This Amp Is A BEAST! ORANGE OR30

[@marcoshahahaha]

Best channel for who can't handle AC/DC riffs on reviews anymore!

[@FuzzedDrones]

This 🙏🏼🙏🏼^

[@ande047]

Thank you! Thought I was the only one that noticed that. Every KZbin video of gear reviews/demos that I watch are either super noodlers or some bozo playing back in black or sweet child of mine. Similarly to walking into a guitar center at any time of the day. 😂

[@specialops728]

I’d rather hear AC/DC riffs than reviews who do blues scales all day. At least AC/DC makes pretty heavy doom riffs

[@Myself6M]

Jesus Christ! I have never heard anything like it. So much balls, so much authority and tightness at the same time... I am sold, I am fucking ordering one.

[@chrisegonmusic]

Being English, I should really fill my house with Orange and Matamp. I feel it is my duty. Production looking really smart my friend!

[@FuzzedDrones]

I like that idea . Yeah this one will fit right in with my GT120MV . Those two together will be a godly tone . Thanks for checking this one out .

[@chrisegonmusic]

@@FuzzedDrones I am currently on the Matamp website looking at the GT120MV. Would like it to have some sort of low power option but to be honest, I like a lot of headroom nowadays so I can get distortion purely from the pedalboard. So maybe I can justify it 🤔

[@mikhailshi]

​​@@chrisegonmusicMatamp is sick, I've only had one around 2012, the 5W Miniverb (factory reference sample in white vinyl), it was a great amp, the photos of the inside handwiring have been lost in the last 12 years but it was oh so clean.

[@chrisegonmusic]

@@mikhailshi Ah nice!

[@sorazmasterofdoom]

I've been wanting one of these since the initial demos came out. Such a perfect single channel beast.

[@FuzzedDrones]

It really is a great amp . I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did. Thanks for checking this one out .

[@sepherus]

The OR50 is my favorite Orange I've played. This one is sounding a lot like it. I hope I get to crank one up soon.

[@FuzzedDrones]

Man I would love to compare those two and see how they stack up against one another .

[@1thess523]

I remember trying the OR 15 at Guitar Center and I was totally impressed and wanted one immediately.

[@danielkosmider8715]

Really dig the low wattage setting. More amps need this option.

[@albo3music]

I immediately subscribed after hearing that intro riff. Finally a gear reviewer who knows how to mix their tracks correctly xD

[@FuzzedDrones]

Well I’m happy to have you here ! I can’t take credit for that mixing job . My partner John who I do these videos with did all the mixing . But happy to hear you liked this one .

[@Vhighking]

Some vitamin c for the ear holes. 🤘

[@kenman91]

Orange never fail Tom disappoint maybe the 1800 price is a bit hight but the tones for a 30watt sound amazing

[@mybloodypatton]

I’ve wanted an Orange amp forever. This is probably more than I need but it sounds great. Love the mid scoop

[@blazerdowns]

Maybe you mis-spoke. All tube guitar amplifies are rectified; either tube or diode. AND because all guitar tube amps have AB power sections (push-pull) it has four (4) EL84 power tubes not three (3) EL34. However, it does have three (3) 12AX7 pre amp tubes. Anyway, ORANGE amps are awesome and have their own thing going on. Great video!!

[@K707OR30]

Thanks for doing this, my brain broke when I got to that part of the video and didn’t want to have to be that guy in the comments with the corrections.

[@johnathan.jerusik]

I love my rocker 30! The OR50 is a grail amp. I wonder how the or30 compairs to the or50

[@FuzzedDrones]

Never played a rocker but I hear they are great . I wish I could get my hands on a OR50 to compare the two .

[@johnathan.jerusik]

@FuzzedDrones the main difference I have seen are the OR50 is 2 el34s no rectifier tubes and no FX loop. Sound wise I am not sure. Obviously the or30 has also a few more bells and whistles. The rocker 30 to me is a bit less saturation more open sounding. I can get the mastodon type tone all day. It's aggressive and mean. I find it has enough gain for me, especially to play stuff like the sword or red fang. A OD boost type pedal gets it into the higher gain modern sound.

[@MichaelThomasOflaherty]

The Orange OR 30 is an awesome stage amplifier

[@MarkoLaurentOnline]

If 2x12 with swamps sound this good, imagine a 4x12 with swamps

[@-cobainism-]

dude these oranges with an hm2 sounds NASTY as fuck

[@guitarnerd_luke]

Sounds good. Wouldn't swap my Matamp GT1 for it, but the OR30 is still a nice add for lower volumes.

[@justvoss47]

My band has the honor of opening for Dozer in September, my goal is to get this in time for that show

[@captainhonan]

Got a good Rammstein sound to it I love it

[@psyburn21]

This may become my first tube amp. I already have a Super Crush 100 that's been doing well.

[@FuzzedDrones]

This and the crush would be a great combo !

[@jesusangeles19995]

​@@FuzzedDrones Have you done a review on the super crush 100? And how does it stack up to the or30, i have a super crush and i think it sounds pretty damn good but really interested in the or30 cuz it sounds heavy as hell

[@skullfacemorte]

I have a Rockerverb MK1 and the TH-100z the Rockerverb is my go too for B standard tuned guitars , but this OR -30 has my attention!

[@saturnskull1242]

If you had to choose between this and and a matamp (gt1 or gt120) as your high end amp, what would it be? Which would you buy?

[@FuzzedDrones]

Well that’s a good question . Now if I’m using this as a high gain amp . I would go with the OR30 all day . I have the GT120MV and I really wouldn’t consider that a high gain amp . It’s very flat sounding amp. It really doesn’t do the whole metal thing very well unless you boosting it with something . GT1 I’ve never been a fan of but people love em . Just something about that amp I really didn’t like that much .

[@saturnskull1242]

@@FuzzedDrones cool thnx for the insight!

[@bryce3737]

Very cool, I’m always down to watch some Orange demos!

[@graemedixon6314]

Awesome demo sounds brutal. I had a crush pro 120 and a super crush 100 and didn't really like either...maybe I should try one of oranges tube amps.

[@fizzs2354]

My biggest issue with this amp(and my th30) is i really do find myself wanting these tones with more headroom.

[@FuzzedDrones]

I’ve owned a TH30 while back and I do have to say the OR30 might have it on headroom . But wish I never got rid of that TH30 it was a great amp .

[@scottbrady2301]

I own this amp along with some of the other big orange heads...this is my favorite amp Orange have ever made.....its awesome for metal....great demo and Riffs btw....maybe you could do a similar one for the dual dark

[@Coastal-Sasquatch]

How do you compare to dual dark obvs their different but I'm curious

[@scottbrady2301]

@@Coastal-Sasquatch obviously both have the orange flavour, but for me the OR30 is a much tighter, clearer and heavier amp….it really blew me away….the presence knob changes the amp from other orange heads……we’ve been begging orange for years to include one….go to a store and try one mate…:)

[@Coastal-Sasquatch]

​@scottbrady2301 Thanks for the feedback mate, will do! Might just pull the trigger too 😄

[@harryswitzer5977]

I’ve been relentlessly check the channel for this demo. I wanted this amp when the first previews were coming out but most demo channels don’t demo for the HEAVY. The DOOM. The SLUDGE. Been looking to downgrade in wattage at home but didn’t want to loose the magic that comes with the big 100 watters.

[@electricmeatpuppet]

I feel ya, although to be fair most people don't run 100W heads on more than about the equivalent of about 30-40W until you start playing big stages, even then it can still be a lot... mind you that's not getting into headroom n all that.

[@FuzzedDrones]

Well hopefully this demo delivered . I had a great time doing this one . Def one of my favorite oranges to date .

[@mikerauter1859]

This is absolutely killer Zach. Great demo.

[@FuzzedDrones]

Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼 appreciate you !

[@XChristianNoirX]

At least in this demo, I loved the response and distortion character but I'd probay have to throw an EQ in the loop.

[@Trollkarlswe]

Sounds awesome! 🍊

[@FuzzedDrones]

🤘🏻🍊🤘🏻

[@ErrorCode-1]

i need to decide between this or the rockerverb

[@TheMaxxPenn]

Would love to see a shootout of the or30 and ch50.

[@jimtroeltsch5998]

I think it soudns best without the overdrive. The overdrive made it sound a bit fizzy, still great though

[@FuzzedDrones]

Hey to checked their own . Me personally I liked it with a OD in front . But everyone will run it however they prefer . Thanks for checking it out .

[@ande047]

Man this amp sounds good. What tuning were you in during your lighter drive with delay part (around the 5:30 mark)? Kinda reminded me a bit of Russian Circles. I used to have a RV mkiii and just felt like it was too squishy and loose. This amp sounds so much better

[@FuzzedDrones]

So for that section I was in DADGAD . I’ve said it before but this amp took me by surprise . I’ve been a big fan of the rockerverb for a while now . But the minute I started playing this . I knew this was the orange for me .

[@CTripodi1965]

Sounds really good. I really like the tone to it. Sounds like it is a versatile amp that can to all types of Metal. I was looking really hard at the OR15 a couple of years back, but I didn't think 15 watts would power the two 60 watt speakers I have so I chose the Orange Pro Crush 120. (Bang for the buck since I'm a my house only guitarist). Too bad this amp wasn't around a couple of years back, I would have gotten it. The FX loop is a must for me.

[@FuzzedDrones]

The Crush 120 is a solid amp as well . I had one awhile back and really liked it . Like you said it’s a heck of a bang for your buck🤘🏻

[@FuzzedDrones]

Hey man your Marches pedal giveaway winner . Shoot me a DM on IG 🤘🏻.

[@Bigchief1066]

Another great vid man. Tnx!

[@FuzzedDrones]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@mooheesmetal5506]

Nice video! Agreed I think the versatility of the OR30 is the best feature with the presence knob / full EQ and brightness switches you can dial in tons of different metal genre tones. I usually use an OD or mid boost.

[@officialironman]

Great demo. The amp does indeed rip.

[@FuzzedDrones]

Thanks for checking it out !

[@justinlarson8801]

Next time try it with a TS or a Klon type in the front.

[@intrentnet]

3x EL34’s? I think you meant 4x EL84’s and a 5AR4 rectifier. Anyways sounds great. I have an ‘06 UK built Rocker 30 and it’s my favorite amp. 30 watts is just the right amount in my opinion.

[@FuzzedDrones]

You’re absolutely right that was just something I slipped up on . After doing a few of these demos in a night . The brain gets fried very quickly 😂

[@Fresh_I.S.C.]

instant classic!

[@danharding9136]

Great vid. New sub. Something no one touches on. 30 watt or 2 watt. So its basically very loud or very quiet. 15 to 20 watt is where i want to live. Does that discount this amp?

[@dragonX71]

God dang that thing sounds mean

[@FuzzedDrones]

😉

[@andybelii]

What do you think: ad30 or this or custom shop 50?) I don’t know…

[@chadtarrington6057]

Amp sounds killer!! Nice to see a UK build 🤘 BUT.....and i know this is small gripes but...i really wish Orange would drop that font they've been using recently, to me it just looks like someone stepped all over the logo🤦‍♂️...the older one was so much stronger looking google a th100 if yeah don't know what mean...but yeah, great amp...lets see an OR100🤘

[@Polyphemus.]

I prefer the previous font too, but the current one is based on the font from the shopfront of the original Orange music shop in Covent Garden, London in the late 60s and 70s and which was also used on early 70s 'pics only' amps. Ade's been slowly trying to bring back the look of the 'pics only' amps for years now. I doubt they'll change it any time soon!

[@chadtarrington6057]

@Polyphemus. ahh...ok, thanks for the info👍...but, I still say the guy in Orange history who changed it to the 'one' we all know should stand correct... looks stronger, yet still with that 'folklore mystery' that attracts us doomy guys. (I know full well it's small beans😉)

[@13aphomet]

Sounds pretty badass.. Prolly not loud enough to gig tho right? So like a recording only amp?

[@FuzzedDrones]

You can most certainly gig with this

[@justicefxx]

I’ve this amp and it gets as loud as most 100 watt heads. Read up on the decibel output specs. Our drummer is super loud and I still have to turn down.

[@Myself6M]

Would you say the or30 is similar sounding to an or120 or an od120?

[@FuzzedDrones]

IMO not at all

[@Myself6M]

​@@FuzzedDronesSo, what does it sound more similar to?

[@CryptToneMusic]

Wish it was like 100+ watts haha. It sounds amazing but I would be worried about headroom and volume in a live situation

[@nathanmachine-]

i imagine that you can get there but you’ll need pedals in front to tighten up the distortion (maybe compressor and high gain distortion from say a lichtlaerm) because it’s not ideally setup for that genre but like any amp it can probably do it - which makes me think you can probably get where you want to go with many cheaper more available amps.

[@pattaricotelephono2874]

[@FuzzedDrones]

To each their own . Me personally I really don’t need two channels . Just for the fact that I always run a somewhat dirty amp . This one has a bit more bite to it compared to the Rockerverb . Both great amps but this one does it for me . But like I said before everyone has their own taste .

[@TuneLow_DieSlow]

The amp sounds great but I think 1799$ is overpriced. 🤷‍♂

[@flyingrat492]

Especially since their hand wired custom amp costs about the same, you could get 3 OR15s for the price, I think $1300 would be more reasonable

Fuck all amps are too expensive. You'd think with the advancement of technology things would get cheaper.
