"Bloody Brilliant"
Verified Purchaser

I bought the this for plugging acoustic/electrics into - it also sounds amazing for electrics - bringing out the characteristics of humbuckers or single coils - just enough warmth and drive from the tube for harmonically beautiful drive and plenty of reverb - a little for jazz , then jumper the effects loop, use both balanced outputs to frfr speaker cabs- crank the tube and ‘verb for surf rock... and that’s only using the onboard reverb and mini tube without engaging separate A or B effects loops. Color me impressed, this ‘acoustic’ pre by Orange is Bloody Brilliant.
Sound
The sound is clean, crisp, and when driven the individual overtones and character of pickups is really evident.
Features
Most useful feature is secretly being a DI box - I can easily bridge gain stage requirements AND have independent effects loops.
Ease of Use
Great sounds are very easy to get - there is t a way to switch between favorite presets, which would be a useful performer feature.
Quality
Built like a tank.
Value
For an acoustic performer this is an easy win - bring the Orange acoustic pre - connect direct to FOH. I think this could be a secret weapon of electric guitarists.
