I really like it, had it for a few years now. I picked it up second hand but it is an original from about 1980. Its nice & warm, if you turn it past 3 o'clock you enter rotary speaker/organ/vibrato sounds.
Cheers, there was me thinking this was new pedal for last year.

They have reissued these?

Just took a few pics of my Matamp combo for someone who was interested in it, though I may as well share here.

Cracking looking thing. That was a custom build wasn't it? How much was it if you don't mind saying?

James · Post by **James** » Fri Mar 09, 2012 12:45 pm

Nah I got it from ebay. I'm not even 100% sure which model it is but I think it's a King Street Classic.

I paid Â£415 for it.

Added a new pedal to the board yesterday.... MXR Micro Chorus, to give me a little more colour.

Really nice pedal !!! Never liked fast rate modulation but this one is particularly sublime at those settings. Really versatile for a one knob effect.

I've also upgraded the patch cable with Planet Waves - Solderless. Extra Niceness. Recommend them to anyone.

If anyone want's to hear any particular effect at whatever settings let me know and I'll do an demo. Can do reasonable sound samples - audio only, or video demo with iphone. Never worked out how to merge them.

First new guitar amp purchase in about eight years: an Orange AD30HTC.

I've wanted an AD30 for quite some time and found this one for a steal a few weeks ago; the timing was perfect. The cabinet is a spankin' new Traditional convertible-back 2x12 from Avatar and has two of their Hellatone 60 speakers, which are just Vintage 30s with some kind of slight aging and about fifteen hours on them for a bit of break-in. The cab sounds great at home so far and I can't wait to play it properly with the band this week. Last week I used the head atop the Vibrosonic and plugged the 15" in and it was really, really great.

I'm used to having a light OD pedal on constantly to give me a bit of breakup, but having two channels and an amp that can provide some OD on its own is a dream. I've seen the two channels billed as identical, but even Orange's own documentation explains how they're different. In my short experience, Chan One is almost Fender-voiced and stays a bit cleaner; Chan Two is whatever an Orange is supposed to sound like: literally dripping with gobs of strong upper midrange. They are two very distinct channels, and I can safely say I've freed up a spot on the board that used to house an always-on overdrive. The Bass Big Muff has also been flipped into Normal mode, instead of the Dry mode that used to pass the OD through and mix with the fuzz. I've put the Guyatone TZ2 on the board for this week as well and can't wait to hear it through the AD30 at a decent volume.

I also gave the AD30 a try with my Acoustic 4x10 bass cab, and it also sounds great in that configuration with both bass and guitar. I've long wanted a head/cab for both ease of transport and flexibility, and having a head that sounds great with bass and guitar is a dream.

i need my digiverb back into the board.

(cat bombs like every times)

been messing with my paul quite a bit recently, thinking of at least changing the pots in it to get more control out of the volume. finally got my DT and all seems ok so far. does get as hot as it did before it was repaired and seems to of got it's headroom back.

keep going back and forth between it and the mustang II. those mustangs really sound good, last two practices i've cranked it up on the 57 deluxe model with compression and smidge of verb. add the ocd and it's nice blue/rock tonez.

My amps/pedals.

I got the TT recently. I wish I'd got one years ago.

I have a Visual Sound compressor too, but I think the dog moved it/sat on it/ate it.
I'm in the process of having a pedal re-jig, so I need to make a board and get a decent power supply. Any suggestions?

you're in the UK?

Email http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com about getting their Diago Style supplies back in stock

Yeah, Johnnyshredfreak is a great power supply but I didn't see it on his site last time I was there. Maybe it was just temporarily not in stock?

I'm looking at getting a T-Rex Fueltank Chameleon at some point in the future, mostly so I can streamline my pedal power instead of having up to four or five individual wall sockets at any one time. It was a contest between that and the Voodoo Labs PP2+, but the Chameleon won because it provides 300ma to each outlet. JAWSOME.

Cross post from the diary thread, I've been running my ZT Lunchbox quite a lot recently and have found that it works really really well with my Joyo California Sound - gives me a really natural amp overdrive sound (with none of the speaker simulation sizzle that I've had playing it through other amps oddly). Sounds great.

Using it with a 4x12 though really made me completely re-evaluate the amp, it could be a seriously great gigging tool - acting as a head if you can borrow another band's cab or as a combo in it's own right.
