Medium gain on the dirty channel... character of a 'Marshall crunch' with the 'precision' of a Mesa IMHO. Orange has always intrigued me with their take on what a big-ass tube amp should sound like. Depending on how you set them, they can be as bright and trebly as a Vox or a Marshall, but unlike the stereotypical "British-sounding" amp, you can get a very dark, sinister tone on the Rockerverb that sets it apart from the flagship series of those companies. When you start to use more of the gain on an Orange, past a certain point, you get a totally different brand of "meanness" out of it, like a new personality starts to surface... but, do that to a Marshall, past its sweet spot, and it will just continue to sound more like itself until you've maxed everything out and put the amp through the kind of punishment that is reminiscent of Lemmy (R.I.P.) lol. Oh, and the reverb on the Rockerverb is uniquely outstanding, which is where most 100-Watt, high gain amplifiers fall very short.
Gotta disagree on this one, the Orange can’t do golden age Marshall tones (60s, 70s, early 80s). They’re two completely different circuits, the Marshall has sort of a bark. A loud dynamic, detailed attack, while the Orange’s overdrive is very “fizzy” at its core. A classic Marshall sound has zero fizz in it. Add to this the fact that the Orange has perhaps the worst clean channel in the history of amps, and I would say the Orange loses the battle up until the high gain modern metal tone of the Orange kicks in.
I was excited about the gain but was hoping I would still be able to do what I could do with the cleans in the MK2. Disappointment there but still a great amp.
In order to understand: in case of having to buy a 100watt amp, you have to buy the head separated from the speaker?. Not intention to buy one but I'd like to know
It can get the hell out of that bro, in the studio that we use as a band we do covers of KSE and ATR covers with this head and exact same cab, we also play Gojira, Opeth, At The Gates etc.
its a limited run I think, its a les paul custom with the figured cherry burst, beautiful, but it costs over a grand more than the standard lp customs.
+Harry Emmott yeah I couldn't find it on their website, it looks like its a 2013 tri cherry burst. maybe one day they will bring it back in that color :(
Since nobody replied to u a month ago bud....here is ur answer!! Depends on the combo! Most of the combo amps that I have owned/seen have a “cab out” Jack, so the basic answer is, “yes!” U CAN hook a combo amp to a guitar cab just like an amp head! I would say the exception is gonna b like a super small combo, that doesn’t have any outputs. I personally own a line 6 spider amp, and that can be hooked to a cab, and I used to own a little Orange 15” combo, that not only had a cab output, it had a foot switch output so the dirty/clean Channel could be switched with a foot pedal! Hope that answered ur question!
@@donbarcomb5913 if you have your distortion, overdrive fuzz pedal hooked to the front of your amp, how can you plug your reverb delay pedal into your effects loop and then into your guitar. Thank y ou for answering my original question.
For all you tube amp owners out there: I'm thinking of purchasing my first all tube amplifier but a bit hesitant due to the articles and videos I have read or seen on the maintenance and problems that may exist with the tubes. Being that a person gets a top brand, how reliable are these amps? How often must one invest in new tubes? Can you change out the same tubes without biasing so that one could do this themselves? Thanks people, Garry.
@@funnyharleyman my advice, you get what you pay for. Digital is all the rave, solid state doesn't require much maintenance. They both are great amps, and really it just depends what you want. No matter what, you got to trust your gut, and just take the responsibility that comes with whatever you purchase. Make sure if you go tube, always let the amp warm up before you hit the standby, and always leave it on standby before you shut off the power. Thats really the key to longevity with tubes. I'd say also, if your amp has "bus fuses," find out what your amp uses and just buy them to keep on hand. The fuses do have a tendency to go out. But, it's fun to learn all that stuff. Tube, solid, digital. Hell, get one of each.
Rockerverb mk3 100 used on this recording ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vt9fXc1ClaY.html this track has 3 different keys and this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jmlg1IzWC0M.html pretty much straight head tone no boosts or overdrives
the gain is very loose and noisy once it's past the 12oclock point (halfway). Orange does not have a focused sound, best used for crunch work. not even clean because of the headroom, and Fender does it better anyway when it comes to clean sounds. Orange is lovely and warm only with a bit of gain. too much gain, way too loose.
sounds ok but not as good as one used by free guitarist paul kossoff diferent models...or gary moore but they used marshalls and gary more soldano player
Tubes are good and all but they are only good for clean sounds unless you have an effects pedal or a pedal board, which is all super expensive. I'll stick with my superior Line 6 Spider IV and sound way better for less.
