Feed me your Oranges...SORTED

I had another go on an Orange OR100 last week and tbh, after regrettably selling mine at the end of last year I have been missing the tone ever since. Well, missing the tone AND the fact I could play it at all levels. Sometimes I even cry myself to sleep knowing I don't own it anymore (maybe a lie...).
I currently own a Matamp GT1 and it sounds breathtaking, but tbh I find life easier with a high gain amp. The Matamp is also too loud to use at bedroom volume and feel this would be more beneficial to somebody in a doom/sludge metal band. My band is of the sludgey variety but we play a lot faster at times and - for me, the Orange handled it better than the Matamp.

I also don't use clean so yeah....anybody out there have an Orange OR50 or a Thunderverb 50 they wanna get shot of? At a push an OR100 if nothing can be found of the other two?

    Give me a shout at the factory - I can mod your GT1 down to 50w and increase the drive if you want!

    @Van_Hayden - It's currently being fixed at the moment (it went kaput a couple of weeks back, Coda are looking at it as they're local to me) but once I get it back I'll definitely consider that option. Cheers!

    May cheekily ask for a 'redecoration' of some sort as well perhaps (new tolex, faceplate etc) as I did get this second hand.

    I can price it up for you - best option is come and see us, I'll stick it on the bench and change a few things around. You can drop it down to 40w if need be.

    much better solution than selling it for an orange...

    Holy necro bump Batman!

    Yep I've decided to keep my Matamp - I've got some OUTSTANDING sounds with the right distortion/fuzz pedals (still trying to find 'the one' but I'm almost there). Can't believe I thought about getting rid of this thing. May still send it to @Van_Hayden just for a 50w mod at some stage and perhaps a retolex!

    ...but yeah, consider this thread done and dusted.
