Members spawnofthesith Posted January 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 Congrats man! How beastly does it get?Thanks dude! Its definitely not like an ENGL or other "modern metal" amps. I mean it can get into that territory, but vintage high gain is what it does best. The amount of gain is there, but its a very loose and open type of gain. I've been playing a lot more doom/stoner/sludge lately, and have a potential band in that style starting up soon, so thats a big part why I opted to get this thing. Hopefully this amp will make it down to Colorado Springs unlike the last two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nexbot Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 There's a bunch of orange factory restocks on the cheap on the MF/GC websites, and you get the full warranty still with those :poke: (I saved $500 on my Thunderverb by going that route) What is a factory restock exactly?

Members spawnofthesith Posted January 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 What is a factory restock exactly? Basically it means that the amp was returned to Orange, and it gets checked and repaired if necessary, then sent back out to be sold at a lower price. I don't know the situation for all amps, but I have concluded that mine was used for the Sweetwater Gearfest '10, and then returned to the factory. And judging by the sheer number of factory restock Oranges popping up on GC/MF, my gut tells me that they were all from the gearfest in an Orange booth or something. But that part is just my conjecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members spawnofthesith Posted January 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 Ok, did a few more quick and dirty clips. Comparison clip between the clean on channels A and B. Both set with flat EQs and the same gain levelhttp://www.netmusicians.org/files/59-channelABcleancomparison.mp3Then some of just channel B cleanhttp://www.netmusicians.org/files/88-channelBclean.mp3Then some light breakup on channel Bhttp://www.netmusicians.org/files/26-channelBlightbreakup.mp3Some bits and pieces of the song Dragonaut by Sleephttp://www.netmusicians.org/files/66-dragonaut.mp3And finally some Electric Wizard using my Swollen Pickle fuzzhttp://www.netmusicians.org/files/75-returntrip.mp3All the clips were done with mostly flat EQs, I haven't done too much tweaking yet.

Members Dolf Posted January 30, 2011 Members Share Posted January 30, 2011 I really need to play one of these. All the clips make it sound very similar to the things I like about the Rocker 30 only with a {censored} {censored} ton more gain. Of course, I don't need a {censored} {censored} ton more gain, but c'est la vie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need to work on my recording technique/mic placement more What's your recording chain? Sounds like you've got the mic ON the grill, lots of proximity effect going on, back it off about 2" from the grill and maybe 1/2" from the dust cab to tame the bass a little.

Members superflyinmonke Posted January 30, 2011 Members Share Posted January 30, 2011 That's a really sexy looking amp. Not my style at all, but I do respect the tone. I love their cabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM57 -> Presonus Firebox -> reaper. You're right, I am on the grill, I'll have to try backing it off, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you feel like spending an extra $60 you could pick up an MXL 990 for a little room ambience, works great as it's cheap and doesn't need to sound amazing since you're just mixing it in slightly. Sounds good man, just a few tweaks to make it sound more "room-like" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
