one of the filthiest oh yes but also so versatile ! i have one even if i'm mostly a blues and fusion-jazz guy, it works so good !!! i also have the 2x12 with the g12 neo creambacks but i changed the speakers they were to floppy in the low end to my taste, so i ended up with greenbacks G12H55 and now its just amazing ! if you want to check, i recorded it on a jazz rock song with a torpedo live (greenback G12H55) : ua-cam.com/video/m67GQqV0Wag/v-deo.html guitar starts at 2:25 min and 4:50 min ;) AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ! i really enjoy watching your content !
If you hadn't told me all of the sounds you got were from a SINGLE CHANNEL and I was only listening to the audio, I would have guessed you had at least 2 or 3 different amps. That is an insane amplifier. May need to start saving my pennies. Also, that Crush Mini into an expansion cabinet is actually really impressive for the size. I could see it being used as an accent sound for layering guitar sounds.
The range on the distortion channel is crazy, if you want to get real nasty and doomy with it you can push it into hairy fuzz territory too. The little Crush amps are some of the best solid states around, they just need a big enough cabinet to shine.
@@ScienceofLoud I'm amazed with it took this long for manufacturers to realize that a speaker out jack to a bigger cab could make their little practice amps sound less like a dinky toy and more like something you'd actually want to use for lower volume practice. Even more shocking is that it wasn't Boss with their Katana Mini.
@@WastedLimbs I thought I could replace it with different pedals from other brands and it turns out that nothing I own quite does what the TI Boost does.
I’ve tried boosting it with a Boss SD-1 on my Boss GT-1000, and while I do enjoy the kind of muddy yet monstrous tone you get from the tube screamer, the SD-1 takes it to brand new territory.
Tubescreamer-type ODs never work with Orange amps in my opinion. It's mids on top of mids. I totally agree about the Treble-booster, and a humble Boss BD-2 works well with Oranges too.
Firstly, this is easily my favorite gear channel now. I'm always learning something here, it's always entertaining and there's always killer riffs 🤘 I've been ping-ponging between amp choices for awhile but I'm going to pull the trigger on a Rockerverb 50 this week and a lot of my choice is due to this video. Thanks! 🤘
I really appreciate this channel. Definitely one of the better guitar related channel on YT. Keep up the good work, and keep the disclosures up, a lot of other channels aren't quite as open about sponsors.
Bought one of these 2 months ago and its a great amp. The gain on its own is really nice. I stuck a fortin 33 in front of it and it went from a dark and unruly sounding monster to something down right nasty!. Its one of the best amps I own.
Got a great deal on a Rockerverb 100 MKIII 4 years ago after having wanted one for years. Haven't regretted that purchase once. Like Colin said 50 W is MORE than what you need, so being heard isn't exactly the main concern with these amps. I get that their not everyones cup of tea, but i love my Rockerverb. I usually have my Protone Pedals Dead Horse Overdrive or a Tube Screamer in front of the amp to tighten it up a bit. It's always fun to turn on this amp. Always.
I was a little taken aback by my Rocker 15 combo when I bought it, it was small, not too heavy and plenty loud enough to keep up with larger amps, the darker and slightly looser response took some time to get used to but now I've grown to really appreciate the "Orange Sound" cuts through live like nobody's business. Got a nice little orange collection, including the crush mini, micro crush (completely different animal) and micro terror, that Rocker definitely made me realize which brand I needed.
I bought a black one few months ago. Threw a Ibanez TS9 in front of it and Fortin Zuul noise gate and I've never been happier. The versatility of this amp is in a league of it's own.
I'm EAGERLY awaiting the AD30 review. It's my favourite amp. I've had both the head and combo. I prefer the head and Orange 2x12 closed back. I'm interested in hearing your opinions and maybe learning some new tricks.
@@thenerdlabofficial Ok awesome, thanks for the reply. I think I will buy the head and play it threw the recto 2x12 cab with v30s first.. then maybe get the 2x12 cab from orange if it's a keeper. They sure sound sweet on you tube.
Bless CSGuitars you fukkin angel, here I am scraping the internet looking for a new amp head because i blew out my Joyo meteor yesterday rip and you provide this gem
I tried this in a store and I absolutely loved it and I had the suspicion that this amp would sound even better with a boost chucked in front and my god I was right. Might have to save for one of these and a Two Notes instead of the Kemper I was thinking of
I really want to take a look at the Crush amps, but at the time I was requesting these amps Orange were completely sold out on them. They've been really popular over lockdown.
I would love to turn notifications on for your channel Colin, but due to some UA-cam rules I cant. Well, back we go to stalking your channel every other day and hoping the algorithm helps me out here and there^^ Keep up your work, truly one of the best in the business!
If you use Discord then we have a bot that notifies you when a video is released. UA-cam is garbage for its notifications, but Discord is working really well for keeping the community in the loop.
I love my Orange amps. A trick I've found to clearing up the sound just a little bit is to us an EQ pedal to make your input slightly bright, brighter than you might normally. Another way to achieve this is to use gold foils or filtertrons (or another "jangly" pickup) instead of your standard humbuckers, p90s, or single coils.
I have a rockerverb 50 mkiii. Of course I love the dirty channel but the sound im getting out of the clean is out of this world. This is how i do it: I run the channel volume around 8-9 oclock and use the attenuation to control volume, I run the bass setting around 10, and the treble around 2, run a Revv G3 with a scooped eq setting with the gain around 9-10 and a mxr 10 band eq to very slightly cut the mids some more and to boost over all signal. It this really punchy tone that is also round and crackles in all the right ways. Axe is a Ibanez Pia but it also sounds dope through a PRS or my Baum Wingman.
Sorry, not a fan of fuzzy amps at all. Q for TATA: "Why did certain bass amps (e.g. Fender Bassman, Marshall Super Bass) sound so good as guitar amps? What did they have, from a technical standpoint, that contemporary guitar amps of their time didn't? And did they influence the design of later guitar amps?"
Honestly my dream rig of amps is a Peavey 6505 and an orange rockerverb. I love the death and thrash sounds I get from the 6505 and I like the rock and hard rock I get from orange amps such as the rockerverb.
Talking about back breakers, try shifting a Blackstar HT Stage 100. At almost 62 years old, the fucker almost kills me. lol. Nice rendition of Jorn's cover of "Ride Like the Wind" :)
I've wanted an Orange Rockerverb 50 for years but life keeps getting in the way. And wife... Wife and life. Instead I have a Line 6 Spider IV with a partially blown speaker I got at a yard sale.
To me this sounds is perfect if you play in a power trio, it has some fizz, and it is fat and very upfront, great gain and again that fizz/fuzz is remarkable. An example of that can be the guitar player/main singer of Mexican band The Warning. She's playing with a Kemper with Orange profiles plus an orange power section. Listen to her on the Live at Metropolitan concert
Happy halloween you lucky werewolf. I really like the rockerverb 50. always has been one of my 2 favorite amps. Those are more of a big deal in the states too. i think even madonna used those rockerverbs to play pantera riffs. Jokes aside, she would have the best for her stage production, whatever it was. she has a nice acoustic too. Anyway, I was checking out the schematic of the preamp once upon a time. busy preamp section....... fwiw, i had a thought to build a killer pre, then make several power amp modules. kt's, el's different wattages, but one godly preamp, oh well, it was a fun thought.... i have an 18w and 50w hammond organ amp pair. hammond iron is supposed to be some of the best, so i hung on to them for a future project.. you see why i was scamming on the rockerverb's pre heh edit: i'm talking about the old hammond parts , but new other hammond company xformers are good too.
Can you offer some advice, please? I'm waiting for my Rockerverb 50 to arrive. The issue I have is whether to match it with a PPC212 or a PPC412. I play at home, which means I wouldn't have to haul the huge 412 to gigs, but I'm unsure if there are any benefits to owning the 412, tonal wise. Obviously, I will never be able to crank the volume to fully experience what the 412 can do, which kind of makes me lean towards the 212. However, I'm kind of worried about missing out on a possible "thicker" tone. Based on your demo, the 212 sounds amazing, so I'm a bit indecisive. Any thoughts? Thanks!
112 and 212 cabinets are designed around carefully calculated dimensions to optimise air volume for best speaker performance. 412 are designed to be the smallest box that can house 4 speakers. There is literally no tonal advantage of opting for a 412, they aren't designed for tone, they are designed for volume.
I have never tried the CR in real life before, but what I have heard, and based on other reviews, it appears to be excellent and one of the best solid state amplifiers. Btw I have the Rockerverb, and it is extremely versatile. Plus it has built in reverb.
In the 60s and 70s, Orange amplification was Marshall's biggest comletition. I mean, Black Sabbath were endorsed by Orange. At the time they were THE heavy band. I was extemely happy when they were re- introduced, although the "Green" series was a nice diversion, no matter what color they come in, Orange is still an Orange...
Am I the only one who hasn't found Orange Amplifiers particularly good sounding? I know that a lot of people use them, but they're never who I think of when I think of good tone. Perhaps, I'm simply ear trained to value sounds that are more similar to the standard Marshal stack, but I haven't been able to get the power of the Marshal from an orange, nor the warmth of a fender amp from one. I don't have this issue with Crate or Vox amps, It's only orange. And I assume it's me. I can't be the only right one in a sea of wrong people. But even when used by absolute pros, I just still don't like the tone they produce. . I just... I want to no longer be wrong about the amps, but I can't bring myself to enjoy their tone.
I completely agree with you. Idk what it is about them but in person they never quite sound as good to my ear. I always found them muddy and way to fuzzy.
I respect them and anyone who uses them, but I feel the same way. I bought an Orange 2x12 cabinet with the intent of getting an Orange head. Tried a few, didn’t bond with any of them. Ended up getting a Marshall 1959 with a master volume. Currently selling my Orange 2x12 to get a different 2x12.
Taste is subjective. That's why all sorts of different shit exists. It's awesome when someone doesn't like what others do. Sometimes those people make something different that's also pretty rad.
Attenuation. Allowing the amp to be set to whatever sounds best, but attenuating the volume through the cab to keep it controlled for the studio environment. I can't have a 50W amp going mad volume here.
Thank you for the replay bro. Since I am interested in getting this amp, It's good to know that it sound great with the expander since I have the exact same one. How good is the attenuator builtin the amp? I know it is more like a master volume instead. @@ScienceofLoud
Man I've got a soft spot for Orange amps. Favourite being a highly modified Dark Terror I sometimes use as a test mule for random shit wanna do, hence the highly modified.
@@ScienceofLoud Yea mine ain't so simple anymore haha. It's really pretty great, though. It's small enough to just carry around the house and put somewhere new or throw it in the gigbag thing it's got and take it somewhere, to a practice space or whatever. Certainly a lot easier than lugging a full sized head around. Tiny amp, huge sound :D
I wish Orange would bring back the simpler OR100. I don’t need a reverb or the attenuation knob. The OR100 had a very special overdrive tone to it. A little looser than a RV. Sadly the OR50, OR100, and Thunderverbs got discontinued and people are price gouging the market (in the USA only; everywhere else is pricing it fairly). I’ve thought about spending half the price on a UK seller, hope I don’t pay too much in taxes or import fees and pull the 220v for the 120v and let a technician check everything over. I would still save about $500 versus US pricing.

I've got a Crush 20 and it's such a gain heavy practice amp and it's got good cleans and distortion
Hey man, is it class A/B or were you like me going “I love my TAE but god I miss playing loud?” 🤣🤘
Awesome as always! BTW, @ 3:29 is that Saxon's cover of Ride like the Wind I hear?
My favorite amp I have ever purchased. I love mine.
Look on the bright side of buying the Rockerverb: The weight of the amp will compensate for the lighter weight of your wallet
True, and a few squats while holding it will save on a gym membership
@@ScienceofLoud SQUAT!

The Dark terror has a similiar gain structure to the rockerverb so maybe you should give that a shot.
You had me sold when you played Bark at the moon. I’m getting one of these amps. Soon.
holy shit that sounded good ! Never truly believed orange amps were suited for the heavier Metals, but nope, I was wrong.
Your cover of Bark at the Moon is on point!
6:03 This riff sounds so AWESOME!!!!
Came for the sweet, sweet Orange tones. Stayed for Colin calling the casuals "roasters".
Two years later, same. Orange distortion is just so goddamn nice.
I just love this amp! They sound soooo good in a mix without having to do much to the tracks at all. It's incredibly versatile as well.
Personally I didn’t like how my 808 variant played with my Rockerverb MkIII, but when I added my Laney TI Boost, HOOOOOO BABY that shit was nasty!
I'm still massively impressed by my TI Boost. Best purchase I've made, even outdoes my Polara when it comes to favourite pedals.
@@WastedLimbs I thought I could replace it with different pedals from other brands and it turns out that nothing I own quite does what the TI Boost does.
treble boosters > screamers 9 times outta 10 tbh

Dude you CRUSHED Bark at the Moon! Well done!!
Glad you spoke about it’s versatility and not just classifying it as a stoner rock amp
It has made up my mind. I used to not like the orange sound at all. Now I’m all for it. It’s got a lot of character
I really appreciate this channel. Definitely one of the better guitar related channel on YT. Keep up the good work, and keep the disclosures up, a lot of other channels aren't quite as open about sponsors.

Have the Mk1 for years and love it. Sounds awesome and it's a free fitness session every week when I take it to and from the studio.

Check out the Rocker 15 - it's a beaut.
@@matthogan-jones117 I think it's time indeed. It will sound incredible through my Boogie 4x12

ITS A TRAP!!
It's good for Grandpa's Guitars (acoustics)
And reverb? How much is the switch? Haha!

Love the Laphroaig on the amp there
Impressive sound of this little one at the end. Great
Love this head - TNS is using two of these thru 4x12 and it's killer live. These lil guys are very thick and full sounding.
This amp can do a lot. I really enjoy it for lead work. It feels so good too.

Worth it for 600 quid I think. No attenuator on the MkII, that's the only thing. I hope you can get that thing loud.
I’m gonna buy one and run my Metal Zone in the clean channel 😎🤪
A light neodymium speaker cab but one of the heaviest heads out there. Wow

Obviously, I will never be able to crank the volume to fully experience what the 412 can do, which kind of makes me lean towards the 212. However, I'm kind of worried about missing out on a possible "thicker" tone. Based on your demo, the 212 sounds amazing, so I'm a bit indecisive.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
112 and 212 cabinets are designed around carefully calculated dimensions to optimise air volume for best speaker performance.
412 are designed to be the smallest box that can house 4 speakers.
There is literally no tonal advantage of opting for a 412, they aren't designed for tone, they are designed for volume.
@@ScienceofLoud Much appreciated!
the riff at 06:00 surely made zacky v proud
What’s your thoughts on the CR120? I love Orange, don’t have the money for a Rockerverb, but still want a full size head.
I have never tried the CR in real life before, but what I have heard, and based on other reviews, it appears to be excellent and one of the best solid state amplifiers. Btw I have the Rockerverb, and it is extremely versatile. Plus it has built in reverb.
Love the Crush Pro 120.... $400 for a dual channel head that you’d swear has tubes in it!
The steed behind the Opus Eponymous tone.
4:31 - there it is... the Laphroaig single malt! :D
I love the Laphroig 10 but I had Lagavulin 16 for the first time last night. Heavenly.
Oh boy that V in combination with the Orange is a match made in hell. Love it!!
I didn't got the test of the mini amp on a cabinet
In the 60s and 70s, Orange amplification was Marshall's biggest comletition. I mean, Black Sabbath were endorsed by Orange. At the time they were THE heavy band. I was extemely happy when they were re- introduced, although the "Green" series was a nice diversion, no matter what color they come in, Orange is still an Orange...
Am I the only one who hasn't found Orange Amplifiers particularly good sounding?
I know that a lot of people use them, but they're never who I think of when I think of good tone. Perhaps, I'm simply ear trained to value sounds that are more similar to the standard Marshal stack, but I haven't been able to get the power of the Marshal from an orange, nor the warmth of a fender amp from one. I don't have this issue with Crate or Vox amps, It's only orange. And I assume it's me. I can't be the only right one in a sea of wrong people. But even when used by absolute pros, I just still don't like the tone they produce. . I just... I want to no longer be wrong about the amps, but I can't bring myself to enjoy their tone.
I completely agree with you. Idk what it is about them but in person they never quite sound as good to my ear. I always found them muddy and way to fuzzy.
@@nathanielcava4128 That's why we like them :D
I respect them and anyone who uses them, but I feel the same way. I bought an Orange 2x12 cabinet with the intent of getting an Orange head. Tried a few, didn’t bond with any of them. Ended up getting a Marshall 1959 with a master volume. Currently selling my Orange 2x12 to get a different 2x12.
@@nathanielcava4128 I like them for doom and stoner rock, but outside of that I don’t care for them much.
Taste is subjective. That's why all sorts of different shit exists. It's awesome when someone doesn't like what others do. Sometimes those people make something different that's also pretty rad.
Since you were recoding with the cab. What was that waza expander doing there? Just curious since I was on all the time
Attenuation. Allowing the amp to be set to whatever sounds best, but attenuating the volume through the cab to keep it controlled for the studio environment.
I can't have a 50W amp going mad volume here.
Thank you for the replay bro. Since I am interested in getting this amp, It's good to know that it sound great with the expander since I have the exact same one. How good is the attenuator builtin the amp? I know it is more like a master volume instead. @@ScienceofLoud
Yo I got a stupid question can you use wireless guitar leads to plug your cab to your guitar heads 🧐
No
i run the exact same rig with a ppc212v. it amazes me every time i play haha
Have you tried an orange closed back cab? If you have, what's the difference in sound in your opinion?
How does the crush pro 120 head compare to the rockerverb?
One of the benefits of playing an Ampeg V4 for the last few years is my Rockerverb 100 MKiii seems light by comparison.
Man I've got a soft spot for Orange amps. Favourite being a highly modified Dark Terror I sometimes use as a test mule for random shit wanna do, hence the highly modified.
I really like the Dark Terror. It's a super simple amp, but sounds immensely good.
@@ScienceofLoud Yea mine ain't so simple anymore haha. It's really pretty great, though. It's small enough to just carry around the house and put somewhere new or throw it in the gigbag thing it's got and take it somewhere, to a practice space or whatever. Certainly a lot easier than lugging a full sized head around. Tiny amp, huge sound :D
@@nicwilson89 what mods do you have in your DT?
Ah had this before. I really prefer it with tele then anything tbh.
I wish Orange would bring back the simpler OR100. I don’t need a reverb or the attenuation knob. The OR100 had a very special overdrive tone to it. A little looser than a RV. Sadly the OR50, OR100, and Thunderverbs got discontinued and people are price gouging the market (in the USA only; everywhere else is pricing it fairly). I’ve thought about spending half the price on a UK seller, hope I don’t pay too much in taxes or import fees and pull the 220v for the 120v and let a technician check everything over. I would still save about $500 versus US pricing.
Do you think you could check out a Marshall silver jubilee sometime? Their pretty good for metal with a boost out front.
How would you say it compared to the Victory?
