Orange finally redesigned their POS website
Moderated By: mods
Last time I saw her "playing" a guitar on TV, she stopped strumming during chord changes. She obviously didn't have my guitar teacher who used to smash me on the back of the hand with a capo and scream "I DONT CARE IF ALL THE FUCKING NOTES ARE RINGING, OR IF YOU'RE EVEN PLAYING THE RIGHT CHORD, YOU NEVER STOP STRUMMING"
Valuable lesson, actually.

Isn't that fairly new? I haven't heard it yet, so I'll be the judge of how Orange it really is. Isn't it also the production(PCB) version of the fancy Namm one?Mike wrote:The new OR50 is as old school Orange as you can get and not insanely priced.jcyphe wrote:They should re-design their company to make an Orange that soundz like a real Orange and isn't a gazillion dollars.

Yes, but seriously don't tell me you think you can hear a difference between PCB and PTP construction of the same circuit.
It is new and I've heard some NAMM clips of it (I know) and it does sound very oldschool Orange Foggy and throaty. It's a single channel and you can pull the Master Volume out of the circuit. They're making those 40 handmade (and slightly different circuits in each one) amps each with a girls name and the OR50 is the production model. It's still a cool amp.

Yeah i was just looking at demos on Youtube, it sounds wack. Way too much modern sounding gain. I don't think it's very fuzzy at all. The old Orange's have this unedniable saturated "fuzz" quality. It might be the crappy demo'er. Also i don't like PCB for vintage amps, it's not hard to do p2p, especially since they're making so many amps in China. If that's the way they built the old ones, and you're trying to get that sound, why not just replicate the construction. Also i would never pay that much money for a PCB amp. The advantage of the p2p wiring is that it's always repairable by any good amp tech.
I like these videos. Right or wrong I associate these with an "orange" sound.

I think you guys are in a better place than us for PTP being in the states, you can get made kits from Ceriatone or many boutique builders for less than you can buy British mass produced PCB amps. Over here Oranges and Marshalls are way cheaper than the PTP amps as the people who do it in England are extortionate and shipping from America is very expensive with all that iron. I agree that of course it's easier to fix but in terms of economics there is no comparsion. RoI on PCB is ridiculously high.jcyphe wrote:Also i would never pay that much money for a PCB amp.

I think those videos sounded Vintage Orange to me, but they definitely were using less gain than that twat in the video, and also more volume it seems. the Tradeshows make you play quiet. there has been the suggestion they have overgained the OR50 though.
