umcoo Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) Hi folks, I'm hardly gigging these days, and it seems a waste to have such a powerful and great amp, that shines at full pelt, just sat in my room. I got this in Feb 2010 second hand from a lovely lady in Manchester and she had had it new since 2005. I'm sure most people know the score with these amps...great tone, looks and punch. Only ever had one issue with it, when a resistor blew last year. Fixed by Orange and no problems whatsoever since. The previous owner had never had any issues with it either. Before everyone asks, I'm not sure when the last re-valve was. Weight is nicely manageable for a valve amp. There's a few nicks on the tolex, but nothing major and the faceplate is fine. Looking for [s]£750[/s] [b]£700[/b] and it can be picked up from Lancaster. I'm happy to drive an hour or so to drop it off for people, but a bit of petrol money would be nice. NOW SOLD. I'd rather not ship either in the UK or abroad due to weight and possible breakage. Cheers for looking. Here's a few general pics, but if anyone wants anything in particular then just let me know.

umcoo Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Hah, yeah...you couldn't really be any further away. I'm sometimes down at the in-laws in Stoke if that's any help to anyone, but won't have a cab to play through there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynepunkdude Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Keep on getting tempted by this but the reason I have problems with my Ampeg is weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umcoo Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 How heavy is your Ampeg, Wayne? I can carry the Orange with one hand if I need to, but with two hands it's pretty easy.....and I'm weak & skinny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umcoo Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 According to Orange, it's 55lbs for the AD200. Maybe I'm stronger than I thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegas_hooker Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Didnt see this one coming. You got another amp in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umcoo Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hey Nath, how are tricks? As I say, gigs have dried up and running this thing at '1' on the master makes it a pretty expensive practice amp. I'm keeping the Matamp cab and I'll probably just pick up something more suited for what I need. Saying that, not had much interest at all, so she might be staying at Chez Chris. How's the Sunn treating you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigster Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 leave it up awhile - things is just sloooow class amp, it's bound to shift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
