I put my Fender HRDx and Peavey Classic 30 on Craigslist for trade.

Someone replied with a Orange AD-30 (Made in Britain) Single Channel Head..

He said he'd take the HRDx plus cash. or both amps for it.

The Head is definitely worth that in Monetary value.

BUt, i'm not looking to make a profit i'm just looking for great tone.

How is the AD30 clean?
How much gain does it have when cranked?

another thing is the AD30 doesn't have onboard reverb. And i'm a sucker for some reverb.

thanks..

I've tried playing an AD30 Dual-channel in the local store, as well as having a Single-channel model fully licensed by Orange Amplification on AmpliTube 3.7's Custom Shop.

It has a really nice, very warm clean sound when you pull off the gain. Not quite as sparkly as a Fender clean, but very nice in its own right.

As for how much gain it has: Think Hard Rock. That's with the gain knob dimed. It won't do metal, but you can get a GREAT british crunch sound out of it with the gain between 8 and 10. I love how it sounds, but I don't have $1,000 to get one. Pull a bit back and you can almost get a good AC/DC sound.

If you have AmpliTube 3.7 with a working interface, you could demo the Orange AD30 (and its combo speaker) yourself for 2 full days.
