That Orange sounds fantastic. I wasn't expecting to hear that crazy cool classic almost Marshally but thicker sound.

Orange is the only major amp maker that I know of that gives you worldwide power compatibility of the box. Genius.

Haha just finished watching a Doug video. So glad you're making more videos like this. Keep it up bro.

That’s the best OR120 demo I’ve seen. You just shown just how amazingly versatile it is. Really liked the history and functionality sections. Thanks! 🔊🤠👍

man this is like a lecture in a university institute, not an amp demo! congrats!

I love orange amps, just learned about this classic amp last night while watching the Orange founder talk about it on a Reverb video. This is a cool parody-style take on a review of a classic amp. I love oranges, man. Just got a Micro Dark a few weeks ago and I can't wait to get an all-tube model. Also, that greco LP is sick, nice playing too. Nice video all-around!

Dude you can fucking play,seriously impressive. and I love how much passion you have for this amplifier. My dream amp is a dual rectifier,I was able to pickup a tremoverb in nearly mint condition for a steal,I can understand wanting an amplifier for a long time and finally getting it. Cheers man,have a great day.

Hahaha superb. Doug has something special going on. Wish you success with it.

Very thorough review, thank you sir! Love these vintage Orange amps, would love to try one out someday.

Hmmm I think you need a little Doug tongue and a amp&bids intro haha jkjk Keep up the good work !!!

Wow, extremely cool. This actually makes me even more impressed with my R120 pedal from Giulio at Kuro Custom Audio in Italy. It replicates the entire amp circuit (except the tubes), including Baxandall tone stack, FAC and HF Drive. After hearing this and other OR120 videos, Giulio really did nail it throughout the ranges of the various controls. He also makes a T120 which replicates the Matamp GT120. Great guy to deal with. Not being paid to say this, just blown away by how close his R120 comes to the actual amp. Really good video, by the way!

thats pretty damn close to the Electric Wizard type of overdriven fuzztone. just cant remember what amps and cabs they used on the dopethrone and i truly dont believe the sound of that track was accomplished with just using the good old boss fuzz. most likely they had that overall complete tone of ripping bass and two guitars tweeked really carefully using multiple pedals together to create that absolutely massive ripping riff that i still think to be the heaviest crushing tone ive ever heard. but nonetheless, that orange or120 cuts really close 🤘🏻 and btw, awesome video, 100% pure content and zero bs. keep it up dude

If Orange would just bring the FAC back. I guess Matamp won't let them. I like the modern Orange sound more though. I had an OR50 and while it didn't sound like a vintage OR, it sounded especially good and cranked it nailed that Sleep distortion.

I actually did not use it with this video, and truth be told, I actually don't own the Orange or the Weber anymore! I go through a lot of gear in chasing my tone, and in making these videos. Lots of buying and selling! And honestly, I'd much rather do an attenuater rather than do some kind of master volume mod because the tone will dramatically change (they actually made master volume versions in later years and they are not nearly as loved). Ultimately I found that I was happy with my non finicky and always consistent digital emulation with the Line 6 Helix. But still, this amp was an absolute blast while I owned it and it rattled the windows something fierce.

I believe it has to do with the separation of each control so that, unlike in Fender Marshall Vox, the controls won't affect each other and alter tone in an undesirable way. Perhaps an amp tech could describe it better than I can!

This was a great video and thank you for the content. I wanted to comment to give a suggestion, as I have found myself laughing my balls off as I walk around my house listening to you on headphones lol. It's a very niche thing, but for accessibility purposes you may want to think about your panning choices. I'm not sure if you are aware but your room mic for your voice was pannned hard left and all the playing was panned hard right. Even for perfectly balanced ears it was a bit jarring on headphones, it feels like the audio version of a jump cut in video editing terms. But for me, I was laughing my ass off doing chores around the house because I have about 1/4 hearing in my right ear lol 😆 imagine me anticipating the sound of everything you're talking about and just hearing basically nothing lol it became a meme in my head quick lol I want to love this amp but I can't actually hear it lmfao. Keeping the panning more neutral can help people like me still hear the bottom end and not have such a jarring volume and tone change too. I can flip around my headphones and hear what you intended, but it's more work for both of us with that amount of imaging lol

Best amp ever! Some asshole stole mine 2 Months ago.. Anyway, have fun with it !

I've used it a hundred times and it's part of my live rig, and I've never had it crap out like that. So rather than film everything again, which would have been a nightmare given my schedule at the time, I just used the camera audio and compensated as much as I could in post.
