The Orange OR50 & TH30 Prototypes
Вставка

- Ade and John took some time out to take a look at the Orange prototype bench. The two of them discuss the way Ade designs amplifier and how they become production models. After picking their favourite they popped into the demo room to fire them up.
Part one includes the OR50 and the TH30 and cups of tea!
People like Ade are the reason good amps are still being made by A company thats as big as Orange, he's not some hotshot trying to cut as many corners component-wise to maximize profit, he cares more about what his ear thinks rather than his wallet.
Good bloke, he makes A honest amplifier.
Ade cares, yeah. Then he hands the prototype circuit off to whatever team designs the PCB layout and, as Ade mentions, implements modern safety features (this is usually an overseas company) and at some point the company bean counters and certain components will be swapped for others that meet a lower price point but still have tolerance that lives up to the reputation of the company. Ultimately the production amp will be suitable, but may lack in compared to the prototype.
@@MuscleDad420 you are definitly a dad :)
The TH30 is so underrated. It has one of the best clean while the dirty channel can get pretty ferocious. Great versatile amp!
I love his enthusiasm as he plays downpayment blues in the beginning. He knows rock tone like no other because of his ac/dc affection.
I could watch hours worth of this stuff
Not Playing in fact I do watch hours of this stuff😂😂😂
Man this video format is perfect, 1 amp per side, technical explanation of the thought process behind each design. Thanks for sharing! I would love to hear about the AD200 ;)
The clean on the TH30 is one of the best sounds I’ve ever heard. I played one last week with a Nash strat and bought it the next day.
Ade is so great, been there for their whole comeback. He's a mad scientist, love listening to him!
This is awesome. Wish the OR100 and 50 were still in production as well as the Thunderverb 200. All such killer amps.
Enjoyed that, would have loved to have heard more of the TH30 prototype.
Yes! Especially the dirty channel
We need more about the TH30!
Man I love my Or50... wish Orange never discontinued it
I could watch this all day. Great vid!!
I love my 40th OR50!
At 2:41 when Ade strikes that first chord, that's it. That's THEE tone. I want that
The TH30 is an incredibly flexible amp. The clean channel is worth the price on its own.
Oh man those TH30s shound really Fu$&in good. especially in my living room on top of my PPC 212.
I have mine on top of a PPC212 open back and PPC212 closed back.
tyler a amen!.... I have the exact setup, closed back cab.... My dream rig is the dual dark 100 and a matching black 4x12 cab.... Orange rules!....
I love with my th30! ❤️ Ade you are the freaking man!!! Great video 🤙
The OR50 and OR100 production models are such amazing amplifiers. Shame they were DC'd.
I got an OR100 🍊❤️❤️❤️
TH30 is The One which got me into Orange. Now I have RV50mk3 and I am in heaven, but TH30 will be always in my heart!
I love it mates! Great stuff
Awesome video. Would love to hear about the AD50 and Retro50 prototypes and where they fit in with the OR50 and CS50.
Great video! Can't wait to see more
This opening sounds good!
This is truly awesome
I own an or50 production model... It's my go too amp now for british rock stuff. Tried lots of overdrive pedals to add versatility but none come close to the amps own drive...seems to be suited toward humbucker guitars more but can still get nice "strat" tones. guitar volume or eq is the way forward with this amp. Or set every thing at 12 o'clock and boost amp with a clear boost. Just love it. The volume switch is good for solo boost if using an overdrive pedal because disengaging the master volume actually makes the amp appear cleaner when using the amps natural drive.
Have owned a TH30 head I run thru an Orange 212 or 112 cab. Play Les Pauls and Sg’s and it is just great rock n roll tone. The ability to switch between 30,15 or 7 watts make it great for home studio or gigs.
I do wish you had not stopped production of the OR50. the little I heard on the demo was amazing. It cleaned up so well, even with hunbuckers.
Ade is the coolest.
Th30 is a beast for the bucks🤘one of the best amp I ever owned. You put that thing on dirty channel and set it low gain clean and it blues like nothing else, with a tube effect loop that makes your effects sound better than ever
Please do more of these.
I want to apprentice under this guy
any more of these coming? I would love to see the prototypes for the first AD series amps
Tube amp Kung foo master... great video.
Love this
Thank You
Awesome content! More please because I also could watch hours of this stuff! So did the CS50 get the mellow or angry setting? It is an incredible amp, but it doesn’t seem as “pissed off” as the OR50.
Ade might be the most British sounding man I've ever heard
I would love to see the or100 and rockerverb mark 3 protos would be so cool
What a job.
Did he really just touch the open Amp ... man this dude is in godmode
As long as you don't touch something hot and touch somewhere else and add yourself to the circuit you're fine.
BRING BACK THE OR50!!!
Someone once said the th30 was fender based? Not sure what that meant
Will The Rocker 15 Have a Similar Voicing to that OR50??
So is this Stereo John? Heard of him from Ade In a QnA.
Down Payment Blues
Austin Powers rockin brother......yeah baabby
but is it safe to say that most orange amps have that mid range character hat made their hay whatever tho that sound is classic
Noiice cappp ah tee!
Not to sound rude or anything, But Ade looks like a young Mark Farmer from Grand Funk Railroad. agree or disagree
Is that the real Nigel Tufnel?
REally too much EL84 in the Orange line, it's suck, it' a really poor tube...
Glad I kept watching until he started talking about wire and component differences. I designed audio cables for a decade and you're a fool or deaf if you think there is no difference in components and wire.
