Awesome Tone - But Not Perfect
This amp absolutely delivers on the gain channel. You can't get that classic Tom Petty overdrive or crank it up more to get metal type gain…. It's versatile…. However, the clean channel is not quite as smooth. In my opinion Marshall amps have the buttery cleans that I am a custom to, this amp needs serious help to have good clean tones…. I use my pedal board in the FX loop… read more that consists of only timing stuff. You will need pedals in order to use the clean at all. Also, the balance between the two channels is very disproportional, meaning that if you are at volume 5 on the gain channel, you'll be at volume 2 on the clean channel for comparable volume between the channels. In the studio, this thing is absolutely great… but for live gigs, I'm not sure it would be my go-to amp. Here's a fun cover I feud using the amplifier gain
The Best Amp I've Ever Owned!
- See the review title to read my full review. Thank you.
GREAT AMP
I'm really happy I spent the $$ for this amp. the 30/15/7 watts selection is really all you'll ever need. the one feature I was hesitant about was the tone shift on the gain channel. wasn't sure if I'd really like it. it's wound up being one of my favorite features with it. you have a balanced Bass & Treble , and can adjust for more or less mids. the FX loop is a great feature.… read more I wouldn't have bought it without one. I used to has a AD30HTC. great tone but painfully dry. the wattage adjustments for the TH30 makes it an ideal amp for various size gigs. I did swap out the 12axy preamps for 5751's in the V1 & V2 positions. smoothed the gain out nice. makes you push it a little harder. nice weight too. easy on my back.
Orange happiness.
This amp already has enough great reviews that I almost wasn't going to do one , then a few days ago a friend said something to me that changed my mind. He had got his hands on a new Martin D28 and described it as a life changer. About a year and a half ago I brought home an Orange Crush Pro 120 and a 1x12 cabinet both orange in color. The wife loved the look but I was not happy… read more with the sound. Should have known better than to choose solid state, but live and learn. Came upon some extra $ a couple months ago so I ordered the TH30… "Life Changer". So much tonal versatility and simplicity in a study chassis. So far been extremely pleased with this amazing head. Now I also have Orange happiness! A note about Sweetwater, by far the best bet for me. Been dealing with them for years and not a bad experience yet I'm lucky enough to be in a neighboring state so I get my stuff very quickly and the staff is top notch. Chuck and his family will treat you right.
My new favorite amp!
I started with the CR 60 and fell in love with Orange! I finally upgraded to my first orange tube amp The TH 30 and I am not disappointed! This amp is super versatile and can do everything from the most jangly cleans to the Most vicious distortion with beautiful articulate note separation.
