I had a chance to try out two amps today the first was the Fender Rumble 150 at $250 bucks paired with the Fender Rumble 4x10 cab at $300 bucks. I was pleasantly surprised at the sound of this rig. Ver nice for the price.

Second amp Orange Amp BT500H at $900 bucks paired with SWR Golight 4x10 cab at $900 bucks. Obviously sounded great and there was an obvious difference in sound from the fender setup.

I how ever did not hear a $1250 difference.

Are more popular brand amps over priced or overrated???

Take that Rumble 150 out on a gig and afterwards, see if you still feel the same.

well since its only 150 watts i'm sure the orange amp would way over power it since its 500 watts

Hence....the difference in price.
