    Free Playing Mr. Big On Beat Club Using Orange Matamps

    I found this on the Orange forum regarding the differences between the ORS, GRO and OR models. Differences Between ORS, GRO & OR Models - Orange Amps Forum

    Free Playing Mr. Big On Beat Club Using Orange Matamps

    I'd forgot about the GRO. IIRC they looked identical to the pics only OR amps but there was some kind of difference between the two. Do you know what it was?

    Fender Master Volume Twin Reverb

    Yes, the SROs are nice sounding speakers. My Twin is loaded with orange back JBLs but I have a 2x12 extension cab with the coffee can SROs as well. Each speaker gives its own distinctive sound to the Twin.

    Free Playing Mr. Big On Beat Club Using Orange Matamps

    Appreciate that info. For some reason I thought there was an ORS model that after Cliff Cooper stopped selling the Orange Matamp line. It was quite a while ago that I thought there was an Orange amp on eBay advertised as an ORS100. It had the look of the pics only OR120s that Cliff Cooper sold...

    Fender Master Volume Twin Reverb

    I did have my 68 NMV SF set to BF specs. The difference was subtle i.e. not that noticeable. It's been a real workhorse over the years, probably my most used amp back when I was young and strong.

    Fender Black Face Vibro Champ Amp

    Yeah, I bought mine new in 1973 at Ace Music in Miami. Don't remember what I paid for it but it was probably 50-60.

    Free Playing Mr. Big On Beat Club Using Orange Matamps

    Was the ORS the link between the Orange Matamps and the OR line. I remember an ORS on eBay back when I was still collecting amps. That was the one that got away from me as I have Orange Matamps and OR amps. If I were younger and not past my amp collecting days I might want to talk to you about...

    Free Playing Mr. Big On Beat Club Using Orange Matamps

    Sweet collection neikeel! Are you in the US or the UK? The reason I ask is I don't see Orange Matamps in the US frequently. They're fine sounding amps. Does your cab have the G12H30 speakers?

    Free Playing Mr. Big On Beat Club Using Orange Matamps

    Happened to catch this video yesterday. I guess the backline for all bands playing Beat Club was Orange Matamps but I think Kossoff may have used them on other occasions as well. The sound was pretty good. Any other Orange Matamp fans here?

    Fender Master Volume Twin Reverb

    I'll have to find out about the speakers. The 12 inch EVMs would definitely interest me since my Twin has orange back JBLs and I've got an extension 2x12 with SROs. FWIW I also have two Showman cabs. One has 15 inch JBLs, the other 15 inch EVs. A TR with EVMs would round out the collection.

    Fender Master Volume Twin Reverb

    Does this mean the MV models built before this essentially sound identical to NMV SF TRs when the MV is dimed?

    Fender Master Volume Twin Reverb

    Yes, I thought it seemed a little high but I've been out of the vintage amp market for quite some time now. Did the sound on the Twin Reverbs change significantly after they added a master volume? If this one sounds anything like my 68 I may take a look at it.

    Marshall Brite Caps!!

    Don't they make the 100 watt plexi RIs hiss like a snake in the high treble channel?

    Hiwatt 50 Watt Head

    What about the two input Hiwatts? My DR 100 is from around 1979. It is very loud. I've only used it a couple of times on gigs because it's too loud for most places but I still really like to practice with it. The clean sound at low volumes really exposes any chops deficiencies.

    Fender Black Face Vibro Champ Amp

    SF Vibro Champ here. It still has the original tubes from when I bought it in 1973 and it still sounds great.

    Fender Master Volume Twin Reverb

    Thanks guys. FWIW I do own a 1968 SF Twin Reverb which is non MV. It's been a workhorse over the years for all kinds of gigs. Speakers are JBL and I converted it to BF specs many years ago, although honestly the difference in sound was not huge. It's always been one of my favorite amps.

    Fender Master Volume Twin Reverb

    Saw a 1973 the other day. Asking price was $1000. What's the verdict on MV Twin Reverbs and is this a reasonable price? Thanks guys.

    Gypsy Minor

    I like this idea of studying a different scale every month since I tend to be a little random when it comes to practicing. Once you've done this for a month how often do you come back to the scale to keep it and the chords associated with it under your fingers? When I was playing standards for...

    Where To Buy Fuse Holders

    Unfortunately tubes and more doesn't have this type of fuse holder so I'm still looking. Any other thoughts? Matamp may not be that widely used in the US but they're not totally unknown either so it seems there should be a source somewhere in the US.
