It’s literally the perfect amp. Two channels, super versatile, effects loop, loud enough to play almost any gig and power reduction for the bedroom. Take my money.
I just got one yesterday. It might be the best amp I’ve ever played. It does it all, and really well. I knew the dirt was going to sound good, but the clean channel is right up there with Fender cleans, I was shocked
@@dryanbuchanan I don’t have it anymore lol, because I got a killer deal on an OR50, which is a different sound altogether, but the TH30 is definitely heavier than what I have now. I’m not a metal guy, but I’d imagine it does a great job. I sold it to a metal player who was way into it. It’s heavy, like way heavy when you turn the gain up to around past 11 o’clock, like so much more than I’d ever use (as more of a classic rock gain and less guy). But it’s also really versatile, as you turn it up through all the gain stages, it does everything in between really well. I loved that amp, it was only a question of what I specifically wanted in an amp that I chose the OR50 in place of it, but the TH30 was capable of crazy chugging. I owned a dual rectifier too, and it could do that level (not the same sound, but the same, if not more gain) gainy stuff that the Mesa did. I think it’s honestly a great amp, no matter the style, and I think any metal player would love it, if I had to guess. It’s badass
I just got one too, very satisfied but damn it is loud ! Tech guy checked it and told me it delivers more arround 45W than 30 ahah I just have an issue, I feel like the dirt channel sounds Fuzzy, specially when using high string. Is it my hears or may I have an issue with the head ?
This gave me everything I needed in under 5 mins with zero talking. Subscribed! Also I need this amp now. I have a Tiny Terror but I think I need an upgrade with an effects loop.
An amp review that's actually a review of an amp's tones? Outrageous! I'll show you, I'll like and subscribe... that'll teach you. Seriously, great f*cking job man.
I have a th30. I love it. I don't know what it is but it has this luscious thick tone on the neck pickup on my Les Paul Custom, no other amp has got near it!
Owned a combo version of this amp. The clean channel is just unmatched. The gain channel might be not everyone's cup of tea. Unfortunatelly it had some issues and I had to get it repaired twice. Soundwise this amp was superb, I loved it.
ive been playing thru a grandmeister 50 by h&k, i did a trade for a used great condition th30 yesterday. its playing thu a marshal 2 x 12 w celestials cabinet ,now im wondering if it would be an even sound if i paired it with a v30 cab?my brother was a musician ,was a year older then me he passed in 96 and left me with a 72 les paul deluxe, a fender strat and a pair of martins a d28 and a d35,kinda started playing in my bros honor.i learn alot from these videos and all of you guys are all really kool and know your stuff,me not so much,sorry for ramblin
I have one in the mail. All the other videos of guys trying to make this a metal amp with so much playing in dropped tuning and palm muting that I can’t hear the AMP. You’ve made me feel happy about my purchase.
I've got one with a 1x12 and an open back 2x12 and it sounds fantastic. Using it with a Helix and splitting it or one line it still sounds great, just love it to bits. Get out and buy one, even if you turn the power right down it'll still keep the room warm! Can't praise it highly enough.
@@lewiskeller93 I can't see why not but, as it's not my area I couldn't be certain. It handles everything else! Just borrow or buy one, they do sound great.
It's actually the best amp I ever had, the thing is the ox box wasn't out or showed much in the market at that time, it's fucking loud and great that way
I use one of these in my stage rig. Cleans are superb, and high gain sounds are absolutely crushing. Twist 2 knobs and you have endless tonal possibilities. My Only gripe is that mine has an EXTREMELY touchy volume knob on the clean side. Hard to find the sweet spot between too loud or too quiet.
i've had one for a few years. Loved the clean, but it was so loud compared to the dirty channel. For my the shape knob was only useable between 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock. Eventually sold it. Stil miss the clean channel though.
Man... i think that's the most beautiful sounding amp that I ever heard... I WILL HAVE ONE SOMEDAY. Here in Brazil he's expensive af... It's like 6000 for just the head... The amp takes another 1200
Yes, I'm hoping to do a TH30 vs DT then maybe a big mini amp comparison using the cab. Very impressed with it, the speakers are great and it's very light 👍
Hey dude! Two questions. Can you tell me what position on the cab you placed your SM57 in this video? Also, how close was the back of the cab to the wall(how much “breathing room” did the open back of the cab have, essentially)? Love your recorded tones here.
Hey! That Orange PPC212V cab with neo cream backs really suits these amps. Mic would have been where the dust cap meets the cone. I’ve found that works best on most speakers. The edge of the mic will just be lined up with where the dust cap ends, then the rest of the mic is on the cone. Distance wise - if you lay your hand flat on the table it’s 3 fingers widths away from the amp (around 5cms). This is just to reduce the proximity effect. If you want more chunk than this move the mic closer to the cab 👍 in terms of being away from the wall it’s close to the fake wall thing I have but that’s super thin, behind that there’s a gap of about 2 foot before the outer wall. I find the room only makes a difference when you really crank it, you can get more low end when it’s nearer a corner of the room but it’s only really heard if you use room mics 👍
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos Thanks for the quick reply man. Do you happen to remember if you used any post EQ on these tones? Also, did you always have the setting in the back set to 4 valves? Thanks!
I think it would have been ran in 4 tube mode unless otherwise said. No post EQ on the SM57 apart from high pass at 70Hz. I may have used a stereo room pair of ribbons to supplement the 57 although it would of been very low, literally just to add that sense of room sound 👍
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos Awesome thanks for the help man. Last question. In your opinion does the distance the back of the cab is from the wall affect the mic’d up sound from the 57? Thanks.
Hi. Big thanks for this demo! This is partly a reason why I own this amp right now. But i notice a difference. How your cleans so... Clean? On my setup it started to break up on 2-3 (8-9 o'clock). But you play clean on 5( 12 oclock) fantastic. Did I miss something? Thanks
Hey, cool thanks. Everything was done with Guitar straight in. Only thing I can think of with the level is that the Harley Benton Strat I was using had quite low output pickups. If I used a guitar with hot humbuckers it would probably break up that early. If it's single coils you are using then I have no idea about the difference 😂
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos Thanks! My Tele with single coils, but they probably too hot. And if some, sorry for my English. Not native, may be there are some mistakes. Good luck!
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos Thanks. I read a lot but have not enought speaking experience. Your answer gave me some thoughts. I tried to experiment with TH30 and my Tele. Guitar has too hot pick-ups,r eally.I crank a clean channel to 8 or 9 and set my volume knob to 30-50%. And it's the best clean sound I ever heard from my guitar.
Just getting interested in Orange. Trying the Terror 15 but find the ‘natural’ channel way too dark to really use, a clean boost helps a lot. So naturally I’m concerned here with only a ‘shape’ knob for tuning the dirty channel. Why couldn’t they spring for just one more knob!?!?
I use a clean boost with treble and bass controls in the loop on my Brent Hinds Terror to brighten the natural channel up. Works like a charm. I rarely ever use the clean though, now that I tuned my Swollen Pickle to work amazingly with the dirty channel. I don't play any real cleans, and typically only used the clean channel on my previous Blackstar for my channel to use muff style fuzz on. the Orange is the first amp I have found that will sound great running a fuzz on the dirty channel.
Hey, it's not a massive drop in level. The good thing with all the Orange stuff is they have a very good taper on the volume controls. They bedroom very well. But you aren't going to get power amp distortion without bothering the neighbours. I used to have a 1 watt amp and that on full was still too loud if you have close neighbours 👍
Do You have 30w mode on to avoid power amp distortion? And lower power pickups? Do You think that preamp clips or power amp? If Your pickups are to hot, there is one more option - attenuate pickup signal on a booster - gain
Right when the Marshall Dsl100HRs came out I had to decide between it or a used Th30. I went with the Marshall and couldn't be happier. I'm certain I would have been happy with the orange also but the Marshall is so versatile and the HR Dsl's are the best yet. They really have all the vintage marshall tones and modern marshall tones. I could use the Marshall till I die and not want for anything tone wise. But it would be nice to have a TH30 just because why not lol. Great demo btw!
I own a Mk1 and currently have a Mk3 to make some videos. Clean channels across the board are pretty similar. Gain wise I probably prefer TH30, it sounds great under a mic and fits really nicely in a mix 👍
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos great to know. I’ve been fiending for a rockerverb hard lately and am selling gear toward a 50 mkiii. Very excited to watch your videos on it!
Great demo. Thank you. Would you say this amp is loud enough for unmic’d gigs (Pub size)? Also do you know if the construction is real wood or particle board?
I'm torn between getting a OR15 or a Rocker 15, or maybe a TH30. I'm after some good crunch tones for more break up, classic rock/heavy style. Suggestions?
Heavy-wise I like the TH30 + Dark Terror, For Classic rock OR15 + Rocker are great . Also Dual Terror is great for classic sounds, maybe the best of all of them 👍
I’m so on the fence with the 212 Vertical. Some videos make it sound great while others, not so much. Any advice? I’m wanting a 212 but can’t decide since I haven’t been able to hear the vertical in person.
I think it suits some amps more than others. The Dark Terror, Rocker and TH30 sound great with it. I'd argue even better than a V30 loaded cab. However my Tiny Terror sounds best through a V30 cab. I think the vertical has a little less low end which really suits the fatter sounding Orange amps. If I was gigging I'd go for the the vertical anyways as it's WAY lighter 👍
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos Thank you so much for the reply. Love your channel! Which do you think would be the go-to Orange cab for the OR15? Love that amp, but currently running it through a budget friendly Harley Benton.
Cheers. The Orange vertical cab would pair great with the OR15. The Harley Benton with V30s is great and is my daily driver, but the one without V30s is a bit lacking 👍
The Rocker sounds thicker, I prefer the TH30 especially with Les Pauls/SGs. If you use a Tele/Strat the Rocker will suit it better. Both are good choices 👍
Think of this amp for a greenbacks 4x12 in 16 ohm cab and any vintage P90 axe. My cup of tea right now. Also swap the tubes for a better brand. Thanks for reading.
hi, the amp sounds so good. have you ever played the mesa mini rectifier? I can buy a th 30 for 600 euros or a mini recto for 600 euros too, I don't know what to choose. what do you suggest for a green day pop punk style? and some blink 182? thanks
Never played a mini rectifier, 600 for one is a really good deal. TH30 dirty channel is similar to the dark terrors and Rob Chapman used a DT + mini recto together for a bit. Check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/v4P-gea4yDc/v-deo.html
@@Walkerbjj I have an OR15 even in it’s 7 Watt setting I can’t play with the volume knob past 7 o’clock. That’s basically the first notch. I’d imagine this amp is just as loud if not louder. 3rd party attenuators are a solution but they’re so expensive
I’m gonna be honest, this amp does not sound like this in person. Especially the dirty channel. From the one I owned the dirty channel was incredibly flubby and wasn’t good for what I wanted to play. Try one out for yourself before you buy one instead of using a video for reference. Videos make them sound way better than they sound in person trust me.
@@alastairwilson8245 that’s a bummer. I was really looking into purchasing this myself. It’s hard to tell which amp sounds good in person as it does on UA-cam and it sucks cause sometimes it’s hard to play stuff before buying. What amp are you playing now ?
Nathan Brown its plenty loud for that. I chose a Marshall 20 watt jubilee since the Orange dirty tones aren’t for me. But this amp has more than enough headroom to play clean in a small club in full power mode! Actually, the cleans were very nice!
It’s literally the perfect amp. Two channels, super versatile, effects loop, loud enough to play almost any gig and power reduction for the bedroom. Take my money.
I just got one yesterday. It might be the best amp I’ve ever played. It does it all, and really well. I knew the dirt was going to sound good, but the clean channel is right up there with Fender cleans, I was shocked

The best clean sound orange ever came out with IMHO. The way it breaks up at higher volume is just superb.
This was probably the best amp demo video I've ever seen. I don't mean the amp itself, but the demonstration of the amplifier. Bravo.
Thanks mate 👍
It wasn't until halfway through the video that I realized it wasn't the FUNNIEST amp, but the FUNNEST ...lol
Pmsl mee too ,, I was waiting for him to say I put the clean channel on volume 1 and the dirty on 8 and the clean was still louder
HAHAHAHA SAMEEE
HAHAHAHA SAMEEEEEE HERE
Could be Mexican or Canadian colloquialism ?… In English it’s “most fun” and in America we say “most funnest”.

Yeh it's great at low volume 👍but really starts to roar as you turn in up in the 30W mode.
For those who are interested in this information...yes ...keep the volume at 1.. And still with gain you can enjoy beautiful tones
Another magic review.
Tones very suitable for black metal rockn roll like Kvelertak :) (they use Rockerverbs though)
is it really all tube if it’s not tube rectified 🧐
You just changed my mind on Orange's dirty channel! I should try them out in my local store.
FULL Power = Pentode
HALF Power = Triode
How the HELL are you able to turn the clean volume up that high. I can't take mine past 3 without squinting....HOW?
Do You have 30w mode on to avoid power amp distortion? And lower power pickups? Do You think that preamp clips or power amp? If Your pickups are to hot, there is one more option - attenuate pickup signal on a booster - gain
mostly depends on how hot are pickups.

I’m playing with this one now.what’s the ideal speaker cab? I have a chance to get the Orange 4x12 Celestion v30s
That would sound great. I used an Orange PPC212V which had Celestion Neobacks in the video, but V30s match Orange’s perfect 👍
I own a TH30c combo amp. Amazing. Buy it. It is loud though. I usually keep it at 7w smh
looking at getting this exact combo but I've yet to have someone sell me on the 212v and the neodymium creambacks over the v30 212

Hi, Please, could you tell which one is the best cabinet that I can connect to this amp in order to enjoy the best performance? Thank you.
I really like the Orange PPC 212V. It’s a vertical 2x12 which I used for this demo and matches Orange amps great 👍
Is there any difference except the colour between the black and orange covered th30’s?
No difference, same exact amp 👍
if you're gonna get an Orange......
get it in orange
What song is the Riff you are playing at 2:26 from? (power attenuation section). Awesome Amp!
Chord progression sounds like Greenday - Welcome to Paradise
Also Sum 41 - Thanks for nothing on previous section
How would you say this compares tonally to the Rocker 15 Terror?
The Rocker sounds thicker, I prefer the TH30 especially with Les Pauls/SGs. If you use a Tele/Strat the Rocker will suit it better. Both are good choices 👍
What did you mic this with and where on the speaker if you don't mind me asking?
SM57 where the dustcap meets the cone, about 2" away from the grill cloth 👍
Think of this amp for a greenbacks 4x12 in 16 ohm cab and any vintage P90 axe. My cup of tea right now. Also swap the tubes for a better brand. Thanks for reading.
hi, the amp sounds so good. have you ever played the mesa mini rectifier? I can buy a th 30 for 600 euros or a mini recto for 600 euros too, I don't know what to choose. what do you suggest for a green day pop punk style? and some blink 182? thanks
Never played a mini rectifier, 600 for one is a really good deal. TH30 dirty channel is similar to the dark terrors and Rob Chapman used a DT + mini recto together for a bit. Check it out here:

Have this amp love it
I want this amp so bad because Oasis used it on their earlier tracks
recommend over the OR15 for home and small gig??? same 212v...
TH30 goes much louder clean and has 2 channels. TH30 is more modern sounding whilst OR15 is vintage voiced. Both great options just different 👍
This would be great with a p90 sg to get some gnarly Iommi tones
This all seems kind of cool, but isn't the only disadvantage that you can't switch between clean and dirty via foot pedal?
You can, it has a footswitch jack on the back 👍
Hi, what reverb do you use on the clean sound ?
Most likely a Line 6 Pod XT in the fx loop with everything off apart from the verb 👍
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos Thx, it sound amazing
Don’t buy this unless you don’t have neighbours. It is extremely loud
or just get an attenuator
even with the volume low its too loud for an apartment?
@@Walkerbjj I have an OR15 even in it’s 7 Watt setting I can’t play with the volume knob past 7 o’clock. That’s basically the first notch. I’d imagine this amp is just as loud if not louder. 3rd party attenuators are a solution but they’re so expensive
How does the strat sound dirty?
Very good through the TH30 + DT especially with the ppc212v speaker cabinet, tames the highs nicely 👍
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos Great. Thank you.
I’m gonna be honest, this amp does not sound like this in person. Especially the dirty channel. From the one I owned the dirty channel was incredibly flubby and wasn’t good for what I wanted to play. Try one out for yourself before you buy one instead of using a video for reference. Videos make them sound way better than they sound in person trust me.
Just had the same experience. Couldn't get this head to sound anything like UA-cam and that was using different cabs and speakers.
@@alastairwilson8245 that’s a bummer. I was really looking into purchasing this myself. It’s hard to tell which amp sounds good in person as it does on UA-cam and it sucks cause sometimes it’s hard to play stuff before buying. What amp are you playing now ?
EVH 5150 LBX S :-)
Idk what kind of tones yall were dialing in, I played one in a store today and sounded even better than YT
@@PHELCAN I think when people are struggling to get a decent sound out of an amp like this, it's rarely the amp's fault, tbh ;)
Does it have headroom to stay tight at loud drummer volume
Nathan Brown its plenty loud for that. I chose a Marshall 20 watt jubilee since the Orange dirty tones aren’t for me. But this amp has more than enough headroom to play clean in a small club in full power mode! Actually, the cleans were very nice!
Yeh definitely loud enough in the dirty. Cleans will get a little gritty with a very loud drummer 👍
Yes
Check out Tobacco Road (on you tube)from War the guitarist and bass player both play through Orange stax and absolutely Crush it....
Visually striking as well...
So... How about th30 vs th100?
Orange or Marshall, can't make up my mind.
I tend to play with alot of gain pedals and low tunings.
I'buy this amp 6 month ago.... just buy it
Si le das más de la mitad de volumen al canal limpio te satura y es imposible que te suene "clean" y fuerte 😕
1:58 how you remind me-nickelback?
Thanks for Nothing - Sum 41 👍 Although is very similar
I thought it was Boulevard Of Broken Dreams lol
This or the DT30?
Dual terror for more classic sounds. TH30 for more modern 👍
1.57 sum 41?
Yeh 👍
