Members luke978 Posted March 24, 2008 Members Share Posted March 24, 2008 I want one. Anybody selling one? How well do they clean up? What's the deal with the effects loop on the series I heads? I understand that the loop is unbuffered and causes an 8db volume boost. I'm planning on running a delay in the loop and I'm worried it will distort a delay pedal. Does anyone know?

The AOR's are fine amps, all of them... they clean up fine because they aren't oozing with gain in the first place, and as for the loop.... if it has a volume mix control I wouldn't worry about it. There are also some very straight forward mods you can do to them that will turn them into monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Series II heads have a buffered loop, but the Series I has the better tranny's and components. I still can't believe they're so cheap.

The one I had liked to blow fuses though... if you experience that, then just get a fuse with .5A more rating - it will still blow if there's a major problem, but it won't blow sporadically.

Members luke978 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 24, 2008 Yeah, I'm just waiting for a good one to pop up. There are a couple of them on Ebay, but they look a little beat up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aibric Posted March 24, 2008 Members Share Posted March 24, 2008 How well the AOR cleans up depends on whether you have the eq boosts engaged and where you have the gain set at. Mine at least has a lot of gain when the eq boosts are engaged and doesn't clean up that great when set for a heavier sound. It will clean up a bit, but unless you're using low output pickups it will only clean up to a lower gain sound. Without any boosts engaged, it cleans up quite nicely and can go from a nice hard rock tone to fairly clean by rolling back your volume knob. My AOR has some mods but they're awesome amps stock as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cap'n'crunch Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 . There are also some very straight forward mods you can do to them that will turn them into monsters. Is that something you can share? Or is it top secret? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
