GEAR USED: Fender MIM Telecaster 72 Deluxe, Epiphone Les Paul, Vox AC15c1, Orange OR15, Fender Blues Deville
“boy was it ever. i borrowed my friend’s orange to see how this compared to an actual orange. crank the gain on the amp and the pedal with some drop C was instant stoner heaven and the pedal copped the amp’s sound one thousand percent. the pedal was less saggy than the amp, which i liked, and got a lot brighter and crisper sounding (e.g., less “vintage fuzzy orange” and more “modern tight orange”). roll that presence back and it gets much more vintage-y and reminiscent of the or15. with the pedal set cleaner the cool cat fuzz melted into it exactly like the amp. i feel like a few pedals have tried to cop this sound but i feel like a lot sacrifice clarity for that fuzzy woof. not here. don’t skip this one.” (USA, Feb. 2017)
GEAR USED: Tele through a 2X12 combo which combines Vox & Tweed characteristics. I’m running Weber Alnico Blue & Silver speakers, so keep in mind that my impressions are based on single coils through an amp with strong mids and alnico speakers.
“When I originally signed up for the tour box, I was most excited to try the Flourescent Orange Amp in a Box since I’m a big fan of the classic Matamp / Orange amps of old. I was certainly not disappointed, and I was immediately able to dial in the grunt & heft of those old Oranges. One thing that surprised me when playing the FOAB was that it has plenty of sheen and presence available is you seek more clarity. I often associate the “Orange Sound” with a bold midrange & fast attack with solid lows but not much high end sheen. The FOAB is capable of more chime & presence than my old (sadly sold) Matamp 2X12 combo, for instance, and I think this makes the pedal that much more flexible. Crank the VOLUME pot up around 3:00, roll the MASTER back a bit, and keep the presence around 10:00 or so and you’ve got a thick British voice with the response of the big solid state rectified Orange beasts. Terrific box.” (USA, Feb. 2017)
