Calling experts on low(er)-wattage Orange heads

[avj]

I love my AD30HTC -- enough headroom for loud cleans and my absolute favorite overdriven sound. The two channels are voiced slightly different from one another, with one having a bit of emphasis in the high/low and the other in the mids; it's fairly subtle, but useful.

The other dudes in the band have a Dual Terror and the Jim Root Terror, which sounds amazing (surprisingly) and I believe is voiced like a Rockerverb 100. They are both great but definitely don't seem capable of delivering cleans of the same ilk at the volumes I can. Admittedly, there are plenty of variables like speaker efficiency and amp configuration, but just sharing my experience.

It also doesn't seem to suffer from the oft-mentioned inability to play well with pedals. I use largely the same setup I used for many years into a Fender Vibrosonic Reverb (Twin with a 15") with similarly pleasant results. The only change was being able to ditch a few ODs I had to use in "always-on" mode since I can now rely on the amp to deliver some overdrive without sterilizing the neighbors.

I have a micro terror and i think its great, i changed out the 12ax7 tube in it for an old radiotron from an old stereo as i found the jj that came with it to be a bit muddy for my liking(still sounded great though) also tried a Sovtek but didn't like it.
The output is also 4 ohm minimum so you can plug pretty much any cab in, im running it through a marshall 1960a cab but its currently on the stereo 8ohm(only using 2 speakers) setting as my Blackstar ht1 can only do 8ohm.
I did try it through the 4 ohm and 16 ohm and it sounded fine,its very loud and sooooo tiny.

id try one out, i did and bought it even though i didn't even need an amp( i went in to buy a pedal)
The gain on the amp also sounds fantastic

AD30HTC is my favourite Orange Amp.

always fancied the ad30r combo for the reverb sounds.
