lemmywinks Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 +1 Unbelievably loud for the size. I doubt you'd ever need the extension cab unless you were playing huge stages and venues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 if this was a head i'd probably buy it. tried one the other day and it was pretty sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesso Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 How much for the extension cab? My guitarist has the rocker 30 already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kongo Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) My guitarist bought and Orange RockerVerb 50watt...Ok since he had it I had to change my rig cause, even less than half power it's BLOODY LOUD! Orange are the new face of metal mark my words here and now! Such a full bodied sound and louder than any 100 watt flabby sounding marshall.

Orange Watts are a totally different ball game. I had my amp through one cab the other say, cranked the gain, had the volume literally on just a tiny bit above minimum...it is doom. I like Orange so much I might buy a RV 100 in the future. They piss all over most Marshall guitar gear....esp modern Marshall. The sound is not that overly precise scooped metal sound...its more warm, amazing and pure tube drive...good old fashioned rock n roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_eat_pie Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Where abouts are you from... and could you give us a rough price: being a bassist I'm just the middle man between me and the guitarist! Cheers, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta say though, lets not put metal and scooped mids in the same sentence. I have to explain to sound folks all the time that we do NOT want the mids on the guitars scooped! Metal guitarists don't do that as much now...I mean, it kills volume and harmonic resonance! So he loves his Orange Rockerverb because of this. No triple rectifiers...No naturally scooped mids...Just pure LOUD valve distortion and MAN, is it so! The channel is called "Dirty" but I think it's more than that...in fact, he's changed it to "Death" with a sticker...To be fair, it's a fitting name! Oh yeah, and just to point out, it'd be "Scooped Nids" because, so the Orange site says, the amp has a "Niddle" control! That's unfortunate.

chris_pokkuri Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 I've spoken to my bro about this again and have some more details for you. The cab is the 16ohm celestion vintage 30 version - the better version. Adding the extension cab gives it a tighter bass response. The amp has brand new power tubes - jj kt77's (they are about 2 weeks old). The new tubes also give tighter bass with smoother mids and highs. He would also include the original tubes to be swapped back in if prefered (no biasing required). To buy the combo and extension cab new you'd be looking at £800 - £900. As both are in virtually perfect condition he'd be looking for between £600 - £700. Oh, and we are based in Bridgend, South Wales. Easy to get to on the M4.

I'd wouldn't go that far. I still reckon the Peavey 5150 is probably the greatest metal guitar amp out there. I've tried both Orange and own a 5150 and much prefer the 5150. I agree with you on the point about being better than Marshall - I just don't like any of their old or new stuff at all and I've own JCMs, DSLs, played through JCM800s and TSL heads. All of them just leave me cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with the Peavey is clean is distorted...and distortion only a bit more...no bell like clean tone like an Orange will. Jim Root of Slipknot now uses Orange over Marshall...and I just heard confirmed, Wes Borland just switched from Mesa Boogie to Orange with a witty one liner: "Once you go Orange, you never go Black!" So, Orange is coming! And rightly so! Bring on the British sound! I didn't mind the Peavey...well it didn't sound good clean...but the Orange Rockerverb 50 watt...Well... It's the reason I got a new backline as it is VERY powerful! Edited June 30, 2009 by Kongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
