after waiting 3 months on backorder.....my orange thunderverb has arrived!

AWESOME!!!

As far as the other people that posted:
It is a "guitar" head but it is quite often used as a bass head and even Orange markets it as a guitar/bass head.

I haven't played it myself, but my guys at Orange told me it sounds very similar to an AD200B with the addition of a second channel.
 
ETR - Extended Tonal Range.

Performs well as low as 33 Hz works great as a bass head. It has the same tubes on its clean channel as the AD200B.

Sounds awesome through my acoustic stack, just got back from playing. It's not for you if you want to play clean though, but distorted it sounds great. The clean sound is wonderful but not loud enough for most types of rock. Since my band only does clean on slower, quieter parts, works well. Really well.
 
Turn EVERYTHING all the way up.

I DOUBLE DOG dare you... :)

Tell me how many windows you have left. Also, tell me how much hearing is left, how many cops show up, and how many small animals lay twitching in front of it.

If you can hear the drums, you aren't loud enough!

I'm glad it works for you. How many speakers are you playing that through? Put it through 6 or 8 tens and you can talk some serious volume if you have it set right.
 
cool i didnt know u can use a guitar head for bass

You can use a guitar head for bass or a bass head for guitar. It just doesn't always work soundwise for all applications.

Especially in older tube type designs, there's actually not that much difference between guitar and bass heads, a lot of times.

My amp was designed for use by both guitarists and bassists.
