The thing is that any amp is as good as its parts. A cheap pos tube amp will still be a bad amp. Likewise a high end solid state properly built will be as good as a tube amp. The stigma against ss stems from cheap practice amps. But back in the day before they were made to be that they had some solid hits with ss amps. The peavey range certainly springs to mind and the bandits up till the red stripe were all amazing. Marshall had some epic ss offerings like the 2199 and the later master leads in the 80s. Fender and yamaha had ss amps designed by Paul Rivera and they kicked ass. The only one really left is the roland jc which is more of a pedal amp imo. The digital crap does not sound analog either. Thing is with the price of tube amps these days theres a real demand to bring good solid state back again. The orange cr60 is probably the spiritual successor to the bandit. But hiwatt now has their leeds series out, randall is still around too. Ss amps when done right are just as good as anything else with added reliability. Vox had some epic ss amps back in the day too and keef used an ss vox on cant you hear me knocking. Companies should look to properly reissue some of these amps the right way. An mia peavey bandit solo w the scorpion is a must, a marshall 2199 is a must, vox has the super beatle and other ss stuff from the 60s they could do. The rivera fenders shit on any tonemaster and they could work with him to make solid recreations of super reverbs and bassmans rather than this digital stuff. Orange is doing it right with the crush series of amps and they’re leading the market place in a different direction. Most definitely hiwatt and blackstar followed them into this market and i suspect more will follow.

I went on a road trip to buy my brother a Roland cube 30 X? + some other things for me, a few years ago. Stupid me didn't take a lead or a guitar. The guys daughter got me her acoustic. The cube sounded scratchy so she went to get her amp. A Pathfinder 15R. Plugged in & whoa, what a Beast. The father asked if she used it & she hadn't. They offered it to me, for $50 Aussie money. Snapped it up. I already owned my AC 15 C1. It's a Very Close Match! ❤

Best review I’ve watched so far for this amp. One thing that wasn’t mentioned I think was the weight, this amp only weighs 44lbs as opposed to my tube combos that weight near 70lbs. For guys my age (63) that’s a HUGE plus. Thanks Dominick ☮️
@DominickArena
@DominickArena Ай бұрын
@@rdesjean Thanks for the watch I appreciate it. Yeah the weight is a good point. Probably a little heavy for a Solid State seeing a Katana or Catalyst only weighs 25lbs but definitely lighter than an old tube amp for sure. I contribute the weight due to the heavy duty cabinet. Orange did not skimp out on the cabinet and kept specs inline with their $1000+ combos

@@tradbowseven Yeah I hear that. Sometimes thou as time goes by and the speaker relaxes they sound better than new or in some small cases worse. Frequencies can change and sound darker with time as the cone and surrounds relax and break in. Only reason I would change this speaker is to get a little more headroom outta it. It's a decent speaker don't get me wrong! But the speaker itself breaks up before the amp does. Throwing in a 75 or 100 watt rated speaker will eliminate that.

I ran a few pedals. Tube Screamers, Compressor and some slap back delay. It takes them very very well. Love how much wider the sound is with some Delay or Reverb. Once thing about these amps is due to the small cab it's very 1 dimensional. But yes pedals bring it to loife

I actually owned this and the Rocker 15 at the same time. I kept the Crush. The tone was almost identical after dialing them in, and while the Rocker is great it's a lot harder to dial the tone and volume live fiddling with the attenuator on the back. With the crush it's a breeze, AND it comes with an awesome built-in reverb. I wish the 60 came with a 10-inch speaker option (I'm in the minority, I prefer 10-inch speakers) but other than that it's my gigging amp. Love the thing. It's so versatile you really don't need a pedalboard, almost everything you can need is in there.
@DominickArena
@DominickArena 5 ай бұрын
You're absolutely right with the fiddling of the attenuator. I hate that live. I too love a good 10 inch. As a matter of fact I've been playing a lot of Pro Jrs lately live and practice cause I can dial in a great tone without blowing the windows out. Then mic it live. I still have the CR60C and play it all the time.
