CORRECTION: Mick says Orange Music started in Charing Cross Road, London in the late 1960s.
It actually began in New Compton St in 1968 - Happy 50th Anniversary to Cliff Cooper and everyone at Orange!
In this video we plug in the Orange OR15 for the first time to see what we can learn. Dan has very limited experience of Orange amps; I have a little more - Mick here - but we’re essentially starting from scratch.
Even if you don’t have an OR15 there are some goodly amp basics in this video, for example the relationship between gain, master and headroom at 7:44 and delays used in the front or in the loop at 15:02. Full timings below…
Apart from all that, we use a selection of common gain types and a new pedal or two to get some tones going. We hope this kind of approach will encourage you to try stuff and raise some questions that will help you with this specific amp and indeed others that might share common features.
Now, we managed to avoid the 7-watt mode entirely. It wasn’t exactly intentional, although may be influenced by the fact that we tend not to use low power modes in any amps. Which doesn’t mean it doesn’t sound good - apologies for the omission. In 7-watt mode you simply get less headroom and more power amp overdrive at lower levels. It’s still plenty loud!
Please enjoy the video…

19 minutes in when you guys were comparing Delay in front or in the loop. “Give her some love in the front end “ then mick turns up the preamp gain. OMG what a badass glorious sound that was. Great playing mick. It’s so obvious to me when you like a sound you immediately break into some sick blues lick.. great show guys
Before we moved, I used an amp switcher to go through my amps and cabs in my studio for recording. I would love flipping through my Mesa Boogie dual rectifier, my Hughes and kettner tm36, my krabk rev series 1 original, and my peavey 6505+, as well as my or15.
But something’s changed this year. And last year as well. So last year I rebuilt my entire pedalboard. I used to use a pedalboard as an addition to my amp. So noise gate, overdrive, delay, chorus. That way any time I switched amps I had a board for my distorted or clean tones. But I started watching shows like this and jhs pedal show, and I wanted to experiment with getting all my tone from pedals. I rebuilt my entire board with some crazy cool gain stages. I noticed my orange or15 was my cleanest amp, very robust and thick midrange. It took pedals so well. That was last year. This year? We moved to a two bedroom and all my amps are in the closet. Except for the or15, which is run clean with a little bit of gain and runs all my 17 pedals.
For gain, I start with the mxr Timmy which is always on. That goes into my mxr phase 90 for fun, and the gain continues with my animals fishing is as fun as fuzz which is a Soviet big muff. Then a nux fet boost (amazing pedal please buy one it’s only $35), which pushes my fuzz into crazy places. But then there’s a screaming blues set up as a deep distortion, and then a blues driver as a creamy overdrive. Then there’s a Wawa ds1 as either full rhythm distortion or a lead, all depends. Also a big muff nano. All of those gain pedals sound so good and clean with zero noise on my or15. Not to mention all the reverb and delays with zero effects loop. I just went straight in, honestly this has changed my playing and my writing. All because I chose the or15 as my amp. I said “no matter what I build this amp will be my foundation.” Solid.
I was at that gig with the Andys and Mark. Fun times! I saw Dan talking to some folks there, and didn't want to interrupt to say hello. Hope to see you again at NAMM next year! You guys are a wealth of information and inspiration! Cheers!
Years late to the party, but that tele into that Orange is godlike...
Yesssss!!! I heard you Dan, sneaking in some Ugly Kid Joe!!!👍👍👍 My old band played that tune!!
You think you're late...
This is just what I needed to get me through Particle Physics revision! Thank you Mick and Dan for all of your great playing and entertainment!
I'm so glad you now play Orange stuff! PLEASE try to make an episode with Matt Pike!!!
Best idea! He'd fill you in about the whole (stoner) doom sound. He could bring 7 or so Orange 100W amps for his sound. But he might not be wearing a shirt - speaking of men's chest!
I would pay to see they search him on google and find videos of Sleep live... oh god. Image the conversation between these two gentlemen and Pike in his freak and wild attitude. Clash of civilizations.
That would in deed be priceless. Holy Mountain live, hehe. Pedal talk wouldn't be too extensive though, I think. Still it would be interesting to hear TPS' opinion on the whole thing which seems to me a lot closer to their preferred blues based sound than other heavy or metal genres. Maybe even dive into the heavy psych with earthless etc.
As a Strat-lover Mick could go crazy for the one of the Earthless guitarist. He is also a big fan of old amps, treble boosters and other things English people know very well ahah
Agreed on the weird strat. Isaiah Mitchell's pedal board would also be worth a look, there are lots of sounds in that.
The depth of field on the two shot in this video is lovely. Looks like a work of art.
Hear me out: one Thursday per month, “That Amp Special” where you take an extended look at an awesome amp. That way you have pick n mix on Tuesdays, regular show Friday, once a month amp Special Thursday
We’d love to do more Cody. Working towards that. :0)
this is the first Amp I unpacked, turned to 12 and practically never changed anything. Love at first powerchord
Whether it was the wine, the pizza, or just being tired, this was the most fun episode of TPS I have seen for a while.
Great video, thanks for covering this amp! I have owned the OR15 for over 2 years now and it is a well made great sounding amp. It has an excellent range for a single channel amp, as your demo showed. Thanks!
D.S. Garrett hey dude, how does the OR15 do live volume wise? Can it keep up with drums easily enough or does it have to be cranked to match a drummer? Thanks!
I'm happy to say, you guys just shipped my shirt! Keep it up, you guys are awesome!
Guitar stuff aside, I must say the tech work you've done behind the scenes since you first started however many years (!) ago has paid off. Your new stuff sounds and looks incredible. Could (and should) be on telly.
Man thats some juicy tones. The great thing about Orange is they are quality at all price points.
All the Snarky Puppy players are outstanding musicians. Can listen to them for hours. Awesome show as always guys.
I have an OR-15 that I wanted to get rid off. Seeing this changed my mind. Thx Tone Doctors
I laughed so much and smiled all the time with these post-pizza stories. Thanks! So much funny stuff, so much legendary quotes, so much friendship.
Cheers Tom, we feel it! Thanks for watching. :0)
This was my favorite amp I have ever owned. Great for rock and more. My favorite settings was all eq turned all the way up with my firebird. It just wasn’t loud enough for me at times.
Mick, here's a display of sad geekiness for you. When you played that clip from the "Coupe" single it sounded very familiar, so I played it over a few times and it came to me. It was very similar to the demo of the Fender Telebration you did for Guitarist in 2012. I learned that sequence and used to play it as a warmer upper!
If you're going to have Rabea on again might I suggest having him demonstrate how he uses fuzz with his high gain sounds. Cause some of the fuzz tones he gets are obscene, over the top, too much, and f'n glorious.
Yes please, all of that
That J. Rockett ruled! The first sound Dan dialed in for Mick with the 335 was perfect. Really powerful pedal, I'm intrigued.
As a player of an OR15 I really enjoyed this episode. You highlighted all the the issues I’ve found with the amp over the years that I’ve had it. It’s a shame I can’t put a picture up of my settings but I had to roll off the preamp gain. The fizz was too much for my ears! I’m now pushing the output more to the edge of breakup and because I have an OX I’m not going deaf. I also decided to run the Wampler Dual Fusion as my overdrive. I’m able to play much more with the dynamics of the guitar to get the tone I want.
At the end of the day I don’t think this amp will be a keeper for me. But I’ve had it 3 years and it’s only now I’m getting the best out of it. I’ve learnt to be persistent in getting good tone!
Listened to the podcast last night, this makes so much more sense when you can see the video and amp settings. Great review!
Ha! Indeed. People were asking us for the podcasts. We knew there would be parts that didn’t make sense, but people wanted them anyway! Cheers!
I really enjoy these more exploratory episodes, thanks y'all!
I was watching The Grand Tour last night and thinking to myself, you guys should be at that production level by now. Awesome shows and just as entertaining, and more importantly, educational as TGT. Thanks again guys!
Bloody hell. They have a budget of 100s of 1000s. We’re not even in the same sport let along he same game. Ever hired a helicopter, a pilot and filmed in Italy?! That would be four years budget for us before we’d even turned a camera on. :0)
That Pedal Show haha! Yeah! But you guys should be there. Your show is just as well done with just as much potential! ;)
Hey guys, just want to say well done and thank you for what you do. Shame about the old place but enthused and energized for the hints you've given for the future. Thanks guys
I actually liked the delay in the fx loop better. Super video on the OR15, definitely an amp I will check out!
The 2 overdrive pedals I have are the OCD and Tube Screamer!! I play an Orange Rocker 32 it has 2 channels, the clean is incredible. You guys should give it a try!
Thanks for making such great videos! Very helpful and entertaining.
The best thing about Orange amps is the way they look. I’ve got a 35RT or some crap, I got it as an ornament in the cave! Great show again 🤟
Put a V30 in the 35RT and crank it up. It does more than just look good.
AD50 handwired in UK here too. Great with lower gain preamp valves and NOS valves all round. Been loving it for 5 years now.
Great show guys! Would love to see more Orange on the show! Maybe a big beastly one?!?! Hahaha. My mum bought me a little 30 watt solid state orange for my first amp about 15-20 years ago and I still have it and love its sound!
Lovely humbucker sounds. Great video guys!
Awesome tones today lads!!! I have an Orange TH30 which, I love for the clean channel... the dirty channel set clean with the power amp cooking is also an amazing sound with slightly more mids as you found here with the OR15
Always liked the AD30 Chris. Thanks for watching!
I am into clean sound and I love orange. The "dirty" channel or the natural distortion of the single channel amps is very usable for me.
Awesome video! when you guys were doing the Orange TT; I kept screaming: Dime the master volume. That's these small orange amps sound best/most open. keep it up gang. I'm addicted to your channel.
Getting more from your Blackstar HT5!!!
Cracking show chaps. I’ve always fancied an Orange AD30R, but this baby is sweet!
Guys, I’d love to see an Orange AD30 in an episode. It would be really helpful to see you two out one through its paces, finding the cleans, the filth, and all useful points between. Love the show!
I regret selling this amp, but super glad I got a good deal on a used Orange Ad30. I love the mid range focus of many Orange amps and how warm they sound. Orange really pokes through a mix without being spikey or harsh sounding. I also think of more humbucker tones than single coil tones with Orange.
Love it when you guys burst into a well known song ... aka Oh Well. 😃😃😃 More of that please 👌
I like that amp with my chisel pickups. Chisel cleaning up so nicely the distortion from OR15. Clean tones and dirt can be controlled nicely from the guitar's volume knob and my fingers....
Oh, Mick! Rocking The Shadows😄 love it...
So laid back. It's like That Pedal Show, live from the Fremantle Festival.
Great playthrough of the OR15! Would love to see a side by side between it and the new Orange Rocker 15 Terror!
Please do some Matamp stuff and/or some stoner/doom/heavy psych tones. Please! Do it!
Agreed. Not enough stoner support
I wish, wish, wish they would review a Green Matamp GT120
Big matamp, stoner and doom fan- but- don’t forget their clean/ peter green sound too though. Albatross was recorded with a matamp s2000, such a nice tone!!
All I know from Orange is my Rockerverb50. I love the clean channel cranked! With humbuckers, it starts to crack and compress at around 3/10. These days, for most overdrive needs, I use my Kingsley Harlot in the clean channel. Only bringing in the overdrive channel of the amp for 80's distortion type rhythms and leads.
I've been waiting for this video! You guys should definitely get an Orange amp with more power like a Rockerverb 50/100 or AD30. Played a Rockerverb 50 watt through a Marshall 4x12 for the first time the other day and man!!! it sounded immense!
Thanks for the shows, you guys are great! I see the DB meter was set for C weighting. That's generally used for measuring machinery (like power tools) where it is flat across the full frequency spectrum which will result in a higher DB reading. "A" weighting is more tuned to what the human ear hears and it's generally what we sound engineer's use for PA system sound measurements etc.... The DB measurements in the room may sound more accurate to what you're hearing if you switch it from C to A.
Technically speaking: The "A" weighted sound level discriminates against low frequencies, in a manner similar to the response of the ear. In this setting, the meter primarily measures in the 500 to 10,000 Hz range. It is the weighting scale most commonly used for OSHA and DEQ regulatory measurements.
The "C" weighted sound level does not discriminate against low frequencies and measures uniformly over the frequency range of 30 to 10,000 Hz. This weighting scale is useful for monitoring sources such as engines, explosions, and machinery. The sound levels measured with these two weightings have units of "dBA" and "dBC", respectively.
Justin E * Thank you, very informative.
Hello guys! I can't stop watching this video, the tunes you got of that OR15 with those pedals were so tasty! Any chance you can revisit this little head exploring the heavier sounds you can get out of it? I'm so close to get one, but I would love to see your input before as well
Never owned one but always kinda wanted one, ever since watching Kossoff get some glorious tones out of one. Back in the mid 90's I watched The Hoax dozens of times and remember Jesse favouring them, might have even been before he got more into the Fender amps. Anyhow, kids up to bed and just pouring myself a beer with this episode due to play in less than two minutes...
Cheers! Enjoy that beer!
Another great show guys, even if it was late Friday, end of the week tired with too much pizza and wine. By the way beer goes with pizza not wine LOL. I am looking forward to seeing your show from your new location. You have made mention of the TPS Band on several occasions and I am hoping to see guitar/amp/pedal combinations presented in the context of a full band. So many times we work up what we think is a great sound and take it to band rehearsal and find that it doesn't work with the rest of the band playing. Maybe some shows with the full band demonstrating this concept. Once again great show, thanks.
Thought I was the only one who didn’t like effect loops. Can’t wait to see if y’all try out the milkman pedal amp.
16:27 Love that Take Five little piece
Super glad you mentioned Sludge and DOOM! Could you explore more of those sonic sounds?
No apologies needed for the tangent. That was awesome.
What I got from this video is that I should never ever get rid of my OCD. The thought entered my mind a few weeks back and lingered.... but my God does it sound great! The OR15 was ok, just not the sound I’m after. I’ve been happy with the Dr. Z Z-28 1x10 with gold for over 6 years now. Great grab and go brown style 2x6V6 style amp. Loved this episode. Got to learn some more about an amp company I’m unfamiliar with.
Quite right on using the G 12 H30. Tim Sult of Clutch uses (or used) that combination with a P90 pick up to make the first album. Which is essential for any orangeheaded user of Orange heads.
Love that Take 5 jam starting at 16:28.
As soon as Dan hit the first note I was like....thats an orange! What more can you ask for? I'm playing my orange through g12 creambacks. It's a match made in dirty bliss. Thanks for doing this lads. I picked up a hdrx20 and kinda want one of these as well.
The OCD into the Orange was the tone of the day. Mick was on one, though, playing a bit of "Time Out", mentioning Doom Metal, and also shouting out Del Amitri. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Now that’s some scope right there! :0)
"It's there if you need it." I love it!
I didnt like a tubescreamer for a long time, i should say didnt get or understand their way of function as to push a cranked amp into dam that sounds good mode. Ala older fender well now iv got 2 tubescreamers, jus bcause i can. Lol ,,learned it on that pedal show from the UK. Actually learned quite a bit from u guys, very useable info. THANK U,, very much !
Just bought tye OR15 with a 1x12 cab sounds so good!
I'm thinking of doing the same. How do you like it so far?
Bought one of these , sold all my pedals, they are that good.
Great show as usual fellas! Would love to see some DR. Z. on the show at some point!
Dustin Thiessen my favorite amp I ever played was a doctor z remedy. I'd love to see those 2 making it scream
I'd love to see you guys do an in-depth look at the Orange Pedal Baby.
Hi guys! Did you notice that with pedals on this Orange all the tone/eq knobs were almost always set near the lowest or highest setting? Dan mentioned it when he was trying to get a Klone sound from the Melody. In my experience normally the tone knobs are set near the middle, so I found it interesting and worth mentioning! Cheers, TPS is my fav show.
I just received a ClusterFuzz in the mail, about to rock it out. Damn I love the guitar, and all the associated noise.
YESn
Would love to see a 'Getting the best from a Blackstar HT5R' video, it's a very popular little amp. Would love to see if you guys agree on where the ISF knob should be set?
Always cool to see different amps on the show. You mentioned maybe doing Blackstar in the future. It would also be super cool to see a Hiwatt (or Hiwatt type amp) if you could get your hands on one. Love the old Page/Gilmour tones and have never had the chance to play one. Anyway, always dig the show. Thanks for all you guys do. I've learned so much watching. Cheers!
We really want a Hiwatt, Tyler and moves are afoot to make that happen. There’s a weird ownership issue with the brand globally so if that ever gets sorted, we’ll get one.
I have rhis amp and with Celestion heritage greenbacks sounds absolutely sick!!! Sounds way better than what you are hearing in this demo...
I crank the treble and mids - bass just past half - gain on half boosted -
Sick sick sick amp
Best show in a while, cool :)
I’ve tried a few things with my OR15. 1.Clean pedal platform with a Timmy, surprisingly good. 2. Setting the amp gain around 11:00 for crunch and riding the volume knob. It can get a bit ratty, but when it’s dialed in, it rawks
The ratty/rawk thing is what gets you heard in a band. Orange does that so well. :0)
Have a Micro Dark and can confirm it behaves like this exactly. I'm thinking of swapping tubes in the preamp to see if I can get breakup a little further up the gain knob so I don't have to ride the volume quite so much and get a little more room for pedals. Thinking a vintage 12au7 or 5751. Hopefully it tames it a little bit.
Wasn't really feeling the Orange until you kicked in the OCD. There you go!!
Good episode,great channel.Would love to see you guys get your hands on a marshall sl5 and do a similar video.
The best part about this video is watching you guys find a good tone in an amp. It’s reassuring to see you find bad tones but then stick with it and find the good tones. I’m learning a lot here. Usually, if I plug into an amp and it’s too overdriven or I don’t like the tone immediately I decide it’s a bad amp... I’m reevaluating that.
Murray Williams yeah man most amps are more versatile than you think. Its rare you plug into an amp and it sounds amazing right away unless someone else messed with it before you. Anyways i always spend some time with an amp before deciding thumbs up or down. But im with you i learn alot from this show. Love it.
Yeah, it seems pretty obvious now ... I’ve always been a pedal guy so a way overdriven amp sent me running. But even in an amp that wants to drive immediately there’s useable tone for us pedal heads.
Murray Williams for sure my man!
Hers a secret for experts ! I can find every tone i want without even touching the ( ORANGE ) Amp - BY USING THE GUITAR KNOBS !!
Please get Matt Pike, it'd be one of the best episodes ever!
He runs 2 different pedalboards into 2 orange amps with a a third one running dry. The guy is an absolutely genius tone sculptor and if he clicks on the right pedal your mind might just be blown...
back in the 90s when SLEEP made dopesmoker, it took a while for the public to catch on but as time went on people began to realise that this slow, grinding and repetitive fuzzed out metal - influenced record has an undeniable ability to draw its listeners into hypnagogic states where one may be able to see inside the workings of their inner psyche...
You see, Matt Pike uses these orange amps and fuzz boxes to help us see the light and embrace the spiritual side of all music, add a new layer of depth to our artistry and hopefully someone somewhere might find god in one of your songs. Music is a religion after all, at least it is mine. Nobody gets killed, everyone's fulfilled and good times are had 😝😝😝😝
Nice work again gents. That Page certainly has a way of making things sound much more expensive! :-)
Oh yes. Very, very, very nice thing to have!
I would love to see a video on ‘how to get the most from your Bassbreaker 15’
batoli20 PLEASE DEAR GOD PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS WISE PERSON, D & M!!!
..very happy with my Bb15....
PLEASE DEAR LORD PLEASE DO IT!!!
...very...happy..with..it.. :-
I second that. Proud BB15 owner here too!
Alexander Acker And it's perfect for them because you just *can't* use the Fx loop in half of them...
They have a show called "which 15 watt amp" where they share their views on the blues junior, bassbreaker 15 and ac15. Worth watching.
Matt Gilbert they did a segment with BB15, Blues Jr and Vox about 3 months ago so not sure they will cover it again but hey it never hurts to ask
Sounds great. I had an ad30, I couldn't turn it up full ever, too loud with a 4x12 cabinet. Thinking of getting this or15. Do you think it's good enough for full band blues rock?
Robert Smith (of The Cure) was using AD30s or AD120s at Wembley in 2008 - brilliant sound and pedal platform.
I just got my D&M drive..love it!
Guys, maybe a silly idea but what I would really like to see is a show where you take a solid state amp, a Roland BluesCube for instance and put a tube pre-amp ( a Kingsley perhaps?) in front of it or in the effects loop. People at Synergy amps claim that if you stick one of their modules in the effects loop it would greatly enhance the tone of a bluescube. Thanks!
PS: can't wait to see the first show in your new "home"
drive pedal with graphic eq is genius!
You both make great videos
Put an EP booster in the loop as an always on pedal. Gets rid of all fizz and sounds fantastic
Just tried my whiteface rat through the loop (predictably doesn't work well through the front) and man it's like I have a whole other dimension to this amp! Definitely going to be trying some more drive pedals through it, especially fuzz
Thanks for a great show once more!
Could you feature other fulltone drive pedals? fulltone fulldrive 2 mosfet?
or other keeley drive pedals? Keeley Super Phat Mod Overdrive?
And there it is, an Ugly Kid Joe riff hehehe. That put a smile on my face, thanks. Great video as always.
Well done, lads. Doing anything while you're in a food coma is not easy and trying to fondle headroom from a 15w amp is hard enough in the best of times let alone when you're pizza/wine combination is fomenting and moving you ever closer to feeling like a solid-state amp with a non-buffered FX loop. Way to power through and give us a nice review, Dan...nice to know you're willing to fall on the grenade for our entertainment pleasure...or at least fall on the pizza as it were. ;)
Solid state. Loops..... probably never going to really make us happy. Super Reverb, Marshall Plexi, Vox AC30, Deluxe, Princeton etc etc. That’s where guitar sound came from. It’s never been bettered. Maybe refined, but that’s where it is for me. Mick here. :0)
Couldn't agree more, Mick. 65 Twin here and a 1987 Marshall 25/50 Silver Jubilee. As I always say, REAL AMPS GLOW IN THE DARK. ;)
Love the Demo of the OR15. It's got some great rock tones - thinking it would be better matched with the Vintage 30 speaker which might better match the top end harmonics from this amp. Finding some love for these lower wattage amps. I just picked up a Marshall Mini Jubilee - really loving the variety of tone, sensitivity and articulation. Play it with my ShawBucker Strat and love the tones from all three pickups in all 5 positions. Really suprised how great it sounds clean and how well it takes pedals. My Deluxe Reverb might be in trouble :).
Well, considering that Orange matches their amps w/V30s, you'd be right. Their cabs and combos usually ship loaded w/ V30s. I run a Tiny Terror through both a 4x12 straight w/ 25w Greenbacks and a 1x12 with a V30 - both are fantastic with humbuckers, especially for a head you can find in like-new condition for $300 all over the place.
14:20 whaaa? Nooo these amps sparkle beautifully with singles! Though Orange for sure does gain sounds on hums like thunder too...
Hi guys,
This has nothing to do with Orange, although I do sometimes wet/dry my tiny terror with my AC15.
I must have been babbling too much about how great it is so for my birthday I finally got my D&M drive! It sits between my Dark Side & Slide Rig.
Love the show! I've learned a ton from you guys. Oh, and so far I have three shirts. BTW this birthday I turned 65. Confuses the hell out of them when I hit the grocery store in a TPS shirt and my Dropkick Murphys hat.
Keep it up guys!
Tony
We love you Tony, and not just because you buy our stuff. But we love you for that too! Congrats on the six-five - now you’re properly rock’n’roll! We hope you love that D&M Drive as much as we do. Thank you for watching and a giant HAPPY BIRTHDAY from us. :0)
Effects loop for the delay was great! Putting it before you ended up with the repeats sounding cleaner than the dry sound....or did I just hear ‘Laurel’?
Could you guys do a video on the TH30? Am curious about how you would feel about the single contour knob on the gain channel because i dunno about it eather lol. I am wanting that orange sound however i cant really swing the $1000 or so for a used rockerverb and i cant compete with my band mates 50 watter with 15 watts ill be buried. Im curious how the th30 stacks up
excellent as always ....can I second the request for an in depth look at the Bassbreaker 15
Hahahaha I loved when Mick threw the db meter😂
If you guys had a podcast, I’d never miss an episode
Kossoff and free used Orange amps quite a bit around 71/72 and with his dirty lemon LP it sounded awesome.
If you ever needed evidence that we do our best work after 9pm with a couple of wines on board... great playing guys (and anecdotes)!
Hooray!
The reason I ask is that I like the sound of a Morgan amp that does not have effects lop, but when I watch the one video where you used the maiden and the Paige through the loop made me reconsider getting a Morgan and look at the Two Rock. Some say that the amp doesn’t sound as good with effects loops as a single Chanel amp without effects loops. Can you guys give your opinion on this. It can help me make a decision on amps. I like the Dumble tone. But that is just my opinion.
Have you guys done any video looking at the single channel AD30? or only slightly related, the Vox AC4 with a 12" speaker?
