ORANGE
TH30
the definition of the overdrive tone, and
then I had to use the Shape control to dial
in the right amount of bite. With time,
however, I was able to achieve a good
balance for band work, but occasionally
at the expense of some of the dirty channel’s better, more aggressive tones.
The Verdict
Orange’s TH30 is a fine addition to their
product line. With its simple layout and
feature set and its flexible voicing, it packs
the potential to deliver that classic fat and
bright Orange tone, but it also stays punchy
and refined without having to be blisteringly loud. And that simplicity makes this
perhaps the perfect place to start for a
neophyte looking for the classic, brawny
Orange sound. It’s easy to see how the TH30
could win over the hearts and ears of players
otherwise sold on classic, clean nonmaster-volume circuits and high-gain aficionados
seeking a little more flexibility.
