New solid state orange head?

[Helter]

Have you dudes seen these or played one?

Price is $449



I would really like to try one in guitar center or something. No idea how long they've been out but I've heard nothing. I really like my crush blahblah30-something actually and would consider picking one of these up when they start turning up used for like $250-$300.

I'd check it out, seems cool. Wonder what the dirt is like.

I'm going to pretend it's a clean channel only amp

Nah haha, yeah me too. It's not my favorite on my combo.

That's paying a ton for the cosmetics to be honest.

My Mustang V head was $275 new in box, and is ridiculously loud and sounds good on a ton of settings. Even if I was just to leave it on basic faux Twin or Bassman for eternity, well worth it.

Can't really justify blowing an extra hundred and a half bucks on something because it's orange colored and has less features.

I'm intrigued. There are so few good solid state heads out there that are in production.
Plenty of modelling, plenty of hybrids. Not much straight up solid state goodness.

I mean I realize you are paying for the orange name a little but I can't help but be interested. I watched an interview and the orange employee said it's all the same circuitry of the rockerverb (head) and thunder verb (the combos) but with op amps instead of tubes. Now I don't know much about any of that, and I could just be believing their deceiving advertising but I still really want to try one out.

I liked the solid state orange I tried. The bro my band recorded with had one and we used it for a few things. pretty neat! I don't if it even had dirtyness in it cause he just kept it clean. The reverb was great.

That's true of most of Orange's current line, IMO.

[Holy Schnikes]

Truth.

Orange's current production tube powered stuff is very underwhelming when you go comparing quality to cost. I have zero interest in their Chinese built solid state amps although they're probably a better value if they don't sound like complete ass.
