I used this amp w/ cab at a session yesterday (Mackinaw Harvest @ Grand Rapids). Wowzers, used a 70's Thinline straight in and WHOMP. Would love to have the extra cash to snag one!!
Single channel or Dual Channel? I must admit I have always had wood for the AD30. None of the Rocker series or Terror series really speaks to me.
The ad30 has always been magical with single coils, especially teles. In fact, if I played my tele more I might have kept mine... in the end a wanted 18 watts or so, not 30. Killer tones.
How's it with a Les Paul w/ PAFs?
If you're going for a thick dark overdrive sound... hard to beat. I've had an AD30TC 2x12 combo for a year or so but in the end I couldn't cope with the dark sound in combination with the PAF humbuckers in my Les Paul... but I have to say I was eventually looking for a nice bright clean sound and you won't get that with any Orange... anyway for those '70s rock sound it is fantastic but don't think about the cleans... with humbuckers I find them somewhat dull, flat and dark. With singlecoils it's great, it fattens them up in a very pleasant way. My Telecaster through the Orange was awesome...![]()
