overall very impressed with the amp. definitely has a voicing thats different from what i'm used to and thats a nice change of pace. sounds really nice for a solid state. the cleans are surprisingly very good and the dirty channel is very nice but is infinitely better with a overdrive/boost in front.

Sounds really good to me! I wouldn't have guessed it was a solid state from the clip.

Congrats. Looks nearly the same as my Rockerverb. Those Orange solid states sound quite organic... for a solid state. I had a Crush 30R in the past (gave it to my brother.)

So far I'm liking it a lot.  A lot more than the th30 I had a while back.   But not as much as the dark terror. That thing was juicy

Nice.  I actually like the Juggernaut, which I didn't expect...

I hope you've reinforced your floor!!!

The juggernaut is a super versatile pickup.  Way more than a metal/djent pickup

that comparison is quite close huh! wow. from what i read online, people say the differences really show at high volume levels, which is usually where tube amps shine anyway.

It's Youtube, so compressed and you don't feel the vibe of amps yourself, but I think the cleans are close. On the drivechannel the CR can't match the harmonic content and the midstructure of the RV. And it shouldn't when you consider the pricegap. The CR120 will appeal to a lot of players who can't afford an RV. As a Rockerverb-owner I only can say this thing sounds like cardboard on low volume. The amp gets into the famous Orange-rumble with the master past 12.00.
