I am having a bit of a minor amp reshuffle after getting a VH100 back in the stable and it's killed of all but my Fender Frankenamp. The still however fills like a hole in my life left from selling my old Orange OTR. So.... I thought now might be the time to get another or an OR but then I remembered Adrian Utley (whom I love) eulogising about the AD30, then saw Mr Page using one and I thought it might be a more practical solution to itching my Orange scratch.
So do you have one, had one or tried one ?

@chrisv Thanks for that. In a sense it sounds quite similar to the main issue I had with my OTR in that regardless of it having a master volume the amp was dead at anything below unacceptable home volumes. The few times I gigged it (which was cleanish with pedals) it was phenomenally punchy and really beautiful. I too actually sold it because I thought I needed more than one channel.

I've got an AD15, very happy with it. Though I wonder if ^ is why mine blew a rec valve... Not sure how close it is to the 30, but I run mine like chrisv with gain from 3 for clean & 6 for hair. Add pedals to taste. When the gain gets high it doesn't sound too great to me on it's own. When the master is maxed it really sings esp with a pedal adding a bit, but it is fairly house-trained and sounds decent at lower levels.
Thinking of converting it to a head, the unit lends itself to that and I run it mostly to a cab anyway.
