Official Orange Club II

[Pelham Bleu]

I'm remodeling my music room so here's a quick picture my house is over 115 years old so I'm getting the entire house rewired and for the music room some new flooring and acoustic treatments. I no longer gig so this rig is just for fun and recording even though Amplitude 3's AD200B and OBC410 models are really accurate nothing beats the real thing.

Horn switch on the OBC410: off, low or hi?

Horn switch on the OBC410: off, low or hi?

That is a great question this might sound crazy but I like all three positions on rock songs I like it on high but with R&B off sounds better and when I'm using my Hofner I think low sounds better a footswitch would be nice

Gig last night was in a small basement bar, PA was vox-only. That rig more than did the trick. Guitar rig was Orange TH100 > Marshall straight 412. Good toanz had by all.

I noticed where you had the master and gain set at these amps don't get the credit for how loud they are.

There ye go

It's more than enough for every club, cafe & dive bar in my area.

I usually go "off" or "hi." I think OD sound better with it up, fuzz better with it off.

I haven't used any of my pedals yet so I'll be curious how they respond to the new amp.

Just got home from a week on the road for work and plugged in and played 2 songs and my amp went silent. Turned the master and the gain and nothing. Looked at the back and see these two red lights on above the output valve failure fuses. Any ideas on what's going on? Oh yeah it's an AD 200 Bass MK 3 head run through 2- OBC115's.

 

[TMARK]

I think that means you take it into the shop.

Anyone hear an OBC210 Mini?

Is it just the fuses that blew?

If fuses blow it's usually a sign of something bad happening that draws too much power.

Could it be some freakish thing that happened? Could you change the fuses and then see what happens?

I'll check it out tomorrow. Maybe a trip to the shop then they have to ship it to their main office which is 100 miles from there with a once a week pickup. I'll get on line and look tomorrow. Thanks guys.

That sucks I hope it's something simple like a fuse change.

It is with a try. Maybe a surge. My Ampeg did this. A shorted tube. New tubes and a plate resister put it right. About $100 including tubes.

Do you have a tech? A good tube amp tech is nice to have. I hope it is a quick turn around.!

+1 before I bought the Orange rig I called the closest authorized service center and talked to them.

Each light signals failure in a pair of valves.
A fuse change and fresh valves could be needed. If you don't know how to service your amp or are uncomfortable working with high wattage, take it to your tech, he can give you a diagnostic and put it back to work.

Thanks. I'll be making a trip to my tech this week. I've got a power tube out in my SVT as well so might as well take them both. Thanks for all the help guys.
