Very basic Orange AD200B question.

[obbm]

I gigged my Orange AD200B for the first time in a while last night and noticed that occassionally the orange power indicator light was occasionally pulsating and glowing quite brightly. I've not aseen this before and I can find no mention of this feature, if that's what it is, anywhere. Does anyone know what tis is indicating?

Dont worry, it's the awesomeness indicator.















I'm sure someone will be by with the correct answer in a bit.

As far as I'm aware it's should just be a constant on light. My only guess is that there was some kind of voltage sag causing it to be dim and coming back to full brightness when power allowed.

Or that could be complete bollocks.

The light has a dull glow when the amp is switched on and no signal but the harder you push it the brighter the light gets.

I get light wavering on some amps for no noticeable reason sometimes, never figured why.

That probably explains why my lamp is so dim, or not glowing at all

light is straight off the mains

The AD's I've tried always have have had a quite bright on light to start. As you say yours is dim to start with, maybe the fault is there. If there is a loose connection, the vibration when you are pushing could improve the connection, hence the bulb gets brighter. Either way, it don't seem right to me, and I'd get it looked at. You wouldn't want the on switch to pack up mid flow and leave you all acoustic!

My guitarist has an Orange Rocker 30 and this light thing you're talking about always indicates a faulty tube. Not sure if this is true of the ad200 but it sure could be. Perhaps one is unseated. Did you buy it new? Could've happened in transit.
