Mr. Foxen Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) Selling this for a mate, cause I can't afford to buy it myself. An early pics only OR120, the plexi front (painted on the back) indicates it dates from 1972-1974, according to the Orange dating website. This has been a gigging amp, so has been maintained accordingly, some caps have been replaced, although the main caps are still original as they haven't had issues (although should really be replaced due to age). Is loaded with a mix of valves, works fine but probably best getting a new set in and a full service and setup to your liking. After £850 for it. My monitor is dying, so all pics look really dark to me, so I've not edited them because they'd end up washed out.

umcoo Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 I believe the appropriate term is 'Do Want!!!11'.
Mr. Foxen Posted November 21, 2010 Author Posted November 21, 2010 Offers considered, and new gut shots:
Mr. Foxen Posted November 27, 2010 Author Posted November 27, 2010 don't think 'pristine' is really the word, it is well used, the blue caps are replacements, but it has been done competantly with appropriate stuff (saw another the radial caps stuck in on leads). Anyway, if someone can sort it fairly quickly, £850 will secure this, reserve the right to return to asking price at some future point whereupon this will be updated (as in if you get your confirmation in before I change it, the £850 stands).
JMT3781 Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 i just sold one of these to a bloke in italy... lovely amp!
Mr. Foxen Posted February 24, 2011 Author Posted February 24, 2011 This is still going, some dude pmed me and I was trying to chase him up, but I can't find it now.
timmchale2009 Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Used to have one of these bad boys many many many moons ago! Absolutely cracking piece of british amplification. Have a bump!
paulflan0151 Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 baahh tampted, always wanted a valve amp!
Mr. Foxen Posted March 14, 2011 Author Posted March 14, 2011 Bump. Some dude had me chasing around sorting a time for him to come try it with his choice of cabs (like specified the speaker loading he wanted to try it through) , and then changed his mind. Grr.
paulflan0151 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 can I plug a guitar and bass into this amp? Just missed out on the mesa D 180, this may be out of my price range at the moment though.
Mr. Foxen Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 It works fine as a guitar or bass amp. It pretty much predates there being a difference. If you can come and pick it up, have a go with it, pay cash style, there is probably some room for negotiation.
paulflan0151 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 where abouts are you located? can you tell me a little about this amp, ohms, wattage, how many valves (pre/ouput) and what the knobs on the front do (can see bass n treb but dont know what the others do) thanks
Mr. Foxen Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) 4, 8, 16 ohm selector. Not benched it but it is nominal 120w. 4 EL34 power valves, 2 12AX7 preamp valves, Bandaxall (2 band) eq, so bit more control than the 3 band Fender circuit. First knob is a 6 position switch, FAC, sort of midrange selector, I'm not sure of its actual workings, I'd guess it selects the mid frequency for the tone controls, but it might be some other midrange colour. The other two big knobs are hi frequency drive/presence, and the gain/volume. [url="http://users.telenet.be/orangefg/"]Background here.[/url] I'm in Bristol. the amp is stashed at a practice spaceon King Square near the center, next to Stokes Croft, site of the former House of Bass. Loads of cabs to try it through, but need to square a time with Gim, the owner of the amp, who runs the space. Edit: Whilst fully functional, it could probably do with a new set of valves if you are fussy on such things. Edited March 16, 2011 by Mr. Foxen
paulflan0151 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 thanks for the info. I am interested in this, but I'm in Liverpool and it's over 3 hrs drive to bristol. I'll have to have a little think and check the finaces. Thanks again for answering the Q's.
perogato Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Bump for a very tempting amp ... too bad I live on mainland Europe

Probably send the valves separately as they invalidate insurance due to glass.

But much appreciated
Mr. Foxen Posted March 23, 2011 Author Posted March 23, 2011 Been making inquiries, due to having some other amps on ebay, and I can do it shipped to Europe for £875.
perogato Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 That is one very tempting offer, but since my Orange AD200b isn't even a year in my possession I better pass ... GAS is bad
