Finally got an Orange.
After my SWR finally started giving me issues after decades of use I decided it was time to get a new head. I was looking for something light enough to gig with and could pair well with both large and small cabs.
The Orange was not really on my radar until a little over a week ago I got the chance to play a Terror Bass at a local shop. I was floored with the tube tone this head could produce. I played it through a matching OBC-112 cab and was impressed to say the least.
It just so happened someone had one for sale localluly in mint condition and they were moving so it was a steal of a price and I couldn't pass it up. I got it home last night and only got about 45 min to an hour with it but it sounds phenomenal through my LDS 2x15 cab (deltalite II 2515) with no tweeter in the cab.
Gives a nice fat vintage tube tone with my p bass and crank the treble and scoop the mids and you get a more modern sound. I am sure a cab with tweeter and active pickups would sound even more modern. All my basses are passive and I currently have no cabs with tweeters to test this theory. The clean sound is very full sounding. there are no weak notes or frequencies I could hear. The overdrive is one of the few I have heard on a bass amp that I actually like. I want to say it's almost fuzz sounding? This amp also takes pedals extremely well and loved the fuzz, OD, and distortion I hit it with.
Not to mention it looks killer as well.
