i don't know if anyone owns this exact set up but i am interested in buying it. i just want to hear what people think about it. i play pop punk/emo type music (blink 182, the wonder years, real friends, the story so far, handguns, forever came calling, state champs etc) and i was wondering if this rig would allow me to reach these tones. i have listened to many demos on the amp and cab and they both seem pretty awesome. (then again, its orange.. there isn't much not to like :D ) unfortunately, there is no where around me that sells them both so i can't really go and test it out for myself and i have to base my opinion solely off of demos and reviews.

anyways, let me know what you think, pros and cons, and your overall view on the rig.

thanks!


p.s. right now, i am not playing any big venues (as i know closes back cabs are better for bigger venues)
 
The Fall of Troy and Switchfoot use Orange heads for reference. I'm sure they would work.
 
I had an AD30 2x12 a few years back. I'm not familiar with most of the bands you mentioned. Link me a couple of youtube clips and I'll tell you if it'll do those sounds.

(Blink 182 is Dual Rectifiers. The AD30 won't do that sound, but there's no reason you couldn't play Blink 182 songs on it.)

blink uses vox ac30s and fender twins now. thanks to all that replied though. i have never used an open back cab (or an ad30) so i just wanted to double check!

thanks again!
