Anyone tried / owned an orange ad5?

I'm looking for a combo to play at home .
There's an orange ad5 for sale not too far from me for reasonable money.
i absolutely loved my hand wired tiny terror , but by the looks of it the ad5 is a totally different amp, no gain control !!!

i wondered what people thought of them, and what they'd be like for crunchy rock at home volumes .

    the AD5 is lovely but at 5 watts and wound up it is still very loud and may be too loud for your circumstances if you have neighbours close by.

    I recently bought a seriously fantastic all in one amp in the Orange Rocker 15. 15W with two channels clean and dirt. foot switchable (if you buy the F/S). half power mode takes it down to 7w, there is an effects loop, its compact and here is the best bit...... it has a fixed attenuation switch which knocks the volume down to 1 watt or 1/2watt when on half power mode when activated.... basically perfect for home practice.
