If you dropped 30 grand on it, would you even dare plug it in? Tempting I know, but I'm not sure I'd take the chance.

Cool amp though, despite my sarcy comment.

Probably works out to about $500 per component!!! Sure looks cool as hell though :)

Shot means old and broken??

I could imagine putting it on a nice socket with some candles each side and every day at sun rise and sun dawn kneeing in front of it and saying some prayers  :P

That's the same year as mine, but the internals look very different...

I like how they try and play down the 30K price tag by adding free shipping :lol:

Am I missing something here?

You could get a new one for $30K!

Well the question really is, what would give you more goose bumps, playing through this, or playing through 15 Bogner Shivas at the same price?

Looks COMPLETELY different to any Orange I've seen before - they've went with something quite different to normal here.  Its a pity there are no more photos so the circuit can be traced - could make one using a 'no cost spared' approach for £1000

Well the ad says clearly:
More photos will be furnished upon request.

So why not contact them as potential buyer and demand more gut pics?

I think handing over 30K on eBay would give me the most shivers :) I think I'd have to go visit the buyer before I paid him (or her)

Hell, no!  120 watts, 60 at the moment, just 2 EL34s.

That's 'cos it's actually a Matamp. It's a different circuit to the 100/120 watters.

The GT200 I designed for Matamp borrowed some of that circuit.

Just get Matamp to make you a new one for cheaper
