Orange AD30TC BLK 30W Class-A guitar amplifier combo black
Product no: 9000-0017-7400 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Orange AD30TC valve combo is now available in this black version, for everyone who's looking for the traditional Orange tone, yet who doesn't particularly fancy the orange look. Its two 12-inch Celestion Vintage speakers are in a rugged plywood, open-back housing that is perfectly capable of surviving transport to a gig or rehearsal many times. Once you're there, you can let everybody enjoy the spicy, warm sound that Orange amps are famous for.

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 to a clean setting, with increasingly 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 ensure the sound of the 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.

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.

Wednesday 4 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

It's already been more than 10 years since VOX turned the amplifier world on its head with the Valvetronix series.

Now however, the time is ripe for VOX to introduce another series that, rather than show another slow and steady improvement, offer something more like evolution accelerated. Meet the VT20X, the VT40X and the VT100X, the first three models from the new series.
