I had band practice yesterday and was the first time using the Orange Dual Baby with a loud drummer and bass amp. I just got an Orange V212 cab and so this was the first time using the amp and cab.

At 16 ohms, I couldn't believe how loud the amp was. As a point of reference, I gig with an Orange Super Crush combo and typically have the volume at 11 o'clock. I had the Dual Baby at 9 o'clock and was such a great crunch! I was using my Keeley Noble Screamer as a clean boost and could have dropped the Dual Baby gain down if needed (was at 1 o'clock).

Prior to getting the Orange V212, I had the Dual Baby hooked up to two 2x12s. Great tone but nothing compared to the V212. You guys were right, it makes a big difference even though you are hearing two speakers in each scenario. The low end was waaayyyy bigger but it is an open back cab so a log of sound coming out.

Really impressed with the Baby amps. If they could tame the noise a bit and figure out some of the occasional effects loop things, would be damn near perfect.
 
Just played one of these through my Marshall gb 4x12 yesterday. Impressive lil amp.
Also played a Blu Guitar Amp1 Iridium that was also impressive. I think it was a bit better than the Orange, barely. They both are pretty amazing.

Man, I bet it sounds killer thru a 4x12. I tried the Blu Guitar Mercury and didn’t love it but I gotta say that I had a salesman kind of hovering so didn’t get the time I probably should have had with it. I am sure the Iridium is better than the Mercury too.
