oedipoes's Metal Amp Rig

Great Orange tone in a portable format. Sounds really big. I prefer the closed back cabs for my style (raprock/metal). But I can imagine someone preferring this over a closed back. Built like a tank, only the corners could be more robust. Chinese V30’s sound just as good as any UK V30.

EDIT: review was for MultiChannel not Multi-Watt (now on separate page)

There is no substitute for tubes. This thing has a signature tone that you either like or not. It’s become the standard for metal tones, but is so versatile that it also allows superlead-like tones with the middle channel in “vintage” and the bass eq and gain turned down. I love it.

I bought my TU-12 chromatic tuner in a musical instrument shop near Denmark Street in London back in 1994. It wasn’t cheap: £110 would be £216 today! Rather unsellable price that! But it survived until today. It has been in my rehearsal BCB-6 pedal board, standalone at home, then hanging from the lid between my Marshall head stacked on my Orange box for years, gig after gig after gig. Sure it has some battle scars, but it still looks rather mildly used rather and far from ready for the trash can. These BOSS products are built like a tank. Plastic, yes, but thick and sturdy enough not to break under abuse. I have other tuners now, yet this one is still in daily use after 28 years! PS: how many times have I drained the battery because I forgot to switch it off. Tip: let it plugged in the AC adapter, there is no auto-off function.
