Thoughts on an orange upgrade

[Progrockabuse]

So I've had my dual retro for a fair few years now and i love it to absolute bits. But recently I've had a proper lust for some reverb or time based effects. So thinking of upgrading to something with an fx loop. I still want to keep with orange and low wattage.

Thinking

TH30 (similar vibe to the dual terror)
Rockerverb 50 if I coukd stretch the budget

Ideas guys?

How low do you wanna go? I was tempted by the OR15 at one point because of its single-channel simplicity and the reviews I read were pretty positive (plus it has an FX loop). Being single-channel and high-ish gain it dirties up quick though.

I think we have different ideas of what constitutes "low" wattage

Well, the dual terror does 7/15/30. I generally use it on the 15 watt setting, but like knowing it will do 30 if needed.
Rockerverb still has the power scaling I think

Could a tech install an effect loop in your current amp? I seem to remember a kit being sold for the tt.

RV50!!! Love mine beyond belief, will never sell that amp. The master volume is really excellent so even low volumes sound good.
The mark II has supposedly got a few improvements, one being a better FX loop and less "crazy" reverb, though I'm happy with both on my MkI.

You can, but you can only have it on one channel. So you have to decide which one you want it wired to.

Your Rockerverb is the reason i play orange Amps

I used a TH100 in a practice studio a while back and it sounded really good, granted I was only using the clean channel + pedals but I was impressed - it was very loud and clean, just what I need.

Ah, fair enough. I'm not up to speed with Orange amps tbh.

The Tiny Terror has only one channel to begin with.

I'm sure there's a way to have the same loop that's active on both channels of an amp with two channels, most amps with loops have this.

Personally, I would prefer two loops (one for each channel). There are amps with this too, but it's not as common.

Of course, if you get a head modded you could run into problems that there's not enough space in there for the mods.

My main thought is do I sell the dual terror to help fund the new amp or keep it as its my best friend

[Bacchus]

Get yourself a real one!

A rockerverb 50 came up locally(ish) for $500 cad, wish I could swing it, would love to hear the difference from my rocker 30.
