what are you guy's opinions? I see the normal channel doesn't have tone controls so i am kind of wondering how that sounds. Do you think there would be an eq problems. I'm not interested in high-gain tones....more of a just breaking up/slightly dirty base tone. The natural channel sounds like it would be great.....but im just seeing what you guys think.
thanks

Corey, I have a Rocker 30 head and 4x12 and I have never EVER been this happy with an amp. Ever. Bogner,Peavey,Soldano,Marshall,etc....Now I do still love my Vetta II head, but even that sounds better through the Orange cab. Justr an all around great product. Now IF you want high gain, its there, but so is low and medium.
Just an all around incredible amp.

The 'natural' channel sounds great. Orange did a good job with the voicing on that channel given no EQ. It'll go pretty loud for a 30w 2 x EL34 amp. The normal channel has some nice breakup to it as well. Does NOT stay clean and chimey.
The gain channel is where the amp really shines, IMO. I had one for about 2 weeks and while I liked the amp and it was really fun to play, it didn't fit the requirements of my current gig at all. It went to a happy new owner.

I love mine.. the thing just bleeds tone. With a nice OD in front it sounds amazing.. I'm willing to bet when I get myself a treble booster it will sound even better.
It tends to be dark, like most british amps, but I really cannot talk more highly of this amplifier, it's just perfect.
