Orange amp advice

[UpInSmoke]

I'm on an Orange kick again. I do love the Orange sound as a contrast to all of the Marshall type stuff I've got.

Has anyone A/B'd any of the big Orange amps to a Gain Baby/Crush? I had a Crush 120 Pro and, with an EQ in the loop, it sounded seriously damn good next a RV. I didn't record it but they were super close just jamming around on them. It almost feels crazy not to at least try an EQ in the loop of a Gain Baby and potentially save like $2k.

Between only those 2? I can't remember the last time I saw either lol. Th-30s are still aplenty, and awesome. The dual dark did nothing for me, and I really dig Orange.

I've convinced myself I don't need anything this year, but that new OR60 is trying to break me!

Dual Darks are hard to find, and expensive when you do find them.

I had a TH30H, and have a RV50 MKIII now. I'd definitely get another TH30H if I didn't have the RV50.

Yeah, that OR60 is getting at me too. I have one pre-ordered. I reaaaally miss my Rockerverbs. I'm open to others. The main ones in my sights are a Rockerverb MKIII, TH100 and OR60 (if not the Dual Dark). I essentially plan to end up with two of the options.

The TH100 is $1k, the RV and OR will be new. Is it worth skipping the TH100(30) ya think to end up with an OR60 and RV? If not a DD, that's kind of where I'm at.

Looks like they're about $3k+ right now. Damn scarcity. I get why people are listing them for what they do but I ain't paying nearly that much. I feel pretty positive I'd like the RV, TH100 AND OR60 more. How do you feel about the TH30 against the RV? I've had both but it's been a while.

Orange told me to try a Dark Terror if I really wanted that tone, that the mark-up is definitely too much for a used DD. Hard to argue with that. They're pretty hot on the new OR60 (of course). The demos sound killer!

The TH30 was great to be able to lower the power down, because it was still stupid loud for a 30w amp.
I think I like the RV a bit more. It feels like it's more diverse, even though I only use the dirt channel 90% of the time.
The attenuator on the RV also works really well, so I can still get most of what I want and not go deaf.

Updated title and original post. I think I'm off the Dual Dark hunt (unless I find a stupid good deal) but have other questions.

I don't know a lot about Orange Amps ... so I don't know if it's a steal ... but they have one ..... and for 35 bucks in shipping you can try it for 45 days assuming you have a GC close by to return it to .... and you don't mind putting up the 2700 till you decide if you want to keep it or not

I've tried numerous amps this way ...... but I also have a GC five minutes down the road from me

If I had 2k to spend on an Orange amp, I would buy a Matamp.
