ohhhhh shit. running the Ciat-Lonbarde Sidrax organs stereo outs into the two inputs of a Dynachord Echocord Mini tape delay....both inputs have independent volume control allowing for nice mixing...through an Antique Sound Lab MG Headphone Amp in OTL mode with Sennheiser HD650 was spent awhile rolling tubes and settled with Bugle Boys all around

[Uncle Grandfather]

well, this day got off to a good start. Maestro Fuzzstainer, Parametric Filter, Morley Phaser, Flanger, Oil Can delay.

Sweet Christmas. That setup looks like a lot of fun.

I like to play sitting down, so was sliding about on a stool with casters to cover that spread between the pedals

This was pretty fun too, Rickenbacker 325v59 into Acidfuzz Selmer Buzztone into Pepe Rush built Pepbox into Orange OR15

Man, I thought I was gonna die when I saw the Matamp with the Emperor cab. Now, you pull out the OR15... I've been lusting hard for one of those. How do you feel it compares to the Class 5? Think it could replace it? Or, are they too different?

[Uncle Grandfather]

wish my laptop didn't finally died I think I picked up those Jerms back when work got busy so never had a chance to make any demos, now I'm only able to shoot quickies direct into the PC which is OK for these synths but not so much direct guitar/fuzz. maybe I'll get motivated and lug an amp upstairs

speaking of lugging, getting ready to fire this up soon as I find an extension cable.

Too different, both really great but the Marshall has "that" sound when you don't wanna deal with the usual SPL involved of bigger Marshall's, and the Orange has it's own creamy thing going on. Depending on your taste the Orange is probably the more versatile of the two, especially if you're into rolling NOS tubes. That might not be everyone's cup of tea but I have fun fine tuning my amps this way and the OR15 responds really well.

edit: the class 5 and or15 have their own "house" sound and are different enough but are still both el84 based and share that families characteristics along with having little headroom. you might check out the ampeg gvt15h too, as a compliment to your class 5 or as a replacement depending on your needs. its 15/7 watts powered from 6v6. There's nothing really special or wrong with how it sounds when driven into distortion, but it doesn't sound like my old Gemini I. But for me, its real strength is in the headroom. I wanted something low watt for around the house as a pedal platform and it delivers that in spades. Can stay clean louder than you would want considering its wattage. So if you mainly get your dirt from pedals it might be worth a look. Its built in reverb sounds really good too

one other thought I had was that the OR15 is kinda noisy, I tried everything I could think and all the tips I could find online, but its just a noisy circuit...not a big deal but I remember I spent awhile trying to deal with it when I first got mine to no avail. it sounds so good that its really a non-issue

i do believe this casio was my very first instrument of my own...kinda hazy but pretty sure it was a christmas gift in the late 80s. still lovin it all these years later, awesome warm sounds and those drum pads are the best. running headphone out through OTO Machines Biscuit into BIM into mixer, with Main left/right outs to mixer too. good times
