Members -DOOM- Posted December 25, 2006 Members Share Posted December 25, 2006 Hey Hey - Please comment. I keep hearing horror stories about reliability issues / duds with respect to the new Oranges - most notably the Rockerverb series it would seem. I'm looking to get my hands on a AD140 and need opinions from those with first hand knowledge on reliability and/or any common probs that may exist. Cheers.........

Members The Evil Dr. X Posted December 25, 2006 Members Share Posted December 25, 2006 I had one, it buzzed at idle, it sounded like crap, I hated it and sold it within a few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Radiohead, lol Posted December 26, 2006 Members Share Posted December 26, 2006 haven't tried an AD140, but I used a new AD30HTC a few days ago that buzzed like crazy..it was sort of like the sound you get if you touch the end of a guitar cable when it's plugged into a high gain amp (not that I do that...) although it wasn't real noticable when I was playing. I have a new rocker 30, and it has been reliable so far. (got it about a month ago). I've used it with the volume around 8 for hours at a time, and it's still working perfectly. Maybe there are some good and some bad ones. just make sure you test it out completely before you take it home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members relva3 Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 i've got the ad30, and its been a good amp. no buzzing or any other problems at all. the ad140's that have passed by have been in good shape too, no problems. i would recommend a tube change, it helped mine get up to full speed.

Members Blackwater Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 I've got a rockerverb100 that is dead silent even at high gain? never let me down once. Has a auto 50 switch when a tube blows so you can finish a set if you blow a tube...amazing idea if you ask me. Oh and it sounds like orange tonal bliss!!

Members duncan Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 i had an AD140 for a little bit. it was great for the first bit i had it (it was a floor model for about a year before i bought it). about a month after i picked it up, the power tubes failed. that's about it though. replace the stock tubes.
