we tigers Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) It has arrived and it is a thing of beauty! I have to wait another week till next band practice to actually hook it up to my cab though... i have ordered a custom rack sleeve for it. That’ll take about six weeks, but I think the total result will be awesome. Edited January 4, 2018 by we tigers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burno70 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Brill, I bet you can't wait to play it. Let us know what you think of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we tigers Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Yesterday was the first time I had the chance to let the 4 Stroke run loose. To cut a long story short: it’s awesome. Lots of lovely mids, controlled lows, way better in the band mix than my former Streamliner 900, and with a lot of heft to the tone. Especially paired with my SolidGoldFX Beta, the tone was to die for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we tigers Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 The 4 Stroke has some sort of three dimensionality to the sound that reminds me of a full tube amp. With the so-called compressor the amp is even able to show a little hair. Love the prominent mids and the possibilities of the eq section. It's a keeper and I ordered a custom case with the right orange tolex for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 looks like a nice head. Interesting to see the marketing blurb say "Trusting our ears and moving away from Class D technology altogether, the 4 Stroke is 100% analogue throughout."

Interesting to see the marketing blurb say "Trusting our ears and moving away from Class D technology altogether, the 4 Stroke is 100% analogue throughout." Dunno if its a class A vs D thing but FWIW.....I spent a band rehearsal switching between a GK Fusion 800 and the Orange 4 Stroke 500 - I have two identical 210 cabs, so it was a straight test side by side. With a fair bit of EQ faffing, I could get the Fusion (either with or without the tube pre engaged) to sound almost identical to the Orange. But cranked up to full-on band levels (with the same EQ settings intact, vol to match the drums) the Orange walks it. Its really ballsy and assertive. That said, I won't have any qualms about using the Fusion when there's lots of stairs involved, it sounded good too. To be fair :-) Edited January 12, 2018 by BluRay Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2elliot Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) I wouldn't dare crank my 4 Stroke... fnar fnar. It's stupidly loud through my Four10, I'm thinking of selling the cab to get something with less... well just less.

we tigers Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I have the 4 Stroke sitting on an Aguilar DB410 (8ohm). Together they are a beast. Ballsy and assertive is spot on. They move a lot of air! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we tigers Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I like the amp a lot, so I decided to have TubeTown in Germany build me a head case for it. Sure looks the part!: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
