Who else is looking forward to this thing?
What does everyone expect?
Has anyone found demos of it with a bass?
I'm thinking about replacing my BDDI with it, should i live up to my expectations. |

I plan on using the VT for my cleaner tone, then have the Oxford for that orange semi-overdriven sound. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2006 Location: Rochester, NY | | | I'm also interested in the Oxford - as I'm GASin for an Orange Head from the few clips I've heard (and from seeing the band Dead Meadow live)...however my bank account says otherwise!
I've got the VT and I'm happy with it....but a question for those with Orange amps....can you tell from the clip of the Oxford if it comes close? It might be a little early to tell, I'll probably hang until some people start posting reviews. |

| | | | I think I'll pick one up. It seems more useful than the leeds for most of the stuff we play. I wonder how it will react with the VT Deluxe. |

|  | User | | Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Arkham, MA, USA | | | I'm bumping this because I really want to know from someone first hand who actually uses the oxford and/or the us steel. I would guess they would be amazing, and they have the speaker sim defeat button on them without mods!! I kind of want both of them, but I do already have the VT and I'm thinking of getting it modded. Hopefully someone has tried these out by now!!

Anyone got any experience on the Oxford? - I tried both the Oxford and Leeds together and went with the Leeds because I just liked it more - more high mids, more Entwistle (more of an explosive overdrive) blah blah blah....
...However, Im getting an Orange Bass Terror and although im pretty sure Tech 21 didnt think of modelling the AD200b (the preamp of which is reported to be in the Bass Terror and I have seen A/B tests where the two amps sound very similar) when Making the Oxford, but there are some Bass clips on a youtube video that doesnt sound half bad.
I currently have a VTbass (sold the leeds). My thoughts are finding a Oxford tone that matches the Bass Terror tone and send that to the DI - sending my non-Oxford tone to the Bass Terror - so that the House gets my Oxford signal and I get the Orange (no chance of getting Mic'd up where I play)
Also, would it be worth keeping the VTBass for its speaker Sim? I fear that if the Oxford is modelling a Guitar Cab, Id rather use the VTBass's 810 Bass Cab sim.

The thing with the VT bass is that at least tech 21 suggest which settings sound like which models ie: SVT with The Character around 'here' - Fliptop Likewise. They have a suggested bass setting for 'sabbath style' bass.
I guess I ought to just get it.

| | Supporting Member | | Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: London, England | | | as far as wikipedia can be trusted:
AD200B Head (A.K.A. the AD200) is marketed as one of the most simple bass heads on the market today. It has a passive, 3-band EQ as well as input gain and volume controls.
The low knob on the EQ is set to attenuate low frequencies as it is turned counter clockwise on the order of around 120 Hz, but will attenuate frequencies up to 500 Hz as it is adjusted.
The mid control sets attenuation in the region of 500-1k,
and the high control sets attenuation for frequencies above 1k According to Orange amp tech, Will Loftin.
According to the Oxford info on the Tech 21 site:
Bass EQ - 120hz
Mid - 500hz
Treble - 2.5k
Seems like its making sense to me at the moment.
