Official Orange Club II

Thanks! Since the Ampeg SVT CL already failed on me more than one time, I'm looking for a backup amp in case the SVT goes again in assistance (more than one month...), even if I'll hope to solve the problem with a stabilized power strip/filters or whatsoever. I'm very happy with the GK but I think that goes in a different way. When @Wicked G told me about Orange in another thread (thanks!) I'm thinking about selling the GK for the TB or OB1, since they seems more deep, round bass/dark oriented than the GK.
Thanks again

I like the portability of the TB and the analog sound of the OB. Both take pedals very well. Both are great amps!
 
Yep, the gain structure of the OB is real cream at low level...but I think I'll take the risk with the Terror!
Is it reliable on the tubes side? As far as I know the amps with tube pre/solid state amp are less "delicate" (electric current peaks and drops, humidity, ecc) than all tubes, is it correct?

Generally preamp tubes are not a problem and usually last longer than most people own their amps.

I changed preamp tubes more for the sound and custom, than for them going bust.
 
A picture of my current setup, because why not?

My Little Bass Thing arrived today. Astonishingly loud 500 watts that was vibrating the photo on the wall.

I prefer clean and punchy, and this amp delivers. Q: I didn't find it, but it may be out there - is there a detailed listing of what the frequency range is for the mid-sweep? I'm going by ear - I like to cut a little around 2K to smooth out finger noise.

For those of you stuck at home...Like everybody

My friends Steve Araujo from G&L and Jon Moody from GHS started a little bass related podcast.

We get into some Jon gets into his Orange amps

I started a link on it...Hope you dig it.
