rockaverb 50', nice thick sound, nice gain amount on tap, no so tight for uber metal but still ok and awesome tone and grainy sound. But now it really needs a nice cab. It coped well with the orange one from its former owner so I might go for this one or maybe one of those blackstar 3/4 closed artisan series cab.

The blanket was an orange wink to the amp color and I'm also known for having some funny blankets or bed sheets (the one with lil cows) and making photographs from my gear with those backgrounds.  :P

Well more seriously its a huge move and step aside from pure metal tight sounds for me after having owned some custom made NOS french amp, 5150, engl heads, peavey XXX and so on. I'm amazed at how much gain comes out but keeping this british raw voicing with huge palm mute sounds. I'm smelling that with the had of a little boost to tighten it up and a good solid cab that can take its low end it will slay for high gain riffing but keeping warmth and a nice color to the sound.

Damn Brits', they sold me to pickups now to amps. Whats next ? Cars ?  :lol:

Looks cool, I must try a few Orange amps 'coz I still love the tone of my little Tiny Terror although I don't really use it any more  :?

Congrats! I have the Rockerverb 50 head too. Great amp. Don't leave the blanket on it too long. The 6V6's don't like it...

thats the blanket adding warmth, take it off for a different tone - play around with this, lots of tonal options to be had.

Ok, just would be a pity to see something going up in smoke...
