After spending the past 6-7 months with a Fender Rumble 500 combo I decided that I wanted to try something different. I like the Rumble, it’s light, loud and pretty versatile but I just wanted to try something different. I went with this Orange because I wanted a 15 and I wanted the gain blend. I run through PA with subs when I play live and use my amp for a stage monitor. I got to put this combo through its paces at a show yesterday evening and was super impressed with its tone and volume (even with only 100 watts). My fretless pj sounded better than it ever has, I believe due to the active eq on the amp. The build quality is excellent and I love the looks. I am definitely an Orange fan now!
