's why Orange is so cool.
This just proves to me that orange amps are by far superior to Marshalls, I wanna see this with a les Paul that would rule!
Noticeably thicker than the Marshall
Orange are just cooler.
The Oranges always have that slightly fuzzy quality about them when they’re wound up. Both undeniable classics, great stuff as always!
I love both. Been playing mostly Orange and Marshall lately, and though mine are modern versions of both, the character of the amps are the same as in this video.
Well done Brother! Great dynamics
30-ish years ago I had each of these amps, in succession. Super Lead was my 1st tube amp. Got it in '86/7 paired with an old Hiwatt 4-12 w/Fanes = $650 USD. Was a mind-blowing replacement for my stolen Peavey Bandit !! A few years later I made an even trade at a local shop for an OR 120 half-stack. Before I sealed the deal I played both rigs, side by side, & even ran the S.L. thru an old Marshall cab.. I'll never forget the sheer visceral, physical difference between those amps. The Orange had so much more mid/low-range 'Punch'. Unfortunately, the OR had a habit of burning up tubes that even an old-head amp tech could never quite remedy. Silver lining is, a couple years after I got the Orange I sold it back to the shop where I got for $1,500 !! Of course, if I still had both those rigs today my $850 profit would be like pennies on the dollar - but so it goes.
My goodness that SG sounds nothing short of phenomenal. It just screams pure rock n' roll.
Orange amplifiers we're extremely well-built back in the day.They last forever and sound great. Cheers Johan another great video.
More great work!! They both sound so good 😃👍🤘🤘🤘
I love Marshall's, but the note definition and articulation with the orange was really good
They provide a way different picking attack and to me that is the biggest difference. Because of that orange seems more pillowy whereas the SL is grittier and more textured and I love that realness.
Wow! This was a great comparison. Orange has a fullness to it. The Marshall is more trebley. Both are decent at what they do.
