Good point re: “gain without using pedals”. I prefer the Rock and “clean” tones on my Orange amp without pedals. I guess I'm old school and boring, but these modern Orange amps (I use a Dark Terror) have so many colors in their gain structure, I just cannot see papering them over with dirt from a pedal, which in many cases is producing and adding to an already great sound.How is the gain on OR80/120? I've always stuck with modern Orange amps because I like to have a lot of gain without using pedals.
Off Topic: Does anyone think we'll see a new 100w tube amp for Oranges 50th this year?
It’s very “classic rock “ sounding mainly. (also does doom and stoner rock tones, esp w pedals) The OR 120 was super clean until volume was dimed , then it had a good rock tone but was beyond loud . I’m in really, really loud bands but it was too loud unless you use a pedal. The OR 80 gets dirty at lower volumes . I always choose dirt and fuzz pedals that don’t take away from the amps natural tones but adds fuzz/gain or distortion.How is the gain on OR80/120?
