"Orange amps are great, and i'd say they're one of the best amps to buy for rock and punk.
they have amazing crunch and the cleans sound pretty good too.
i would say that they're worth all that money, but if you can get one used, it may be your best bet.
the new thunderverb is pretty revolutionary tho.
it can be a guitar or bass amp, and work best for dropped tunings because it falls right in the middle of the frequency range of the amp because it can do really low (bass) and really high (guitar)"

"They do sound pretty good. I think the stoner metal or stoner rock scene is killing the reputation of these amps. The can sound much better than the 'drop tuned to x' crap. They've got a good crunchy mid and are louder than hell. I'll always be a Marshall man but I've always admired Orange as a close second. Be sure to try them out if you have the opportunity. Some of them only have one input that is pure nastiness and no clean tones if it's turned up. That's what I like in an amp, dirty all the time!"

"The Rockerverb 100 is an awsome sounding amp, if someone swapped me one for my DSL if bite their arm off!
Do a youtube search for them, they sound great. I think in previous years they were a bit antiquated but they are bang on the tone these days. It's just a shame they cost so much. If I was buying in the Diezel/Bognor/VHT, etc.. price zone I would definately be looking at the Rockerverb with them."


"Just tried the thunderverb 50 out today! man it was so sweet sounding so punchy in the mids, with nice bass and treble response, it sounded like a jcm 800 on steroids but a little more fuzzy....even though im a marshall man id definitely look at buying one of these in the future to replace my TSL 100-on the reason its unreliable shame, its a nice amp"


"Orange amps are great, i love mine, built like a tank - can't speak for the newer ones as much because i don't own one. the newer models don't sound as much like the older models as i had hoped. "


"I will always be a marshall guy but i respect other amp companies who play the game
smart like Orange , they have been around for many years and have earned there reputation as being one of the best . My pal runs a Rockerverb 50 head & cab it sounds
great IMO !!"

"We once had a poll here on the forum about Crate vs. Orange. I believe the final tally was Orange 14, Crate 1. Good amps."


"The original Orange amps were great! now these new ones have no idea. Funny story I saw Black Sabbath on Rockplast in the early days All Orange amp backline!"


"I really like Orange amps. As someone else stated, they're a bit of a cross between a Marshall and a Vox. Huge tone."


Yeah iv had the cance to play a few since i started the thread..

I have to admit there great.. Love the thunderverb 50 and rocker 30. Sounded great.

"i agree with JCMJMP. they do sound like a cross between a Marshall and VOX. They have a midrange punch like a vox and the bite of a marshall. Only thing i didnt like was the reverb!"

'I have an orange rocker30 head and 2x12 cab. it rocks..."
