  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
