That sounds a lot like my Tech 21 Dug in places.

Anyone got one of these, or given one a go yet? I'm toying with replacing my Bass Terror with an OB-1, having tried the latter and been very impressed, but I wonder if grabbing one of these might achieve much the same thing while saving me lugging a heavier amp about.

Sounds like it would do that, with the added bonus of the compressor and individual EQs for clean and dirty!

I'm not bowled over by Orange's solid state drive sounds from these demos though.

I'm interested in hearing a demo with some lower gain, edge of breakup tones. If it can do that of course!

It's an OB-1 in a box, sounds exactly the same to my ears, and I own both ... think its really just a fly rig version of that with more control over the distorted highs, despite all of the marketing spiel of how its a new product ... still sounds really good .. prefer it to the dug .. a much more solid sound ..PM me if you like and i can sell you mine, for a bit of a discount off the new price   .. I haven't used it outside my home .. as I don't need both

Some very nice tones in here... the lower drive ones in particular.

Honestly, the only thing stopping me from buying one right away is the price.

While interesting it's in the "not an f'ing chance" price bracket for me for a single pedal I'm afraid.

[dannybuoy]

That's a much better demo! Sounds great there. Orange should hire these guys next time, both their original demos in this thread put me off ever wanting to try one!

Oops, I impulse-ordered one last night after some pints without checking in with this thread! If I like it though, I might send it back anyway and drop you a line!

VERY tasty... bit out of tune though.

Tried mine out at rehearsal last week and was really impressed. Cleans are punchier and tighter than before, and blending in the dirty stuff doesn't seem to detract from that at all. Yep, it wasn't cheap, but I'm really pleased with it. One thing I was slightly taken aback by is just how big it is. I'm gonna need a bigger pedalboard now, but I've been after an excuse for a while anyway…

Hi I just got my Bass Butler today and I love it however I think I’ve got a faulty one. The footswitch does nothing, according to the manual it should mute the dirty channel but for me both channels are always on regardless of the LED colour?:(

I had a go on one on the Orange stand at the Brum Guitar Show - it was really very good.

[DaleASmith]

Is anyone aware that the Orange Bass Butler has an effects insert on the distortion channel?
