First off: Killer SIlmarillion reference Second: Tube amps made my life so much better and easier. I was all digital, programming a million patches and it cannot touch the diversity you can get from one channel of a killer tube amp. I can put it on the lead channel of my amp and dial back for beautiful cleans, crunchy mids and dig in and turn up for that searing lead. Nuts what a good amp is capable of. Orange isn't talked about enough these days. Nice video :) Also: Using a great clean platform with a pedalboard can get tones that are just astounding. love my digital stuff but jeez is it a classic combo for a reason.

I find this super interesting -- I went over to a modeller just about a decade ago, and haven't looked back. At the time, I had enough money to get one of a half dozen amps I wanted, OR a modeller. But now, going from a bedroom musician playing Metallica to annoy my parents and neighbors to a gigging musician playing in wildly inconsistent venues, I love it for an entirely different reason: safety and portability. My $5k usd rackmount rig goes at the backline, safely far away from spilling drinks, tripping bassists, and flying beers. XLR out to FoH and a 2x12 cab for backup. Only thing in danger of getting mangled up by my feet is a $40 blower fan, a $60 tuner pedal, and a $110 midi footswitch, rather than what I am sure would be nearly $1,500 or so in effects. The philosophies building the rigs are totally different, the rigs are totally different, but the result is the same: a great sounding set up. And I love it.

Amp modelers aren't my thing either. I'm looking at the Orange Super Crush 100 seriously. It's solid state, gig-able and sounds amazing, just like a tube amp. Plus the price is reasonable. I'll be able to assemble a $600 US half stack when I finally get my hands on one. My cab was used and only cost $100 some for a Fender Mexican made 4x12. A simple and great sounding half stack with no tubes nor ridiculous presets. Two channels, a few pedals and a good guitar are all we really need.

They're not bad by any means, but those power tubes and transformer is a big part of where the magic is at. The OR15 isn't much more expensive that the crush, but plenty loud and capable enough. (Do you really need 100W?) If you have the extra cash, the 30 is worth every penny.

I don't know about everyone else, but I've had it with button-pushing, and knob-twisting. Technology has produced some exceptional things. But, the irony is that it's come at the expense of the music itself. ANY amp that sound great, and is one channel, with as few knobs as possible, the better. Same with guitars. Two pickups, a toggle, and a volume knob covers 99% of the tones that made most of us guitar players, fans of the instrument in the first place. The Friedman Little Sister was a lot like that. Set the EQ, and then just twist the gain, and/or your guitar's volume knob for a clean channel (assuming the amp cleans up well). That's an unnecessarily long way of saying I love where Orange has gone with this amp. This was a killer demo, as well. Playing all the right riffs. Very well done.

The cleans are fantastic, it’s incredibly versatile, more dynamic than any other amp I’ve owned. EQ dials at noon, bright to the left, presence at 2, gain at 1-2 o’clock with an SD-1 is just unbelievable for both rhythm and lead. Colin is right, if you’re in the market for a legit plexi or JCM800 you need to check this thing out.

Great vid. Recently, I've found myself drifting back to the simpler format of a single-channel amp too. Like you say: it can't do on-the-fly switching at a gig, but there's something intuitive and just plain fun about it, which helps when recording rather than complicating things. If it's voiced well - which this amp seems to be - it just...works. I got a Matamp Series 3000 recently, and after taking the time to get used to its controls, I don't think I'll need to buy another amp again (apart from, perhaps, an OR30...)

Marshall killer! Beautiful clean sounds (as long as you do not excpect mid-scooped Fender cleans), iconic, Orange typical classic overdrive sounds and even very covincing, unique high-gain to Metal sounds. And this all from a single channel! What more can you expect? Not very cheap, but for me one of the best sounding and most flexible new amps, which I have heard during the last years. For me the best sounding Orange since the release of the Rockerverb. The additional bright switch and Presence control are really an improvement, add a lot more flexibility and some more Plexi-like bite, if wished and also the power reduction is an advantage, while the amp itself still sounds, like an Orange should. Amp of the year for me!

The amp sounds really good, very articulate. I thought the addition of a presence know and a bright switch was a really great move. I love my Rockerverb MKii, and while I love the thick, heavy, saturated tones, I do wish it had a presence control just for the ease of adding some high mids when I want them. It's not an issue as throwing the Guptech Pdeq pedal (which simulates a presence and depth control) in the loop does the trick, but the ease of having it on the amp would be nice.

I have both- a digital modelling amp with all the bells and whistles (Mustang III) and a plain ol single channel tube amp without all the extras (Bassbreaker 15). I find I spend more time actually PLAYING with the latter. And more time faffing about with all the nifty neatos on the former. You can get all the sounds you want out of the BB15 just by adjusting the few controls, and using the pots on your guitar. One shiny it does have, is an additional speaker jack with a switchable impedance control. So a speaker swap is as easy as pluggin in another cabinet. Both sound great, it's just that one is plug n play, the other is programmable, and takes some setting up to get it to sound just so. (BUT you don't NEED to also haul around a pedal board- all the effects are built in, so there's that real convenience factor. plus, it's WAY lighter!) Anyhow, this amp sounds pretty darn good to my ears!

That's pretty epic and "road worthy", or said in a different manner: shop it where you score the best value. If my houseful of Traynors amps, smattering of Fenders, Yamaha, Roland and Marshall gets culled, this could be the "one classic tube amp here". Who am I kidding ?

How versatile is a single channel amp? Kind of a loaded question because it all depends on the design quality and dynamic quality of the circuit. I have a Ceriatone Chupacabra 100 head running through an EVH 4x12 cab. With that setup, you would think “big, thick overdrive monster”. And you wouldn’t be wrong. But, you roll down the guitar volume and it cleans up really well. Not like an old Fender clean. But what I call a “Texas clean”. And the pickup selector switch with different pickup combinations really changes and gives you different tones that pop out. So, depending on the quality of the circuit, sometimes a single channel is all you need.

With the right pedals, you can get by just fine with a good one channel amp.

A single channel amp tends to be as versatile as the person plugging into it. Really fat sounding orange, the accent does it justice. Good video in general, "Priest" and "Doom" are definitely the two things I wonder about when it comes to guitar gear.
