Riffster 345 Report post Posted January 9 I had been tempted to buy an Orange OR15 for a while but never saw a good deal locally until last week. This head and cab, a 2x12 with Celestions V30 was listed for $700 in new condition, I offered $650 cash and offered to pick it up. A sweet, sweet deal, even included cable. Retail is $1,450 on this. This thing rocks. Without further ado. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riffster 345 Report post Posted January 10 Thanks guys, this amp is awesome, definitely a different voicing from my other amps which is a good thing. It looks like the speakers are not broken and and that makes a different on V30's so i'll keep on playing through it an crank it in the first opportunity. Lately I have been running my other amps through a Weber attenuator even though they have drive/gain knobs as they sound more open. This Orange has a hard clipping voicing, not sure how to describe it, I'll play through it as is and then use the attenuator to see the difference. This thing looks awesome, i'll probably flip the orange logo on the cab since I am planning to leave it on its side. The other nice thing about it is that I can use this cab with my Marshall and Mesa heads for even more variety of sounds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rct 1,185 Report post Posted January 10 This Orange has a hard clipping voicing, not sure how to describe it... In the 70's we called it "clank", "clanky". Orange and HiWatt did that, Fender had a couple powerful amps that were that way too, Dual Showman, Dual Professional. Super headroom, super mids, it took three Big Muffs in a row to get any grind out of them kinds of amps! Nice amp! Good luck with it. rct Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karloff 390 Report post Posted January 10 excellent rig. a friend of mine has a OR15 and loves it. I use to have that cab. they sound great but they weigh a ton. wound up buying 2 1x12 cabs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riffster 345 Report post Posted January 11 I don't find the cab overly heavy is just hard to carry by a single person because of its dimensions. I do not gig so it's alright but if I do take it out for a jam I'll use a dolly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riffster 345 Report post Posted January 14 I flipped the cab logo and didn't bother with the silly crest. I think it looks better this way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
