This guy is almost too good at demoing amps. He always gets a great sound! I would love to see ten seconds of terrible audio just to know he's human.
I just really like the tone of an orange amp. Very versatile in my opinion.
Awesome demo! That clean arrangement with the SC-20 sounded amazing. The dirty stuff was cool too.
This sounds so good..love the lead harmonies in the beginning too
Loved it.
Your music and riffs that you create are really deep and technical👍 Keep going😎
Great playing and fantastic demo! This is at the top of my "must buy" amp list, your review has totally helped reinforce that haha!
Oh wow, I just saw your post about this guy on the Orange Amp Owners group on FB. I saw the thumbnail of this video. And was like oh hey it’s the same guy! Great demo by the way
liking this format! curious to see the comparison videos.
Ordering the 100 tomorrow! I really liked the Crunch Tones and Tele Tones you got! Nice clarity!
Really enjoy hearing your opinion on things. The talk through and your thoughts are really good for a comparison. You should do it with more of your videos !
Thanks, much appreciated!
Wow, what an amazing amp!! What do you guys think? :)
Nice!
Sounds remarkable! Can you do a Multiwatt 3 Chan recto vs older 3 Chan recto comparison?
@@BPToneReview I'd love to... who knows... one day!
I think you make everything sound awesome, Jon! 😁 But, being an Orange user and fan myself, I have to agree that this amp is absolutely glorious! Cheers! 🍻
@@RicardoPintoMusic glorious! I like that ;)
Thanks for the comparisons! Thanks in part to information you provided I decided between the OR50, RV MkII and RV MKIII. I bought a RV50 MKII because of the tube selection options and effects loop.
Cheers!
excellent tones buddy, perfect combo with that ltd eclipse elite 1!! very versatile amp!!!
Every time I want to see a high gain amp done right you always come through 🙏
Have the shirt and the combo version of the amp! Great demo/vid!
Love your original stuff!
beautiful riffs, as usual
Killer riffs man 🔥
Killer Sound and Killer Riffs man!
Sounded great. You always bring the best out of amps. Ya the all orange comparison would be cool as well a a comparable Marshall comparison
Your a great player and TH-camr. Thanks man
This definitely reinforces my decision to supplement my lo-wattage rig with a Crush 20 - the preamp is supposed to be based on the Rockerverb, and adds a Sunn Beta-esque solid state grit to my multiple signal paths. I built 2 2x12s about 20 years ago, and still use them as my main source of projection. My DSL20 (yes, your demo helped me masks up my mind in that one too) goes through a closed back 200w cab and I have a 3-channel mix going through an open back cab, and the combined impact and bass response of those two and the Orange is MASSIVE and super fat. But I’m off track here…
Oh yeah, so once again, your skill at this type of demo is unrivaled by any other content creator I have seen. And your positive vibes and demeanor are something we could all aspire to. Well-done, sir. I dig your style!
Hey Jon your videos helped me pull the trigger when a used but great condition RV100 MKIII popped up in my local gear market for a GREAT price. This has become one of my favorite amps over the past weeks - I'm barely touching my 5150 and modellers. The thick, guttural Orange filth is addicting for heavy riffs and the juicy midrange is a dream for leads. Boosted, it's another animal with so much focused punchiness. Absolutely love it.
awesome as always
I love his playing but I once watched a video where he used 4 different amps and the same IR and made all of them sound incredible. I just wish he would throw a cab underneath and let err rip. I just don’t think we are gonna get the same sound from amp if we brought it home. I love this channel and this was no stab at anything so.. just throwing it out there.
Great review!
I recently got a Rockerverb 100 MKIII and I couldn't be happier. The gain channel goes about as hard as you want with a good mid-range cut and the clean channel has a sparkle quality to it, really shines!
Great riffs 🤘 !!! I've never owned an amp except for a Peavey Rage 158 practice amp! lol! Lucky for me i have a Line 6 Helix now..and some OwnHammer IR's!
I'm hoping for an Engle & Orange amp comparison!
Love the tone. I started out with a creme tolex Fender Bassman in the mid 1960's.Various amps over the years. The tone on this thing is great. These days Helix Floor and two Powercabs with Ownhammer IRs loaded.
Orange is my fav amps ever so I understand your excitement, congrats bro!
I bought a Rockerverb 100 MK III partially because of you. I just love it
the song you made for the crunch tones is AMAZING. JUST PLAIN BEAUTIFUL SOUNDING. And the amp tone is great. Cuts well in the mix. Maybe one of the greatest amps ever? even better than a JCM800?
Hey John! Could we see some videos of your live shows? I would love to see what bands you play in and here your music!
I owned an AD30 in 2006. I had it modded and it sounded like the rockerverb today. I sold it but now I'm thinking about getting the Rockerverb because it sounds soooo good. Your riffing is right up my alley.
Awesome man!!! Now I want one even more!!!
Thanks man! They are great! You could always consider getting something like a Jim Root head or the OR15. Similar sounds but smaller and cheaper!
I just love listening to every demo this man provides
:)
🙌
I love the tracks on this .. awesome .. especially the end
Great demo and mad respect for using the Stephen Carpenter signature guitar. 👏
Love the orange with the tele sound! Orange and vox comp. Would be nice🎸
I used to own a Rockerverb 100 MKIII but I ended up selling it and going with a Helix. If I wasn't lazy and my dainty little arms could handle carrying it and my PPC212 cab to and from gigs then I would still have it. However I have the strength of 2 and a half e-girls at the most. The Rockerverb is still the best sounding and feeling amp I have ever played. Honestly I would probably get one again but a 50 watt instead just because I never played it over halfway on the volume and thats with the attenuator on half as well...and this video isn't helping wallet. :3
The 50w head is so loud to be honest.... I imagine it's more than enough for most players
@@SonicDriveStudio I'm more than happy with him!
Have you found an amp modeller that is just as good?
@@SonicDriveStudio yeah that’s true, but the 100 mkIII was only like $100 more, so I figured why not?
It’s also got a switch to turn off half the tubes and run it in 50W mode.
One word: Squats. Once you have quads of steel you can lift anything
Dude these synths are tasteful and inspiring.
Cool! Love your songwriting as well, from 7:35 was next level. Please release this. It would be cool also if you could try out the marshall origin 20w and 50w ones how you think they stack up against the Studio series and other brands of similar tone character. Cheers
The Rockerverb is just amazing! I owned the 100w version, bu it was waaaay too heavy to carry it around :D
Btw ... I'm still waiting for your solo album! ;P
This amp sounds great! Of course, I attribute much of this to your knowledge of dialing in the tones.
And yes, Orange has a distinct tone (and look) that just can’t be replicated!
On a separate note, I’d like some videos on different load boxes or the IRs you use.
Yeah, I love my Rockerverb 50. It’s everything I’ve wanted a JCM800 to be. The midrange is so perfect, most of the time when recording I don’t do anything to the signal except some light compression.
Killer demo!!
Great review! I'd love to see this bounce against a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier. They seem to be comparable in price..
Killer tracks and tones 👏
“That full 50 watts might be too much for home”... you think!?!? ;-) love your channel
It sounds absolutely lovely. I've been playing a Rocker 15 Terror since quite a time now, but I've decided to go for an upgrade since I needed more headroom for live, especially on the clean channel, and went straight to the admiral flagship : I ordered a Rockeverb 100 ! It should be here in a few days, I'm really excited !
Great! Enjoy!
I'm in the process of making the same jump, I'm really excited. How's it working for you so far?
@@GeneralAdmission_1 It is absolutely stunning. The clean sound is CLEAN, not dirty like on the Rocker 15 Terror, and the drive is fat as can be. Totally hooked by this amp. It's magic. (But the Rocker 15 Terror is killer too, just softer on the gain side, and the clean channel is more cleanish than clean, the Rockerverb has a hell lot more of headroom !)
Great tones as always. Above all: great music, especially for a demo. Great demos. Unrelated question: Can you tell us about your Eclipse guitar? Pickups, neck profile, weight, model?
It can go a lot dirtier than this ! But yeah amazing amp, what blew me away the first time was how good and organic It sounds, the clean channel is one of the best I’ve ever heard.
Crunchy ,smooth , warm with good note separation. Might need some tightening on the low end response , but I can imagine this amp will be very inspiring to play.
Thats an amazing sound. Im gonna buy the or 15 at some point.
Can't wait for your demo/review of the Orange Super Crush 100 Head!
Would love to but I have no plans for buying one. Messaging Orange about it might help...
@@SonicDriveStudio Getting one from them for review would be awesome. If you don't mind me asking, knowing that you're a big Orange fan, any reason why you don't have plans on buying the Super Crush 100? Is it because it's purely Solid State? Just asking cuz I'm actually planning to get one myself. LOL
You rock man!
Rockerverbs are great.I've owned a couple but really love my OR100 which my favorite of all time. Just sounds massive
Best amp review maker!
Sounds killer!
I love the sound of this amp, and after 14 years of Vox AC 30 usage. I will switch to this amp.. Your demos are really help me to choose. Thanks !!
I'm switching to this beast after 15 years with my (now slightly modded) AC30cc2. It's not going anywhere, thought. Boosted Vox is really awesome. Unfortunately, for my current use case I had to compromise between good enough lead tones and acceptable "cleans".
I never liked orange amps until I heard this one, it sounds great
yes, please do a Rockerverb vs Thunderverb comparison, really want to hear the differences. It should be the same riff, same guitar, same tuning etc... but you know the drill. :-)
I would love to see a comparison with the TH30 !
Nice demo. I would like to see a comparison to the Bogner Shiva (EL34 version).
Great intro tune.
Now we need a sound comparison with the Helix and Axe FX Rockverb amp models all using the same IRs. Would be hella sweet!
I love that sound.
Orange Rockerverb is my main amp and VOX AC30 is my secondary love them to pieces.
Yes for the comparison.
great for doom/stoner, evanescence is also using it, huge improvement over mk I+II
Hi John. I can see that you're barely using the attenuator on the amp. Could you tell what's the DI level on your torpedo captor? Again, awesome video and I actually bought my Rockerverb because of this video and I'm quite happy. Thanks a lot!
Hi John, I like your reviewing style. So I'm back again... Still looking for an amp for my Cobain Jaguar Signature. Any advise though ? Thanks.
On my bucket list, I wish they still offered the combo in a 1x12.
Awesome man! But I have a question, hope can you answer, what is the difference in sound with the 100w version?
I have a Thunderverb 50. It rules!!
Smooth harmonic distortion
Very interesting video. Thank you but no thank you. I think i will have to purchase a nice Telecaster now to go along with this amp hehe
Awesome demo as always! Do you think since the 100 is only a little bit more $ and can do half power mode that it makes more sense? Or do you think the 50 has a better tone to it overall?
Cream of the Crop!
great tele tone !! which model are you using ?
I just recorded an album and used a RKRVRB 50 Combo through a Vintage MRSHL 4x12 w/Vintage Greenback's for alot of it. It was glorious. Do you know what year the first Rockerverb's came out? I know it was an older one!
What kind of cab and mic are you using here in the video?
Nice sound!
Have you tried the Rockerverb in a live mix to see if it cuts through? And if so does it? If heard some people say that because it's more lower id focused, they kind of get lots in the mix... But yours cuts right through the recorded mix really well. What I love about your videos is regardless whatever criticisms some people have about particular amps, you alway manage to make them shine in your videos, so in my mind it makes me think that when people have a tough time with an amp, maybe it has more to do with people not knowing how to dial them in, or not using them in the right context... IDK.
My god that tone with the tele was so damn tastyyyy 🤘🤘🤘😈😈😈
I must have one
What pickups are in your eclipse it sounds amazing in every video I have seen.
Hmm? I just noticed your guitar is an ESP....in another video I had mentioned I have same guitar, palm face for me, I have the LTD version 401 VF....you probably don't care but my apologies for the bad comparison....I mean same family? Sure ...same build quality, uh no....sorry muh man, great video ...Keep up the awesome content
One day I will own this amp.... One day
It's indeed the best 🍊🧡
Would love to hear a deeper exploration using the telecaster!
The telecaster tone on that one (at least the 50W) Is so good for blues, great for rock, doom and D/C tunings
I have a question about your experience with this Rockerverb MKiii. Great demo, as always btw. I've owned several Orange amps, and I've found that a couple of them seriously lacked low end in the dirty channel unless the gain is up pretty high. For example, my OR15 sounded pretty thin until I set the gain somewhere between crunch and high-gain. I also own a Dual Terror, which does not seem to have this problem. Nice and full all the way through. My third Orange amp is the newer Super Crush 100. It's said to be modeled very closely after the Rockerverb. The dirty channel on the Super Crush is very difficult for me to use. It sounds like there's a bass cut until you hit high-gain territory (between 2:30 and 3 O'clock on the gain dial). Sounds thin below this gain range. I was wondering if the Rockerverb also responds this way or if this is just a quirk of the solid state Super Crush. What is your experience? Do you feel like the Rockerverb has strong low-end response in the crunch tones (between 11 and 1 O'clock on the gain dial)? There are none available to try in my area, and I'm afraid if I order one, I might find that the gain channel doesn't have a nice full sound unless I'm in high-gain territory. What's your opinion? Thank you!
Rockerverb 50 mk3, the tone is unreal
As someone who is thinking about upgrading my OR15 to an RV50, please compare the two!
I know the orange crush pro 120 isn't a tube amp but would love to hear your thoughts in comparison to the rockerverb.
tele tone is amazing!
please tell me i can listen to the finished version of the big lead tones demo
Have you tried the 100w version? If so, how did it compare tonally? I mainly use a load box for recording so "loudness" isn't an issue -- but I was curious if you knew the tonal differences.
Just wondering what was the sound setup and did u do any post?
Yes it is!!
