I honestly think that Ad30 is one of the most underrated amps. It has unlimited variations within it's range and so reactive to the guitar and amps. True chameleon while totally recognisable. With a right guitar and pushing of front end you can play even modern metal. It would be a bit undergained, but perfectly sharp and tidy, whilst oozing that valve grain.
I’m a metalhead through and through but man I love this amp so much. One of my favorite things is the chimey harmonic frequencies at moderate gain levels when you let a chord ring with the master pretty loud. As the chord settles and fades the harmonics shimmer beautifully, not many amps will do that the way this one will. It also really nails late 70s or early 80s metal tones with an overdrive.
I have an AD30. I absolutely love it. The two identical but different voiced channels is so much fun. I run a Keeley Phat Mod and Keeley Katana Clean Boost into mine. Absolutely rips
You used to look identical to me when you had long hair but now I lost my internet audiophile twin. I'm a local musician in Texas and it has been fun watching you all these years lol now you I have ascended to the ranks of musical pretty boy and not microphone Jesus
I love the videos you make about Orange Amps. I’ve always known about them, but seeing them in action (on line) is rad. I just bought a Dual Terror. I play in a 60’s do-wop/80’s punk bank. 30w is perfect. Thanks for the great videos.
Why hello Short Haired Colin, having played through both amps at various points in my life, both the AD30 and RV53 are incredible. Personally I’m drawn to the Rockerverb more but the AD30’s “clean" channel might be among the best tones I’ve ever heard.
Many people here in the comment section are asking where colin has gone and who is this guy? I would like to tell you that this is Niloc . He live in parallel universe! He asked Colin to take his place in parallel universe because people in parallel universe wanted to have some knowledge regarding guitar, pedals,amps etc..but they were too afraid to ask! So Colin has gone there for few months. He will be back soon!
My AD30 is currently quarantined elsewhere, and I haven't been able to use new Univibe though it yet. I was so happy to hear you demo the univibe in this video.
Great! I've always wanted to play one of these; ever since seeing Robert Smith play through two of them at Wembley in 2008 - they just seemed to sound particularly fantastic. I hope you are able to buy the amp as I'd be very keen to hear more of if from you : )
Well really that video didn't answer my question, which was simply... WHY???? I did the same thing back in june 2019 for a job and ever since regretted it and have been growing it back.
yeah that is because this video is an ad and your experience is real. orange amps sound loose, flubby and unfocused. if you want that sound, just get a marshall.
@@santrixhimself3679 Marshall's sound like shit tbh unless they are fully cranked, and even then they're super harsh sounding. They cut through a mix well though and thats why so many big bands love them.
I think the main reason that the AD30 and its discontinued bigger sibling the AD140 don't have an FX loop is because they both have post-phase inverter master volumes. In the case of the ADs, if you look at the circuit, you funnily enough see an individual phase inverter tube *for each channel* lol. And if you want to insert effects after a phase inverter, you'd need it to be stereo... and you'd still probably fuck up the phase relationships somehow.
Though thinking about it that probably only goes for the AD140... the AD30 is class A, after all. And as far as I know that means it shouldn't have a PI? I'm probably way off the mark, nvm lol.
Would have liked to hear the amp without and effect pedals and the difference between the two channels. . Very good description of the amp a features you done your homework..but I was more interested in the amps raw sound between to different channels .. .
looks like a new host has been chosen jokes aside you're rocking a cool metal nick jonas look ( and more talented than nick too ) love the content you've done over the years and very helpful and insightful
Huh! I had one of these heads for a bit but I didn't much like it, but admittedly at the time I think I was going for a different sort of tone from it and it sounds great here, particularly with the single coils.
Hello! This amp is terrific and can be very versatile especially for guitars with vintage pickups! (IHMO for guitars with medium/high output pickups Rockerverb will be better). It`s interesting: how does it sound with 12at7 v1/v2 preamp valves to increase the headroom?
Buckcherry have always been Rockerverbs. Kevin has anyway. He did use a AD30 combo in Orson though. Stevie has been a Carol Ann and Marshall guy. Although, he has swapped the Silver Jubilee for a Rockerverb MK3 about a year ago.
You should get your hands on any of Alejandro Silva's handmade amplifiers and review them. They go by the name PS1, PS2, etc. He's a chilean guitar player and amp designer/builder. The guy knows his stuff. I've never heard one in person, but they sound pretty good in the videos from his YT channel.
Dig the hair...anyway, I had this amp in combo form for 12+ years, was my main and only amp. It kicks fucking ass, unfortunately, my style changed eventually and I needed some super Fendery cleans and Roland JC cleans, something you don't get with Orange. I still love this amp and would've kept it if I could, but I highly recommend it still. It cuts through any mix. My trick was cranking the master to 10 and using the gain as the volume, it gave the best presence possible.
One of the few moments that a rocker cut his hair and didn't look bad. Bad examples: Blake Shelton (country) James (papa het) .....I can't think of anymore. You look like my friend Daniel!!!

Yeah but the hair doe :(
You cleaned up nicely.
WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH LONG HAIRED COLIN
"Ey "haired" thut short air gits yuh "haired" in uh mex butter thun bustin' tha mids."
I think Colin might have scooped the mids, because he can no longer be haired
Damn, this comment is gold.
Lmao 👌
a perfect comment
Hahahahahahahahahaha
If this was reddit, you'd get a gold medal
when did they change the host?
Sounds like Colin, but doesn't look like him 🤔
Macaulay Culkin is hosting for now on.
He was replaced last video Nicule.

@Johnny Wheels Oh fuck me!
Clicked the notification just for the new haircut. That's a new level of click bait
I predict most of the comments will be about the hair. 😂
What hair?
...and thats the problem 😡
I kid. Looks good :)
What happened to all of his long beautiful hair?
I clicked the thumb nail JUST to come to the comments section hahaha
Ok not JUST
Like this comment abt the hair ;D
I max out my mids so I can be haired!
That it. Its final. 2020 has also taken Colin's hair
Haven't we suffered enough??
His hair died from COVID.
@@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy covid deprived him of being haired 😭😭😭
Psychologist: short haired Colin can't hurt you, he's not real
Shor haired Colin:
I said this above before scrolling down.... Just saying...
I do not like this.
Who is this handsome short haired guy and where is our sexy long hair collin?
Future Colin, get back to where/whenever you are and give us back the long haired Colin!
Long hair Colin is dead, welcome your new Overlord.
@@ScienceofLoud what's next slick back hipster Colin?
Oh no! Overlord Colin ate long haired Colin.
But, that hair doesn't match the POWER-HEAVY-FACE-WITH-THE-WIND-BLOWING-OFF-THE-HAIR that we all love!!!!
😞😞
Everyone talks about the hair, but nobody asks "How are you Colin?"
PS. With the new haircut you'll be haired more :)
I agree. A haircut is a traumatic thing. We need to check on him.
Hah
nobody ever asks people named colin/collin how they are. trust me i know.
Did anyone else watch the whole video and only think about Collins new hair style throughout? 😂😂😂
Said by my bald self! 😂
Yes.

@@13_cmi I NEED PHOTO NOW
@@certifiedpossum8655 it might give away my location because a local artist made it. Maybe when I move away or something.
This is truly the darkest time line when Colin cuts his hair.
I see what you did there
Abed! There is no alternate timelines!!

i’m sorry are you saying this is one band playing do-wop AND 80’s punk? cause if that’s the same band that’s the coolest thing i’ve ever heard
I’ve got to be perfectly honest, I’m 3 minutes in and haven’t followed a single word! Too busy reading the hair comments. 😂
same haha
The new cut looks great dude!
I don't know if it's Colin or this amp, but I'm in love now
Why hello Short Haired Colin, having played through both amps at various points in my life, both the AD30 and RV53 are incredible. Personally I’m drawn to the Rockerverb more but the AD30’s “clean" channel might be among the best tones I’ve ever heard.
For a moment I thought I was on the wrong channel. That seller/buyer attitude at the end matches the hairstyle :P

I’m here after a messenger pigeon came by delivering word of a haircut. Was worth the journey, great video!
Haircut looks good.👍
i love the ad30, been using it for years! i crank that volume all the way up and boost it.
.. also something something haircut.
The transients on this thing are unreal!
By far the best demo of the AD30 on youtube land!
Great! I've always wanted to play one of these; ever since seeing Robert Smith play through two of them at Wembley in 2008 - they just seemed to sound particularly fantastic.
I hope you are able to buy the amp as I'd be very keen to hear more of if from you : )
I don't think I can take this channel seriously anymore
I used to have the Ad140. Guitar to Ad140-Slave output to Engl Powerball 60 input. Both into a 4x12 each. Sludgetastic. Sounded like Burning witch
FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS GET FRIENDS HAIRCUTS
I love these videos, I get to nerd out and rock out all in one stop
No effects loop, but the waza tube expander is doing that anyway. If I could justify the cost of buying one I’d totally get one.
Nice haircut Colin, looks awesome!
That single-cut PRS sounded dang sweet. Had the 1st Rockerverb 50, never knew this one could sound so nice, even tho a few friends had one. Well done!
Colin without rock hair ....just a proof that 2020 is a really weird year, absolutely nothing is like it used to be. 🙃
A whole lot of you didn't watch the previous video, huh?
All your hair questions answered: ua-cam.com/video/fOp60vdPV_s/v-deo.html
I saw the video but I thought you actually went to the future.😂
Yes, I saw the previous video but for me it was harder to find a silly comment than for this one.
Dude get your hair back
Hawl haircut.
Well really that video didn't answer my question, which was simply... WHY???? I did the same thing back in june 2019 for a job and ever since regretted it and have been growing it back.
Love that dual P90 tele is that the Friedman ?
First time I've heard an Orange described as tight and articulate. They always sound loose to me.
yeah that is because this video is an ad and your experience is real. orange amps sound loose, flubby and unfocused. if you want that sound, just get a marshall.
@@santrixhimself3679 Marshall's sound like shit tbh unless they are fully cranked, and even then they're super harsh sounding. They cut through a mix well though and thats why so many big bands love them.
It’s the shit Vintage 30’s. My OR50 was tight. My TH30 was too tight. I used a Weber speaker. The Vintage 30 was terrible
Me: Puts on CSGuitars video, gets to listen to Orange.
Mrs. Winkels: Leaves the room.
This is what we like to call win:win.
I think the main reason that the AD30 and its discontinued bigger sibling the AD140 don't have an FX loop is because they both have post-phase inverter master volumes.

Huh, interesting. Checked the schem again, for the AD30 this time and it does seem to have a PI of sorts. Now I really wanna know what's going on...
Ooohhh Shit, there goes the hair I was always so envyous about. But I did the same thing 2 Weeks ago. Feeling good?
I'm not allowed to cut my hair short anymore. Last time I did my wife cried.
@@TheRealFallenDemon my girlfriend would murder me if i cut my hair :D
The Maxon OD808 is a special pedal. I can’t live without a TS pedal now.
I lined it up with every other type of TS & the Maxon is the original & the best. Meaning it coloured my tone the least!
Would have liked to hear the amp without and effect pedals and the difference between the two channels. .
Very good description of the amp a features you done your homework..but I was more interested in the amps raw sound between to different channels .. .
Haircut and a shave is the most brutal thing a metalhead can do
Awsome sounding demos, now I'm torn on this or the rockerverb. Ahhhhhh
Great video as always. :)
It would appear that short hair has not affected Colin's guitar playing abilities whatsoever
Haircut and a shave? So when is your court date?
The new look is a good change :) Always like your videos.
Did you get a lot of the old classic reaction: mild confusion, blank stare, point, exclaim "haircut!"
When classes starts and you have to leave your holliday look!!!! :-) :-)
New haircut is far better.
I will watch more of your vids now! Long hair is for girls and glam bands 😇
Nice Haircut man! I'm sure it felt weird for a few days. Keep up the quality content.
Very nice and informative ad! Thanks!
Dude I think he looks awesome with this hair.
Ex Hex is one of my favorite AD30-using bands

Love the John Mayer look. 👍🏻

Sounds amazing man. Happy Thursday.

Also: great video as always :D
Hey I’ve got a TATA. What is 50’s wiring? Could you demonstrate it if you haven’t made a video on it already?
Hey Colin you look pretty good with that haircut!!
Well, it's official. My hair is longer than yours. This is weird.
I need a haircut and beard trim.
You asked yourself wich of those amps would be a keeper, but since they are there already, i say they would work great in a dry/wet setup.
Someone got his haircut. Looking fresh brotendo. 👍🤘
Love your new hair. Growing my hair out myself, but now i got a bit worried about it will look bad on me lmao
There must be a lot of people watching this video keeps pausing.😱😎 I think you broke the Internet with your new Haircut!🤣😂🤣😂🤘 Rock on!

I have the combo version. Its a beast.
Please explain attenuators, I know you want specifics but anything will do. Love all that you do, peace out brother
I’ll except the diminished tone in favor of having a loop.
I gots to hide my flub ups in a wash of modulation and delay efx 😂
Vintage inspired hair to match the vintage inspired amplifier :')
Holy haircut Batman!
.
Dont you ever cut your hair, Max!
It’s Colin from the future again!
Surprised how heavy it gets with a TS in front. Hot dayum!
Oh yes. Great pacing, Great content.
I do so love Orange
One of the few moments that a rocker cut his hair and didn't look bad.

wtf short hair
He finally got haired.
