I dont think any modern orange amp sounds anything like the original OR circuit unless it was a 90s direct copy reissue of the OR units. The old ORs would in somewhat of a similar vein to an EA.

The 90's reissues don't sound all that similar either.

But there's a handful of different "original OR circuits." You're talking Pix only, right?

Pix Only to the Post 72 circuit. All of those are fairly close in terms of circuit

Yeah, I've heard the difference exaggerated/understated by so many pairs of golden ears that I just kind of assume they're either exactly the same or totally alien to each other depending on how many beers I've had.

Never underestimate the power of beermuffs.

Must see about getting some gutshots of the new GT1 for yas to peruse.

Not drop tuning but drop D. I'm playing through an Electric amp on the lead channel I believe it's on the pan left.

Also, I never once had any maintenance issues with any of the 3 Electrics I've owned. I changed out the JJ tubes in my MV120 because I wanted to try something new so I put a set of 6CA7's in it. If you don't bias the tubes way hot then they don't fail quicker, right?

Depends your definition of a hot bias. I was running EL34's in my Sound City @ 90% haha They were done in around two years, so that's not that bad. Granted they were nice old Mullards. They weren't biased that hot on my watch or on purpose. My amp's bias circuit was fucked. I since swapped out to old Sylvania 6CA7 and have them set around 75% bias. Sounds just as good, if not better. Wish I knew it had a bias issue before so those Mullards wouldn't had fried

tube failure can occur for a number of reasons, some related to bias, some not related to bias.

I like my tubes to be super fucking biased.

That's why I have them watch Fox.
