Pettigrew « Modern Orange »
Published on 02/01/13 at 12:40I pass over the technical details, I write my test once I no longer have the amp ... Maybe the fact that separate me from head motivates me to write this review. In any case, all the details are here:
So I 50W version of this head, Made in England, it's handmade and it exudes quality from every point of view. The finishes are impeccable, and the inside of the beast is as good: Good ventilation, wiring and soldering hand ... well, expensive, but good job.
UTILIZATION
Two channels, a real clean, modern, round sound and accurate, but a reverb really unmanageable. After 4 to 10, you can not do anything, so the effect is impressive cathedral.
The channel is also saturated oriented modern hi-gain, even if it retains a grain orange. Everything is still versatile enough, the nice crunch to nasty distortion.
SOUNDS
I am a true fan of the vintage Orange, and then this amp is modern in sound and design. Apart reverb unmanageable, no particular concern. It's expensive, but it's very good material. I would say that it is a versatile amp, current in the sounds, while keeping its own grain, but still far from the classic Orange.
OVERALL OPINION
I kept this amp two years. I sold it because with orange PPC212 cab is really too powerful and unusable on stage. Such a beast should be pushed to give the best of itself and the sound engineers could not frame me ...
I have not been disappointed not this amp, but not really excited either. Certainly, the distortion is Orange always impresses and manufacturing quality is at the rendezvous.
This may be a good alternative to some hi-gain amps, but with the Rockerverb one moves away from the classic orange. But it's still super gear anyway.
