Congrats... that is awesome...

The best pedals I have found with an Orange in my experience is....

-OCD
-Catalinbread Silver Kiss MKII American Edition (great with DT or TT cuz has EQ)
-Made by me and modded TS808 (GGG Kit)
-Big Muffs (EQD Hoof, built by me Mayo, Madbean board)
-Made by me DAM MeatHead (Mike's Layout)
-Catalinbread Super Charged OD

These are the 6 winners in my eyes out of the 20+ I have tried

I would say my very favorites are my Silver Kiss and Big Muff (My Earthquaker Devices Hoof or my built by me MadBean Mayo)

The thing that I have found in reality is that I don't need or want a dirt pedal with my Orange. Nothing I have found has beaten the Orange drive channel for me. Just a clean boost to kick it up that extra notch when needed and am sorted.

Ok so I had a bit of a play earlier Rob and here is what I found.

1) Amp setting: Dirty channel, on verge of breakup (gain at about 9 - 10 o'clock I guess)
Pedals:
FN5 - Gain at noon.
Sounds pretty good - but the character of the pedal doesn't really come through. Sounds more like some sort of generic drive. Had to have the tone knob up full otherwise was a bit muddy.
DLS - Gain at 2 o'clock.
Sounded better, or at least more distinct than the FN5. Probably because it is an inherently cleaner pedal.
Zvex SHO - Gain at noon.
Worked really well kicking the amp into overdrive and retained the tone fo the amp for the most part. I guess adds the tone of the SHO but this works well with the darkness of the amp.
Carbon Copy - short-ish delay set
Compared to on the clean channel it was MUCH more pronounced even with the regen and mix turned down some. I never use delay other than on the clean so was surprising how different it sounded. Difficult to get a subtle delay sound when on the drive channel.

2) Amp setting: Dirty channel, gain at 1 - 2 o'clock (this is a decent amount of gain)
Pedals (same settings):
FN5 - Quite mushy/muddy. Character of pedal didn't come through and just masked the lovely amp drive.
DLS - Again, just got quite muddy, much of the same as above.
SHO - Worked pretty well, but got quite noisy, still not muddy though.
CC - MASSIVELY pronounced. I would say unusable from my point of view.

Didn't have chance to test the FRV-1 reverb but probably wouldn't use it with this amp anyway.
If I have time I'll have a go at comparing having the delay in the loop.

Thanks for that thom. Much appreciated.

I'm thinking that I should get hold of a super hardon and try that out.
