The Orange looks cooler but is the RH450 the better amp?[/quote] Dunno about the RH450 but the OTB is excellent. The tone is lovely, its bloomin tiny yet powerful, I seldom get above 3 in volume. The line out runs a bit hot though so I have to reduce the DB on the the PA which compensates. Otherwise cant fault it. If you're ever in Leeds pop in and have a play. I realise its a long way mind!

[quote name='jsixties' post='1231567' date='May 15 2011, 03:03 AM']I guess no news about your cover, isn't it? I have my money back thanks to Paypal. Lesson learned and last time I deal with that guy again.[/quote] Shaun EMails a week ago, guess what - he cant find the payment. I sent him paypal proof then no replies to my daily emails. I have filed a claim with Paypal I wish his covers were rubbish as he doesnt deserve to keep in business with his appalling trading record. All 3 of the orders I have placd with him have been disasterous but the quality of the covers is great. Here we go again.....

We're always too busy or away that night!

Charity fundraiser at Harewood House near Leeds in a huge marquee. 350 guests all up for it. Ran late so we played 9 songs in 2 sets. Still was ace if a lot of fannying around. Sat up buzzing after a night quaffing lemonade now. Rock n roll man!

Guess what??????..............

Me next please if poss Thx Andy

I must be a masochist but have ordered another for my Orange SP212. I truly hope the transaction is OK as the quality of the goods is so good. I personally prefer them to the others I have seen. Shaun has been good with emails so far, quickly quoted for the cover after my enquiry, its running late now though, ordered and paid on 26 April. Chased earlier this week and got email back saying it's made, soz for delay and will be here by the end of the week. Breath held.........fingers crossed........will let you know......

We played a pub gig one time. A bit off our usual tracks. After about 40 mins the last two punters left. We soldiered on to a completely empty pub for a couple more songs and no more customers materialised. We agreed that we would stop then yet still got full pay. Never again

Bought the Samson monitor off Anthony. smashing guy. Nice item and easy pleasant transaction. Also had lunch in the pub he lives in. Top suff. Cheers dude

That didn't work properly! Thx all. Bought one. Fingers crossed now. Cheers. Andy

Cheers Gaf [url="http://www.studiospares.com/mic-accessories/pro-40db-inline-attenuator/invt/568600/?htxt=mJYDTGD9uhYzkGlHu4KGO73Yyy2xeklQ0Iu3xK6kiNQfEfkdVMs7iRTyGKsuzja56BZlISUMSFF1%0AAev27xiOqg%3D%3D"]http://www.studiospares.com/mic-accessorie...ev27xiOqg%3D%3D[/url] I bought one of these attenuators last year at the same time as I bought the Bass Terror, hoping that what I had read had been a myth or an early fault and I'd never really need to use it. But for a fiver fix, who cares, right? So I had 4-5 gigs using my rig as backline-only and its sweet, warm, crunchy balanced harmonics seduced me very quickly indeed. Then I had a big gig with PA support, and I warned the sound tech in advance just in case. "Nah it should be fine, mate." Then... "Woaaaaaaaaaaah" he said during soundcheck, "Yeah, it looks like we're going to have to use your little metal thing." So I plugged it in, and within an instant it was problem solved. Thanks all. Sorted and bought one. Fingers crossed now. Andy So yes, for some god-only-known reason, the output does indeed need to be attenuated by a whole 40db! The good news is that this cheap little tube will do the job quite nicely, at the only expense of sticking out a good whack from the side of your head during the gig. And a fiver, of course... Other than that, it's one hell of an amp, and despite the slight trade-off in size and weight, I don't regret getting rid of my Little Mark II for one second. -Dave[/quote]

[quote name='gerryc' post='1211203' date='Apr 25 2011, 08:44 PM']Studiospares 40db in line attenuator about five GBP, mine (and I believe everybody elses) is exactly the same. If I knew how to put up a link I would but I'm as thick as a whale omelette when it comes to computers.[/quote] Cheers Gerry. Anyone know anything about these?

I bought the OBT in December. It seemed fine for the first couple of gigs then suddenly was distorting like crazy when DI'd to the PA via the built in output. I took it back to the dealer who tried and found the same problem (essentially the output was way too high). The amp went back to Orange and returned much better. After Saturday night though, it looks like it may be happening again meaning I could only add a tiny bit in the PA to avoid distortion which doesn't happen if I mic the cab - only when using the DI. Anyone else experienced the same? It seems to need a variable output control of some sort. Not sure whether to return again to the dealer or is there anything I can connect through to allow me to vary the output? Waddya think? Andy

Must be a Monkey thing Thom, I recently shrunk my Ampeg mega rig to the Orange Bass Terror and SP212 cab. I will never go back. They fit in my boot with the rest of my gear (guitars on back seat though) but at least I can get passangers in now, used to be cab on front seat, rest across back and in boot. Your rig looks fab though. Enjoy

Yeah me too. kept looking at the ad then re reading this thread and wondering what I was missing.......cheeky scamps !

Hi mate, have you tried placing an ad on Rock of the North? has a good grapevine. Interestingly, my first ever gig was supporting Dr Feelgood at the Bierkellar in Leeds way back in the 80s. Good luck Andy

John bought my SM58 mic. Top guy, really easy and hassle free transaction. And a fantastic avatar to boot! Thx mate. A pleasure doing business. Andy

....and another. The city is AWASH with us........Andy
