Finally treated myself to a new amp!

Orange OR-15 head. This thing sounds AMAZING  !

Plus it looks damn cool to boot... I'm not embarassed to say that was one of the major appeals to me  

There is plenty (ok... loads) of gain on tap, but wick down the gain, wack up the master volume, and you get a really nice clean tone.

I also tried an Egnater tweaker, but it just didn't do it for me personally (I found it to be kind of a jack of all trades, master of none). Really, really nice and versatile amp though.

The Orange seems to take pedals well (as far as I can tell), although I haven't tried any old school fuzz through it yet (fuzz face, Tonebender etc.).

I also treated myself to a matching open back 2x12 cab loaded with Vintage 30's, as the one I was using (VOX 1x12 cab that came with my AC4) just wasn't doing it for me.

I went for a head and cab as opposed to a combo as it means I can still easily use my Ampmaker heads (Se-5a and WF55) that I built.

One happy bunny over here; I frickin love this amp!

Congratulations!!!!

It is one amazing little amp!  You have almost the exact same setup as me, the only difference is I have the closed back 2x12 cab.

As far as pedals, the only one I really don't like so far is the Tonebender I just finished as it sounds very muffled on the orange (and it's crazy bright on my blackstar... weird).  My favorite pedal combo is Guitar->Fat Pants->Cherry Bomb.  The amp sounds so good just by it's self though that I tend to just use it naked a lot (with the exception of a reverb or delay in the effects loop).

I too am guilty of being swayed by the looks... don't fight it man... just embrace the orange of it 

Seriously though, your going to find yourself loving this amp so much you'll catch yourself wakening up spooning it (err... maybe that's saying too much ).

Enjoy!

Ha ha cheers dude.

I love the amp already thats for sure. Need to try some Fuzz with it though and see how it handles.

Took it to a rehearsal last night (just started a Jam band with my brother, who kills on drums) and it cleans up really well. Don't need no stinking clean channel when you have a volume control 

I imagine that the Orange look is a love/hate thing. Personally I love em'.

Amen.

Big grays, bud. That is one sweet setup. I'd never heard of Orange amps, much less seen one, when I saw Tim Sult playing through one back in '98 and it was the most badass thing I'd ever seen.

Aesthetically, Orange gear tends to be Vegemite. You either like them, or think the guy showing it to you is trying to poison your eyes.

Glad to hear you're getting on well with the new amp
