Hey guys, I've been playing with the idea of getting a new amp, and bieng the Orange amps fanboy that I am, I went ahead and looked at their Terror head and other stuff, and came to the realization that as cool as it would be to have a $3000 Amp setup, I can really only afford $500 on an amp, $800 if I stretch it and ditch some other stuff I wanted to get. [pedals]
Also, looking carefully at the stuff I have [30 watt practice amp and 75 watt gig amp, both solid-state] I discovered that I don't really need some 5000watts of power, so right as I was about to dismiss getting an Orange amp as way too much money for unneeded power and glass tubes, I found this:

this is beginning to look like just what I need, 100 watts, 4-Band EQ, and a line-out to plug in to more powerful stuff later on.
My question is what do you guys think of this amp?
Has anyone used it before?
How does it compare to the other orange amps systems? [keeping in mind that for me to use the combo is 3x as much and the full tube amp would be 6x as much]
Also, does anyone know of some cheaper tube amps or tube/SS amps? Or do you lose too much quality for a cheap tube amp system to be worth it?
its good for metal which is the stuff i play :P
