I've been curious about these things since I heard about them. Plus, i'm looking for a smaller amp than the AD200 to carry out to our shed to practice 2 nights a week. Anyone had any experience at all with these amps? Please share.

I just asked because I saw one on eBay this past week. I guess the release date just snuck up on me! And are they really $800?!
I orderd one last night so expect a review on friday morning. Unfortunately I'll be running it throught two ashdown mag cabs 1x15 and a 2x10 but I'm very tempted by the new orange cabs.
It's still out of stock pretty much everywhere in the UK. Although I did find I had a bit more money in savings so I went for a the Orange AD-200. Managed to get a white one that was in stock as there is a month to month and half wait on them as well.
Any word on WHEN these are suppose to surface in the US? I've been GASing for a new/vintage tube head and I guess I could wait if it's gonna be here like this winter/spring...
Seems like we've been waiting a long time for these. I thought they were going to be available this fall -- which is pretty much NOW.
If anyone's got an update, that would be cool.

Hey Myth. I just received my Orange BT500C bass combo amp from Zzounds. It Is an amazing amp. Best amp I have ever played through. Sound is extremely clear, lots of lows very deep and rich. Extremely light ( I do work out tho) I would recommend it. Im playing through a fender american deluxe dimension bass. I could not be happier. I just hope it withstands the test of time... Every tubed amp ive owned I have had problems with. Ampeg svt classic all tubed blew up in one year. Mesa big block 750 with 6x10 power house cabinet also started to go out in a year. So I hope this one will last longer. i will put it on stndby for 2min prior to turning on and off to make sure tubes are taken care of. I will make a youtube video for it. All the ones I have seen for it are terrible and in german.
