Part 3/10:
Notably, the reissue stays faithful to the original Orange designs from the 1970s, even utilizing some factory parts from that era, such as faceplates, knobs, and bars, which contributes to its authentic vintage sound. Dave emphasizes how this amp produces a creamy midrange tone — perfect for classic rock sounds — and can get surprisingly loud and dynamic when pushed to higher gain levels.
He notes that some of these amps were originally sold through Gibson and manufactured by Trace Elliot, making them relatively rare and collectible. The amp’s straightforwardness makes it ideal for musicians seeking a classic tone without modern channel switching or boost features, relying instead on volume and gain for shaping their sound.
