  • We're often living in the land of Fender amps along with modern boutique builds, but every once in a while we get called back into Orange territory! Today's pick is an excellent AD-30HTC and PPC212 cabinet, a popular two-channel AC30 style head and 2x12 open-back cabinet. The head comes in at 30-watts with foot-switchable channels, of course great British tone powered by four EL84s. The cabinet has a nice open sound, as opposed to the sometimes overbearing low-end a fully closed cabinet can provide. Loaded with Celestion G12H speakers this combo is top notch! Today Trevor is plugging in his Eric Daw/Pinup Stratocaster for the demo.
    For more information about the amp or cabinet, please check out:

    Always delighted with the clean tones and touch sensitivity of Orange amps, especially with their reputation for distortion. Thanks!

    I remember being at a small concert and was a bassist at the time, didn’t know anything about guitars or amps, and I heard a insanely beautiful sustaining guitar solo and it was an orange ad30. That sound has been in my head for 17 years now.

    I was wondering after seeing your series on fun and affordable guitars if you guys could do a series on your WORST guitars. Not only would it be interesting, it might move some stock if people like them!

      Good concept ! They sorta did that a week or so with that orange (?) explorer type thing.
      Guy said "I know, it's hideous.....but its been set up and it plays great". It sold !!! Who knows how long it sat there (price drop may have helped ;)

    Very cool amp set. Peter Green used an Orange, too.
    Years ago, I viewed a Celestion vid that demo'd some of their 12's. The G12H was my fave..

  • @moustachio334

    The only thing close to AC30 is the D as this was Ades first amp for them. It's like a Plexi with a real eq pushing a compressed power section

    Too much talking. Then once he started to play all I could think is why is he saturating the sound with effects. Well the only conclusion I came to is that the amp sounds like crap on it's own. Salesmen will try and sell anything. They are so full of crap.

      They never went bankrupt. Two of their overseas distributors did so demand dropped quickly. Then hair metal hit. They continued through the 80s making small runs and custom orders. In '93 they licensed the name to Gibson. Cliff still owned the company though. The Gibson manufactured amps didn't sell to expectations so they didn't renew the license. Cliff relaunched the company in about '97 with their current amp designer and they've been successful ever since.
