    Default Orange gets into PC's

    I love my Orange™ amph. Have you heard about the new Orange™ computer? Seems like a niche idea, but it sure looks cool!

    I mean, no offense, but I don't really see why, like guitar players from Creed, or something like that, are on the cover of guitar magazines. Almost anybody can sit down and learn to play those songs.

    I've never heard of Orange amps but that PC looks kinda cool.

    What kinds of sounds do you get from your Orange? I think they look sharp.

    Seems like a strange idea.

    It sure beats having a frigile laptop on stage.
    I can see owning an amp for decades, but the PC part will become "outdated" in, oh...

    And when it crashes you no longer hit CTRL-ALT-DEL, instead it's WAMMY BAR+BRIDGE HB+Open E

    It looks pretty cool.

    Makes sense. The original Orange amps were about as reliable as Windoze The "reissues" are much better.

    I saw a show once where the lead guitarist was repeatedly pounding his Orange head to try to get it to turn on, but eventually needed to bring out some sort of Fender to play for the rest of the night.

    ...or maybe it was the other way around. The Fender amp had a huge logo in front that lit up when it was on -- that much I do remember.

    Creamy wonderfulness.

    Back in the day, if you were a UK rocker your choices in amphs were Marshall, Orange or HiWatt. You may not realize it yet, but you absolutely need an Orange Tiny Terror. Play through one at your local Guitars 'R Us, and you'll know I'm right
