After watching RUclips videos on Teles for the past 2 weeks I finally pulled the trigger and ordered one. Can’t wait to get my hands on it.

    I like how every review of Orange amps make a point of saying "if your looking for a clean amp it's probably not the amp for you" yet the clean sounds are pretty much always better sounding to me than those other holy grail clean amps like Fenders. I've had Fenders, Marshalls and Boogies but never had an Orange, and yet when I played an Orange it was the best sounding amp I had ever played but it was too expensive for me at the time. I think I just need to get one and quit dingle fritzing around. Thanks for the videos!

    I had the Rockerverb 50 in the 2X12 combo in the early 2000's. Much heavier than the head alone. It looked lonely so I bought the oversized Orange 2X12 cab as well.
    Looked great at home in the study (4X12 in total) but I dreaded the thought of ever having to take it anywhere due to the weight.
    I recall really liking both the clean and dirty channels. Eventually I traded the rig for something different.
    Years later (about a year ago) I was looking at small compact amps and found the Orange Rocker 15.
    Only volume on the clean channel but 3 band EQ on the drive side. No Reverb but these days I use pedalboards to sculpt my sound and the amp has an effects loop.
    It's very portable for little garage jams with friends.
    Combined with a couple of other portable amps that I have it really works well in Wet/Dry or Wet/Dry/Wet amp setups.
    I had missed the old Rockerverb 50 so this has satisfied my Orange craving and saved my aging back.

    I’ve had orange amps for several years now and each one has the orange tone. My go to combo is my rocker32 and then I have a rockerverb half stack, a ad30 sitting on a verticals 2x12, pedal baby, terror amps etc. I love them all and it’s become an addiction. The one thing I like stage wise is people look directly at your amp it’s intriguing to those who haven’t seen one and I’ve had other bands at festivals and bike rallies walk up and wanna play the amps. I’m a blues, and hard rock guy. These amps just shine. Mix one of these with a fender amp in stereo set up and it will blow your mind.

    I'm a bassist. I've been using the Orange Bass Terror for years. It's been beaten to hell over the years during gigs and has never let me down. That was enough to win me over. It sounds fantastic and could probably knock down a mountain if at need it to. I have the OR 15 for recording guitars. I get awesome cleans, throw a Klon clone in front and you have a perfect blues amp. Also have the Micro Terror for jamming. Can't go wrong.

    The RVs are pretty dark amps within the Orange Catalog. Models like the AD30 and CS50 achieve much different cleans with more chime, and the crunch character is also different. Once you start exploring the different models, you will find that Orange has a variety of tones to offer.

    I never liked Orange Amps myself until I demoed one at my local Guitar Center.
    I really wanted to play, but all the amps I frequent (Peavey, BOSS, Line 6, Blackstar, MESA) were being used by other people.
    The only 2 amps that were available were the Marshall and the Orange; both I've never personally tried. Thought I would like the Marshall, so I tried that one first and didn't much care for it. But when I tried the Orange, MAN, I was blown away.
    Not by any means my favorite amp, but definitely was not expecting it to sound so great 👍🏽

    Sears Silvertone Twin Twelve (mid-'60's) tube amp with great smooth character and sustain. Sold it to a budding young guitarist needing an amp and also to afford a new '68 Fender Twin Reverb.

One thing I would ask is when you do the demo's after the build could you please tell the amplification etc you are using? Keep up the great work, I'm spreading the word about your channel. Rock on, Nick. p.s. why do Canadians & Americans pronounce the word soLder as sodder?

      Sharp move the super crush is jfet which is probably as close to tube sound with solid state as you can get. No bright cap on the volume so great for pedals also it’s designed by the same guy that designed the rockerverb with the intention of making it sound like a rockerverb and he is fussy AF on tone so you know it’s gonna sound good. Have fun now.

    Hey I’m right there with you. All the rich kids played this amp when I was playing shows in highschool. I was always so jealous, even though my gear was perfectly fine. Eventually I actually heard it outside of a band setting and hated it. It took years for me to play one and realize the person who was playing it just had bad taste and set it up weird. Though personally I’d prefer their custom shop amp.

    I have a Fishman Loudbox Performer, several years old, that has way more power and headroom than I need. I bought it as a demo 'cause the price was right, and it's great for my acoustic-electrics, but I avoided using it with my straight-up electrics, for a long time, not trusting the all-digital sound profile. Over the years, however, and occasionally due to necessity, I've used it with a variety of electrics, and I've gradually come around to the point where I like its tone about as well as my Blues Junior. It's a genuine surprise.
