Was kicking around the local Music Go Rounds (we have two decent ones around here) as my 100W EVH is in for warranty.
Wasn’t finding much but came across a couple items that both intrigued me and were decent deals…
Head (TH30) from one Music-Go-Round, cab (SC212) from the other one. Lol.
I will say that I’ve never really considered anything from Orange but this one was listed and upon seeing many favorable reviews and YouTube vids I decided to go check it out. Very VERY different sounding amp than most anything I’ve had. Closest would be a two channel recto and only for the big low end. But liked it enough to bring it home.
The EQ on these is weird AF but also intriguing at the same time. Definitely a learning curve but that’s been half the fun playing this thing for the last hour or two. SD-1 seems to pair well.
I plugged it into my Mesa 4x12 OS for a bit but way too boomy. Definitely sounds tighter and brighter through this 2x12 Marshall (UK one). It has Celestion V-types. There’s a bit of top end high frequency fizz/sizzle. If it bugs me will look at maybe some G12-M65 Creambacks which I think are the speaker of choice in many Orange cabs???
