Faulty new amp day!
Well, it was a few days ago anyway. Bought an Orange Rockerverb 100 on Sunday, unfortunately I haven't had a chance to put it through it's paces cos the power amp was a little temperamental on the Sunday, then totally shagged on Monday.
It's now back at the shop, hopefully it's just the tubes.

I'll post some comments about the amp when it's fixed.

This thread is useless without pix (albeit ones of you frowning at the amp)

Tubes are like light bulbs. They can go anytime. I'm sure it's a tube, maybe they didn't burn them in well, so you got a bad one somewhere. Happens quite often.

Good luck!!

could be worse, my HT5 replacement isn't coming until mid march now!!!

4 month wait for an amp, but I'll get it before roo gets his bloody murder

Think you might be right there, JDC :(

hmm, it adds another "e" everytime I quote it: "shiteeety"

[Lord Blakers]

Cheers guys. I've heard Orange amps are pretty reliable, so I'm optimistic that it is just a faulty tube and I'll get it back on the weekend. If not, I'll have to insist that the shop lend me one of their high end Engls, or a Mesa  :D

JDC - you are one patient man, I'd have told them to stick it by now and gone with something else.

[maverickf1jockey]

Happened with my Tiny Terror too.

It needed a revalve but luckily it wasn't too much of an outlay (not very consoling in your case, though.).

well I am tempted to get a refund and get a 1/4 watt amp and a good distortion pedal, but that would probably cost more and I haven't done any research into 1/4w amps

:lol:

what i always wonder is why it adds an  extra "e" to s h i t , yet if i type s h i t e (with no spaces, obviously) it also adds an extra "e".

:lol:

sorry to hear about the amp, by the way, that's very disappointing. :(

[Lord Blakers]

Today it's good news!
It was just a single faulty power amp tube, which has been replaced. I'll have it back tomorrow.

:lol:

I think it adds an "e" no matter what letters come before or after the word.  I'll test it...

yeah.

let's try this: shiteeeeee (i typed 5 "e"s)
