1. TH30 because it has the most definition to me. 2. Dark Terror, because even though it is a little less defined to me, it still suits every genre. 3. Rockerverb 50, because it has the classic sound Orange sound, and is still versatile. Honorable mention: Micro Dark, because I have one and it sounds pretty clear. But it doesn’t have the fullness “umf” that it’s bigger all tube brothers have.

Thanks for another awesome demo! Not sure if you've ever had the chance to play one, but if you ever cross paths with the Thunderverb 50, do not pass it up! When it comes to amps that have real, honest-to-god MAGIC in them, the TV50 is one them and unlike anything else I've ever heard in the Organge lineup or any other. The low end has so much mass and it saturates in a way that is absolutely sublime. Sure, you could use a graphic EQ and bump up the bass on any other amp but the TV50 just has the very distinct flex. The only thing I can liken it to is the sort of magic that a Dual Rectifier has. Totally different vibe, but it's just one of those things that you have to experience. I had a TV50 with one of the Orange oversized 4x12's and personally, it made the biggest rock and metal sounds that I have ever heard.
@jwelliott749 ай бұрын
Love this video. As a recent convert to Orange amps, this is an awesome comparison. I was most interested in the two high gain models in current production - the Rockerverb and the Dark Terror, and at present I’m leaning toward the DT, mostly for price point, but I also have no need of a 50 watt amp. Maybe it’s just me, but I’d love to see a Rockerverb in the spirit of the DSL20HR - small amp with big bottle tubes - and I know the RV has an attenuator, but really, that’s just wasting a lot of wattage. Oh well. A guy can dream, right? My interests aside you seriously have some of the best, most thorough, and professional-sounding amp demos out there. My sincere compliments!
