Video Review - Orange Amps OR50H

[@PJyrstinkangas]

Words cannot define how much this amp, in all it's simpleness and pureness, kicks ass.

[@JimmyG217]

Is that Dragonaut at 0:39 ? Stoner riffs are exactly what need to be played through this beast!

[@aaronmattis]

Great review, but it would be helpful if you indicated during the demo when you have the master volume engaged and when you have it switched out of the circuit.

[@ElazulVGM]

That's a fair point, but at the same time, these demos aren't really intended to be studio quality recordings, they're just supposed to give you a general idea of the sonic characteristics of whatever they're demoing, which I think this video does a perfectly reasonable job of. Sure it sounds a bit thin and washed-out, but you can still totally hear that it's a pretty vintage-voiced amp with a lot more gain and not, say, a Dual Rec or JVM.

[@KfirOchaion]

Sounds REAL.

[@ElazulVGM]

Man, that's my kind of metal tone; punchy and full of midrange! It sounded absolutely killer for those Sabbath and Rhoads riffs.

[@arnieslab]

Jamming the Sleep riffs!

[@israelbonnard]

I already check the OR100 and it seems that is a complete different amp from the OR50.. I really wanted the OR100 with the same features as the OR50 just adding a good FX loop... The OR100 seems to be a more versatile amp but what I really like from the OR50 was the HF Drive attenuator and the HD drive...

[@Xtremeturkeywarlock]

you know a review is awesome when they play dragonaut

[@Cobrachild]

This is the first amp were I go: 'Wow, this is the tone I'm looking for!'. Sabbath, Sleep, AC/DC, Randy Rhoads, ... It has it all. Kick-ass!

[@stephenporter1238]

dragonaut

[@zeppelin1996]

The amp really shines doing the classic rock thing, which is why that's featured in most videos. But you can tell from this video that it's capable of getting some good high gain tones (in a vintage sort of way). If you wanna play more modern music you probably don't want this anyways. Get a rockerverb, two channels, FX loop, much better suited for more "modern music"

[@xxdvallesxx]

I just came here for the silverburst..

[@bolerkins]

was never a fan of the burst custom until I saw this...so effin good !

[@zeppelin1996]

There's now the OR100, from what I can tell it's basically this amp with a clean channel and an FX loop. And it's 100 watts of course.

[@hitgar]

Please do a demo of the OR15. I hear it is very different from the OR50 even though they have made it look like a mini version of one.

[@edbstrung]

Sleep much? Kyuss it seems you just might.

[@Beaver1969]

Baroness.

[@bolerkins]

Gone Shootin sold me on this amp !

[@Chandler17447]

jordan is my favourite of all of the premier guitar demoers

[@WeightyGhost1]

was there one time in the review where he took the master volume out of the loop? :/ I was waiting for that the whole video.

[@dust0fnations]

I dont know what is more awesome. The amp, or Jordan's Mr. Show shirt :)

[@israelbonnard]

The fact that you don't use an Fx loop doesn't means that other people don't need one. Orange amps have a great loop.

[@myewgul]

What's he playing at 7:20? Sounds SO badass.

[@bartulbuzdovacic7906]

Whats an FX loop? I dont understand some of englis terms for that kind of stuff...

[@4Bolter]

Good review but pity there wasn't more demonstration of the controls/ sounds available on the amp. All the LP stuff sounded pretty much the same. I'm sure the amp does more than drop-d metal riffage…

[@alexanderbaylerian5959]

What is the riff at 7 minutes? Great stuff

[@funkaluca]

Can you use the footswitch function as a clean/dirty channel?

[@ShoreStudios]

Sure are, Jimmy Page used a similar Orange Amp back in the day, actually may have been the original handwired OR50 and when Orange reissued the OR50 in 2008 they gave Mr. Page serial # 1

[@azombiestool]

I love higher gain stuff at the end. It has that awesome crunchy edgy sustain. WOW love it. Want it next to my Sovtek MIG 60

[@DoughyBoy]

This amp sounds so good on orange cabs, but playing it on my marshall 1960B, highs are too harsh and it just screams too much. Should i get v30's as a better fit for this head?

[@sneakyimp]

+DoughBoY Consider getting a Marshall 1960BV (note the "V") cab? The "v" ones sound very different than the regular ones.

[@MrKjohnson123]

+DoughBoY ,yes V30s

[@tomanitopaul]

Do you recommend this amps or are there better out there?

[@Guadalcanal]

Jordan, play the whole version of Dopesmoker!

[@OculusSF]

Any demo that starts off with King Crimson is pure win.

[@jackfuzz7364]

Does anyone know how the OR50 differ (tone wise) from the Retro 50 ?

[@filipequintas]

I'm sorry to inform you that it does, in fact, have a flamed maple neck. :D

[@footer317]

Hey Jordan, what tuning were you in while playing Teiresias?

[@spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

"I'm Jordan. I played a Sleep song on guitar. I don't smoke pot. *wink* *wink*"

[@AkiraSpectrum]

nice vid, good overall playing to get a good sense of how the amp sounds :-)

[@greendayray]

is that les paul original vintage or a VOS?

[@LegendofPelliott]

Teiresias! Good man.

[@premierguitar]

Tom Anderson pickups that are pretty hot.

[@Hollywood_breen]

This guy knows his riffs. I have this amp it's great and I got it cheep

[@mardoggyo6712]

Just curious on how much you copped for?

[@davidwprince]

What pickups are those? The pole pieces look larger than usual.

[@Astral_Wave]

I'm not really sure at all, but they look like they could be something from Tom Anderson

[@DavideGuerri]

there' no real need to demo orange products, it's orange and sounds great, deal with it

[@robogrunge]

whats that at 00:31?

[@ilikeheadcrabs]

this fucking owns, what an awesome sounding amp

[@averyadrian1534]

Such an intense amp😊

[@ValHazzard]

anyone who has this amp, or played it...could you give me an example of how heavy the tone can get ? Can you get a Zakk Wylde kinda tone out of this ? some 80's thrash metal ?

[@lowqualityguitarvideos]

Theres lots of gain on tap, but it gets a little spongey and squishy, low end gives out a bit. Not the same as a hot rodded marshall type of overdrive. Its not the best for thrash and stuff that wants more of a tight bottom end. This is better for classic rock (with mid gain) or stoner/desert rock when cranked.

[@houseshoesbto]

i love sleep and orange amps.

[@MegaDarth666]

What a weird yet awesome Les Paul Custom.

[@givemeajackson]

dat strat tone at the beginning!

[@oksmith5171]

At 9:58 your gain setting looks different in the inset from the full amp shot. So which is it?

[@brimill1980]

loving little lover by acdc.... top tune :)

[@leonardotrevisan2538]

little loveeeeeer!!!!!

[@learnerlearns]

Yellow there! I red your comment. I'm green with envy. Now I will play the blues.

[@MojoPenguin]

+1 For Dragonaut ;)

[@devilbeastie]

I guess I was a little hammered when I wrote that ^^

[@SuperDrumhead777]

sounds gooood!!!!!

[@cbrohawn96]

Amp definitely sounds better with LP. Strat doesn't jive with the whole Iommi thang that the amp has going for it. Jordan seems like he would be more comfortable playing SRV or Boston, Foreigner, etc. than the metal he was trying to conjure up.

[@israelbonnard]

This is great but i dont understand why the amp dosent have an fx loop :s

[@devilbeastie]

Ride the dragon toward the crimson eye

[@doomriffmountain]

Fuck yeah, Baroness!

[@VitorDuzarte]

Orange kicks sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many asses. This amp and a big muff. Stoner all the way.

[@azombiestool]

SLEEP! Thank you for good taste in awesomeness.

[@motorrebell]

Nice AC/DC little lover tune ;-)

[@sordidsanctitythrash]

that is the only les paul to ever take my fancy

[@VitorDuzarte]

DRAGONAUT! YES!

[@ElazulVGM]

Wait a minute, you mean to tell me that the OR50 somehow sounds better in person, through a Vintage 30 half-stack than it does through KZbin's god-aweful compression and a set of shitty laptop speakers?! Shocking. Also, maybe have someone take a look at that keyboard of yours. I think the Caps Lock key might be broken...

[@spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

Dat riff, son.

[@Lefoudulancone]

Little Lover

[@MFW1996]

vintage it takes 30 plus years of age to turn a silverburst gold

[@ShoMetal]

Little lover!!!!!!

[@SoloEpi]

My baby's gone shootin'

[@omfg51]

I'm pretty sure it's just this guy who demos it. Every video he demos pretty much sounds like this. You don't really get the variation of tonal capability.

[@ifyouwantblood97]

Gone Shootin' - AC/DC

[@paulcowart3174]

Seems like a HB amp

[@bettermusicgen]

nice selection of guitars.............

[@Wipe1254]

This guy looks like Julian Smith

[@Erador]

Just an old silverburst =P

[@MDK2323]

I didn't know that Leo DiCaprio played guitar? Lol. Nice demo man, great tones. :)

[@BassDude789]

crimson *sky*

[@thefriendlyfinger69]

No

[@keaulana1]

Please Demo the Thunderverb 200

[@EnergyChasm]

sleep, nice

[@dagster115]

naw dewd

[@Quatano93]

I don't get what metal players try to say with the sitting with the guitar between the legs.... Guess they wanna proof they're musical..:P

[@omfg51]

these guys don't know anything about the recording process, otherwise it would sound good. you can't really say that youtube has anything to do with their shitty choice of mic placement

[@flownomis]

baroness riffing

[@jackroulettedares]

just want to crank a fuzz pedal and jam stoner riffs

[@aaronsonofzeus]

Haha Wycked Sceptre!

[@sleepingturtle8888]

SLEEP!!!!!!!

[@joeduf]

\m/ SLEEP! \m/

[@MFW1996]

cause the amp is so good you don't need one

[@MetalheadOfMordor]

ZzzZzzzzz

[@tralfamadore541]

Please equalize the video so the voice wouldn't be that loud and annoying. Skipped the intro, it's unlistenable.

[@zakkeryc]

Why can't I find more than one video of people playing this head that isn't playing classic rock? You know there are young people that'd like to hear what this sounds like for modern music that can't really find one in a local music shop. At least play something that young and older people know like some nirvana or something.

[@tomymaman9533]

Tell the truth? I'm very disappointed very lame amp.

[@warrington_tree_care]

SLEEP!!!!!!!!!
