I've been really interested in this amp since they came out but yet to see one out in the wild, and there's not a lot of clips out there besides the ones that came out around the release.

Still that typical slightly fuzzy gained out sound they have. I’ll be sold when they actually recreate that 70’s bark in the midrange without the sludge. When you would turn them up about halfway to 2’O’clock before it doomed out.

I had an OR-15 years ago. It was a pretty killer amp with a boost. Had a vintage vibe and nailed those Ghost tones.
This one sounds much bigger and grittier. Sounds pretty good. Versatile.

I think they added Presence and Depth. Don't know what the "Fist-Knob" does.
(Others might chime in with at least one sexual-comment, or two. Two is even better.)

OR landed today. Got about two hours with it and it kills, I absolutely fucking love it.
It’s got all the growl, bark and kerrang of a Marshall, with slightly lower mids, more girth/lows and saturation, and a hint of that filthy signature Orange fizz/fuzz that you’ll either love or hate.
It actually sits between a 2203/04 and Recto orange channel, with a heavier lean toward the Marshall imo, like a British Recto or a USA Marshall.
It’ll excel at anything you throw at it. Straight in with low/mid gain it’ll do AC/DC all day, dime the gain you’ve got Doom, boost it, tight thrash tone, and all convincingly. The higher the gain, the thicker and more saturated it gets, adding to it’s versatility.
For a 60 watt amp it’s loud af and hits like a truck, with plenty of headroom. The louder you play, the more ferocious it gets with great punch and clarity.
The YT vids all sound great imo, and are a very accurate representation of how it actually sounds, only it’s much better in person of course.
I’ve got some killer Mesas, Marshalls and a Cornford and this amp is as good as anything in the room, brilliant amp.
If you’re considering pulling the trigger based on YT clips, don’t hesitate, it won’t disappoint.
I’ll get some clips up tomorrow.

I wonder why they went with 6L6’s. It seems like it would be an EL34 amp all day long.

The clips so far sound killer. I really like the simple format and 60 watts.

No bias select switch on the back so your tweaking the bias circuit to get it there and the primary impedance of the transformer won’t be right. It would be similar to converting those 90’s Marshall’s that came with 5881’s.

I've been using one live for a few months now, it's a killer amp. Gain sweep is super usable, and takes a boost well. I'm going to toss in a set of EL34s and see how I like it, I tend to prefer EL34 based amps. I had been using an OR30 for a year or two and absolutely love that amp as well.
