Great job SLK, the guitarist in one of my bands is gonna pick one of these up to pair with or run back up to his 6505+. I'm excited to hear it in person as I'm thinking of picking one up for my black metal rig I'm building.

I tried out the CR60 combo version at GC today. It was really, really nice. I would pick up the head but for now my Sunn does what I need.

Yea no rush with the orange cause it's not like it's being discontinued any time soon.

I was envisioning the Orange higher-ups looking at sales figures, seeing that the solid state was selling well and people were buying it over their 5x more expensive tube amps, and discontinuing it so we are forced to continue paying out the ass for decent sounding amps.

So I am thinking of pulling the trigger on a Sunn Concert Lead, but I am just curious at how well it takes dirt pedals. I have heard it loves the muff and it should, I mean who doesn't? That being said though, some others said that other dirt pedals do not work as well with it. Thoughts?

those people that say it doesn't work for em, they never have tried it first hand cause they are goddamn liars. Pull the trigger on it and buy it.

I'm not seeing a problem here at all.
I would say you had a problem if you were posting pics of Line 6

^what he said. Nice stack of amps there.
I've got an old solid state Randall Commander head, the RG90A. Incredibly cheap, like 150€ but it sound good to my ears. Lots of clean headroom to work with, and it is loud enough... for now.

I've also just bought a yamaha bass head. It looks like this and was 80€.

I haven't received it so I can't tell you if it's good or not yet

I'm stoked to try it. My sister actually said she wants to play bass. I took the opportunity to get some cheap bass gear to eventually run my guitar in drop A tuning through. That plus a bassy fuzz mmmmm can't wait
