Kept the clean recording from yesterday, recorded crunch and lead again.



Thanks for your honest feedback and your time :)

Olaf
 
Thanks Joe.
Didn't know you're hanging around here too - thats great !
 
Unfortunately my italian chassis-manufacturer stopped making them, really a shame, its smaller than the 18 Watter Marshall (clone) stuff but big enough for a three channel amp . . .

Thanks for the kind words, Randy.
 
Sweet! That cord (E I think) at 3:53 is just wicked good tone. Cleans are great too. Very much my taste in an amp tone. :yes:
 
You always get real nice clean tones out of your amps. :rock:
 
Every channel sounds great Olaf, the clean sound very nice and congrats for being the first person to play that song on Rigtalk :D

Loved it.

I drop by every now and then. Probably more now that HCAF is descending into an even deeper level of hell :D I'm finally starting the build I had been talking about some time ago BTW. I'm definitely excited!
 
Thanks my friends. I appreciate it :)

Yeah Scott - I have to play at a wedding of my wife's sister soon and so I'm practicing stuff like this . . . :D
 
nice Olaf! you know I love Duesentrieb amps.

but I was particularly impressed with the guitar..... VERY beautiful Orville :D

tell me something, what pickups does it have? and would you recommend an Orville over an Edwards?
 
It has Rockinger Pickups, Joey. Bellbucker Bridge and Alnico Neck.

The Orville Les Paul is as close to a Les Paul Standard (see headstock) as it can be. If it is that what you are after: try to get one on the used market (US or Japan). ObGs are even closer (and more €€€), Orvilles (like mine) have cheaper electronics ( I don't care, I change that anyway) and sometimes (like mine, I don't mind at all :D ) an additional top on the maple cap - a thing which turns off purists, but not me :D
It weights 4 Kilos, neck is between '58 and '60, so pretty much like the Edwards necks.
 
some more info..
Most of the best Japanese replicas were built between 1978 and 1995 in the Fugi-gen Gakki factory by Japanese luthiers, these include the "lawsuit" guitars and forced Fender and Gibson to license this factory to produce their branded products in Japan. In many cases, these Japanese Fenders and Gibsons are of higher build quality, finish and tone than the US made versions.
Orville by Gibson, Orville, and Greco were all mainly produced by Fugi-gen Gakki.

Orville by Gibson

Orville by Gibson were the Japanese manufactured Gibson Les Paul, fully approved and authorised by Gibson USA. The Japanese made guitar was actually a closer copy of the 1959 LP than the Gibson USA guitar being produced at that time.
The Japanese models usually had a long tenon like the 1959 LP's, the US Standard version did not.

The vast majority of ObG's were made at the Fuji-gen factory,

The Orville by Gibson Les Paul Reissue series (LPR) 1993-1994, were the top of the range Japanese produced Gibsons, they all have stock Gibson USA electrics and pickups, nitrocellulose laquer finishes, blank truss rod covers and fret edge binding, and were only made from late 1992 to early 1995, they also tend to have the fattest necks of all the ObG's. These are rare, and the ObG Reissue flametops are even rarer.

The Orville by Gibson Les Paul Standard series (LPS) 1988-1993, do not have fret edge binding and have "Standard" on the truss rod cover,..but are otherwise identical to the ObG reissues.

There are some ObG LPS models which were produced in very limited numbers, like the 54 LP (stoptail and P90's), and some Limited Edition runs of (usually) 50 guitars like the LP TV Yellow Junior. There were also a number of limited run series made for large Japanese guitar shops, such as Yamano, these can be spotted by the lack of a pickguard hole as they were ordered with the pickguards off, and are usually but not always, solid flame tops, and one very limited run features solid Flametops, and a one piece back.
The Limited Edition Guitars usually came with their own hardcase, but all other ObG's were sold with a ObG gigbag, and so as a result ObG Original Hardcases are very rare.

Most of the ObG flametops are laminate, but there are some solid flametop guitars, these are extremely rare.
Most ObG flametops are usually quite understated, and any ObG with a highly flamed or quilted top (the LPQ models) are unusual, and normally veneer. There were no Orville by Gibson Photo-flame tops.
Orville by Gibson's used the premium wood available to the luthiers.

Orville's are essentially the same guitars, but with Japanese electrics and Orville P.A.F type pickups, (which are very nice) they are finished in poly not nitro, some Orvilles were issued with Photo-flametops, and K serial numbers were in a different factory to Fuji-gen. its now generally agreed that these were the Terada factory

Most Orville by Gibson and Orville guitars have the long neck tenon which is faithful to the "holy grail" 1959 Gibson Les Paul (which is what all these guitars were trying to replicate). This feature is only available on the current Gibson Historic reissue series and is considered to be a superior method of neck/body joint giving better sustain and overall tone.
From early in 1995, Orville by Gibson was discontinued, and in 1998 Orvilles were rebranded as Epiphone by Gibson (Japan).
These were only produced for 2 years up to 2000, the Japanese Epiphone's are really Orville's with a different headstock inlay.
There were no replacements for the Orville by Gibson models, and as such these are becoming very sought after.
 
interesting.... I'm not a guitar snob, nor particularly interested in a Gibson copy.... I'd just like to give another Les Paul a try.

where are you more confortable on? a strat a les paul or the schecter?
