General

The AD30TC by Orange is a 30-watt valve combo. Its open back construction allows for a good look at the two 12-inch Celestion Vintage 30 speakers, as well as wide cleans with lively and clear trebles. The circuit is the same as in the AD30HTC head, yet it is now in a larger, rugged plywood housing that helps the combo achieve a perfect mix of spice and warmth. As always, the orange tolex ensures that this tube combo is a hard-to-miss attribute to any stage or rehearsal room.

Orange AD30TC: two separate channels

Thanks to its two channels, the AD30TC is effectively two amplifiers in a single housing. Both channels have their own, fully separate circuit. They each feature two-phase gain and a master volume control. Additionally, each channel can be set for a clean setting, with more crunch if so desired. Channel One has a gentle character with a big, traditional tone, whereas Channel Two comes with a tighter bass response, more gain and clearly present mids.

Versatile guitar amplifier combo

The great thing about a valve amplifier is that it responds marvellously to your personal playing style. No matter which genre you play, or which settings you use, this Orange amplifier is sure to follow you like a golden retriever. The EL84 valves deliver the sound of an era in which these amplifiers earned their excellent reputation. Combined with the GZ34 rectifier, this amplifier sounds even more vintage. From country to blues and from funk to metal, this combo is ready for virtually any type of music.

Wat een beest is deze Orange!

Van super clean tot geweldige vintage overdrive sounds, deze amp heeft het allemaal! Twee gescheiden kanalen geven je de mogelijkheid om twee separate sounds te creëren. Werkt allemaal super simpel. Klinkt ook zeer goed in combinatie met pedalen. Alles zeer net afgewerkt en top geleverd door Bax!

The Blackstar Artist Series: Classic and Versatile

Monday 2 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Blackstar has gone from a newcomer to an established name in a short space of time. One of their greatest assets is the Infinite Shape Feature or ISF circuit (as it's otherwise known) that they developed themselves. With the ISF circuit, Blackstar managed to greatly increase the versatility of tube amplifiers without the use of digital technology. The new Artist 15 and Artist 30 models both have an ISF circuit fitted and can produce the typical American 6L6 sound, as well as beloved British AC clean and crunch.
