  • Right now I have a Peavey 6505+ head. I'd love to own this amp, the price tag is fucking insane tho. Only thing is, I kinda like the cleans from mine better. Orange has very impressive distortion, I've always liked it.

  • what was the first thing the first guy played?

  • It's funny to see people hating Misha... but I must admit that if I was not a fan of Periphery I would maybe too... He looks looks an average kid playing random and making some noise. It would be better with a beat behind and some Periphery shit.

  • wow this is the worst metal guitar iv ever seen..

  • This is the one Jim Root used before having his sig., right?

  • Meh, never been a fan of any orange head, they make great cabinets but i never liked their heads.

  • great amp shit players

  • @666xvm the fuck is wrong with you? listen to periphery.

  • 60 dislikes???????? That proves it PEOPLE == SHIT.

  • There's a bit of tasty squelch in this head. Bravo Orange!

  • i really like the amp but fucking hate the latter guitarist.

  • @calvinasqw hes revolutionary believe it or not, lol.

  • These finger slappers give musicians a bad name.

  • This amp has it!

  • Orange™ You couldn't make this amp sound like shit if you tried. And even if you could then you'd probably just get electricuted in the process...

  • better tone than the mesa

  • i know its not a real tube high gain amp ... but can you pleas demo the fender mustang v ???

  • @suffersystemdegrees I know how to use my tube screamer. I set it to the edge of breaking up, then kick in the TS. Doing it on the gain channel gives little noticable effect. Especially when the gain is all the way up.

  • 56 plays violon

  • @ecwtable The violin is a beautiful instrument and takes skill to play. 106 PLAY, guitar.

  • @penningtonant not sure

  • It would be nice to hear these amps with a few "normal" chords played through them even at this higher gain stage, not just the low B string pull offs and 2 note power chords. Is it just me???

  • lol, is a tube screamer really going to make any noticeable difference to that already gain saturated amp?

  • @okamasphere

    Of course it makes a difference. There are many ways to use a tubescreamer. You can use it as an overdrive as some blues players might do, for example, or you can use it as a clean boost for solos, like many guitarists of different playing styles do.

  • @okamasphere It's used alot of the time as a way to tighten the gain and add a little oomph and whatnot to an already saturated amp. Many, many guitarists use them in this way. They keep the gain low or nil, and up the level to really tighten things up. Works wonders on certain amps and for really tight tone.

  • @IwonYou121 Extremely sewerage quality, you are correct. Nice amps however.

  • @IwonYou121 LOL It's a tone demo XD They're not exactly trying to show off...

  • misha looks like he just started laying guitar a year ago...

  • this noobs again

  • playing an orange like this is called heresy, i'm sorry.

  • @legendzskate Are you kidding? Orange amps do this better than most other amps.

  • @legendzskate And who decreed that any kind of musical equipment was supposed to be used in a specific way? Frick, what happened to ingenuity.

  • @XThisBeautifulLifeX no one decreed nothing. nor I was saying it should be used differently or specifically. they just made this amazing amp sound like shit. just saying...

  • @legendzskate To say that the playing wasn't the craziest or all that technical is fair, yes. They probably could have played something a little more versatile. But to say that the playing was shit is a pretty stupid and arrogant comment. Everyone has different interpretations of things, and how things should be used. That's why people make other demos for you to watch. Just saying.

  • How did his volume shrink with the tube screamer? Was it mixed that way?

  • Starts playing at 1:43 ...

  • wait a minute... does the jekyll really have 27 frets? damn thats a lot

  • what are they doing actually. ? Damn...

  • It's between this one and the 6534 for me. Orange has more character though, and very nice reverb on the cleans too

  • there's waaaayy to much gain

  • @Duroduro666 Well, it's called monsters of high gain....

  • @Duroduro666 there is never too much gain my friend......

  • Why couldn't they use Brent Hinds or Bill Kelliher to demo this amp?

  • Sounds abit fizzy and stuff

  • The video series is called Monsters of HIGH GAIN, everyone, I for one am sick and tired of every orange amp demo being done by an old brit playing Led Zeppelin or a young stoner playing sludge. I love Zeppelin and sludge, but I already know this is gonna nail it. I was ecstatic to hear this amp interpreted by some metal heads. THANK YOU PREMIER GUITAR .COM!

  • @jhop5150 Agreed

  • @jhop5150 Totally,... anytime I hear someone launching into a demo some half assed pentatonic with a soulless, lengthy bend at the 'peak' (careful, we might all orgasm), I change before the vid hits the ten second mark. Sick to death of it. As well as having an overdose of blues-wank, I want to hear how an amp can dish out CHORDS to get a feel for what it's 'really' like. Ok, rant therapy over for today.

  • @jhop5150 You know I thought the same thing. Every one says Marshall is the shit, no it's FUCKING ORANGE! Slipknot, August Burns Red, Texas in July all use these. They sound so much more "authentic" and just "Hell Yeah" than any other amp.

  • @Luke850222 August Burns Red????? They are using Peavey mate.

  • @azhariwarman Not before they were sponsored by Peavey

  • They should get people that are normally associated with each amp or have a sound normally associated with this amp. People who are looking for a Orange aren't looking for that bright high mids sound. They're looking that dark, rich growl tone you'd hear from Mastodon and similar bands.

  • fucking killer amp shame these guys are making it sound like pure balls :(( ya need the messiah Kirk Windstein to demo this baby \m/

  • yay...noise. they say no publicity is bad publicity but Orange may want to think about it, like tommy hilfiger telling the jersey shore to quit wearing his clothes

  • these guys make the best amps out there sounding lame.

  • This amp is not for those metal dudes......

  • @Duroduro666 anybody can play any amp.. its music ffs

  • i like the orange one and the peavey one they sound good but these guys make all of them sound them the same

  • To bad these amps are manifactured in China...Orange amps aren't manifactured in London only sold after they are made.

    If it dosen't say on the back of the amp "Made in the U.K or manifactured in London" and only bares the orgin as this amp clearly does, the amp isn't made in England.

    I will post a video of a 20 year old Marshall amp I own and on the back it clearly indicates where the amp was made.

    Many amp companies today have turned to out sourced manifactures for big proffits.

  • @JBL8863 at around 1:24 while they are showing the back it says Orange London England...I don't know that that means manufactured there or just the company Headquarters is there.

  • @logipi79 Check out the demo I did on my channel tittled "Is your amp made in England or not".....it will show you what to look for when your in the market for an amp.

    The British flag stickers and the words London England don't mean squat...See for yourself.

  • Jesus christ all you guys talking all this shit about these two guys demoing these amps are a bunch of fucking dork children who probably don't even know how to play an E chord. Why don't you take these videos for what they're worth; good introductions to the best high gain amps out there. Quit judging them by the way they dress and their race and shit. It just makes you look just as lame as those idiots who leave lame comments about Justin Bieber everywhere. Get a fucking life, kooks.

  • @novalibra1208 i'm not about to criticise their clothes, hair or race, or even playin ability but the riffs these 2 guys play are not showing what these high gain amps can do, sludgey death metal in random drop tunings isn't the ONLY use for it. Anyone who listened to metal from the 80s before Korn or Slipknot know this and therefore comment and dislike. No denying the amps are sick, just get someone who plays interesting music

  • @novalibra1208 --> ever notice guitarists are mostly assholes? not all..but most. 

  • @bonetrainmusic Not true

  • @novalibra1208 Exactly. Fucking kookie mooks.

  • @novalibra1208 Nah sorry but those guys were extremely fucked players. Anyone who had any means to touch the strings could have made such sounds.

  • @novalibra1208 I've never judged by appearance or playing. But it's incredible that they're not able to create decent tones without a fucking tubescreamer - The guitarplayers used for the review is by all means better than me, but they really don't do these amps justice, they really, really don't!

  • @novalibra1208 i agree. these are great demo videos for us to learn on.

  • They both play very similar for my.... It would be better if another player with a DIFFERENT playing style had played on the video...

    Rockeverb is a great amp, but it's not shown at all on this video...

  • too much gain for djent..

  • why are these guys making the amp sound like ass

  • wow the orange with a surprise attack i had no idea these amps had that much gain I always think rock when i see them

  • the mic position is a total fail -.-

  • @Petrasilchen theres different hot spots, its not going to be in the same place as where you keep your mics

  • @legendsveil yeah i know but this definitely not a hot or sweet spot... for a example of how the amp sounds is the mic much to close ... a close micing is cool for cutting through the mix sounds but for amp examples,especialy in highgain mode, the mics way too close

  • @Petrasilchen Ohh , I get you :)

  • The haters of these players are dreaming. Maybe not the best but who cares? 1 chord and good rhythm can move the soul more than a thousand notes per minute.

  • @ITSJAMAY

    name me one thing that shows talent in this vid

  • @ITSJAMAY

    actually, yea you do lol. Don't EVER let name n fame decide if someone knows their instrument. With toads technology, you could be horrible and still sound sellable, and that's what it's all about, being sellable.

    You don't need talent to get signed so remove that from your mind, it's the single biggest misconception and lie there is. Sound unfair? That's life! Dickheads make money while real virtuosos barely get by! And seriously, do you play guitar? How many years? And name me ONE t

  • @1withguitar

    I am 110% with you. I fucking hate how some guy gets on a custom guitar, chugs a few chords, and suddenly he's a god and a guitar virtuoso. It's bullshit! It's people like that that give real metal guitarists a bad name! Both of these guys suck! And for half the video that misha guy doesn't know what the fuck to do. QUIT BEING LAZY AND GO LEARN YOUR FUCKING THEORY!!!

  • @Aoimusha412 I can assure you that both of these players know the theory behind their instruments and that they are VERY TALENTED. You don't get singed to a label for being a dickhead who can't play his instrument...

  • @13uddha1993 No problem dude:)

    /Cheers

  • @13uddha1993 A metal sub genre, where the goal is to have an as sludgy tone as possible, the pace of the music is usually very slow

  • Comment removed

  • Would have been nice if some of them actually could play...

  • mischa is good enough to play in slipknot

  • @coltenbhell and yet no member of slipknot is worthy to even be in misha's presence

  • Hi, this is Ty, I'm gonna be playing great for, like, 30 seconds.

    Hi, this is Misha and I'm gonna be doing nothing for like an hour or so. Nobody's gonna understand my new "style".

    Enjoy!

  • What happened with Bulb? He is playing worse each time more lately.

  • seriously this misha guy is fucking awful. he knows nothing about music, he cant even improv a solid riff.

  • i really dislike the way misha plays its basically chug chug chug with some sour notes

  • @DopeDethrone you're either failing to understand what i mean, or you have a seriously inflated ''youtube-ego'' and are simply under the impression that anyone with an opinion different to yours, is wrong. these demo players aren't being diverse. i'll word what i mean another way - my problem is that they're doing either fully cranked gain, or clean sounds. as an audio enginner, i can safely say that no one needs anywhere near as much gain as these guys are demoing with. it just sounds crap.

  • @carlxrussell I agree with you there. I used a lot of gain when I was younger. I played a JCM800 with the gain at 10, and I listen to the albums I recorded back then and hate my guitar tone. I now use an Orange AD30 with the gain at 6, and I believe I'm a better player because of it. Low gain is unforgiving, and doesn't cover mistakes. It has forced me to play better.....and I like it!

  • @DopeDethrone its not that i cant hear differences between amps, i said they're treating them identically, not that they sound identical, if you're going to try and correct me, atleast get the basic grasp of what i was saying in the first place. i just dislike how they're doing exactly the same stuff through each one, rather than showing certain styles/tones which those amps are best at. dont get me wrong, these are good demos, they just could have been a lot more diverse with thier testing.

  • these tests aren't bringing the amps individual characteristics into the equation. they're treating them all identically, just cranking up the gain and riffing, rather than trying to show what each amp is best at. ty is getting too much abuse aswell, everyone should just stop riding misha's dick for a moment and just realise that he plays a totally different style. misha's playing is far from impressive in these videos, he's fairly sloppy and muddy sounding at the best of times in these videos.

  • Fantastic amp for Sludge and Doom.

  • misha diesn't know how to play a seven string like its supposed to be played and i don't like that

  • @michaeldrywater Do you? I don't see any vids of yours proving you can do better. In fact, I don't see any vids from you at all.

  • @michaeldrywater

    Go learn some Djent; in fact, he can do some jazz as well as Meshuggah style stuff, so give him a break.

  • @michaeldrywater What the fuck is 'supposed to be played'? Anyone can do whatever the fuck they want.. ESPECIALLY Misha.

  • @michaeldrywater i hate you fuckers who think that a 7 string much be used for jazz licks, fuller chords and slow, creamy scales. that may be what it USED to be for but not anymore. to be honest, that type of music isnt even popular anymore. so what us metalheads said was "well i love lower tunings but i love keeping my high notes as well" and so we adopted the 7 string into our music. i dont care about playing technical because i am not a shredder. i play slow and heavy. and thats how i like it

  • yuck. i don't get why people like these amps

  • @Noztastic well what do u play?

  • And where's the guy to play some hard rock and 80's metal in these puppies?

  • @brunopv85 Yeah lol I was actually expecting some dude with a perm and a bandana to bust out some shreds with his floyd-roseified kramer. That's usually the standard demo for high-gain amps.

  • lets get right to it, youll recognize this cab right away. this is an orange head. -_-

  • @wxp24 The head also has a "cab" containing the chassis and the amp itself

  • @frankibiris76r ive never heard anyone use that term before lol

  • I can only describe misha's playing with one word: djent. That motherfucker is ridiculously djenty. In a good way.

  • After watching all this I don't wanna play my Line 6 Micro spider...which is all I have :/

  • @overtheunder1993 "Sludge" music is what comes out of shitty sounding solid state peavey combos. This is an ORANGE. They are High quality and should not be eq'd to sound like fucking "SLUDGE". Go buy a cheap shitty peavey 1x10 combo amp for that crap.

  • @DaddyDevilKingGhost This isn't sludge, and the build quality of orange amps kinda sucks...not so reliable.

    I find them muddy sounding but that's taste, some people do sound good with them.

  • @timjatomnee The build quality of Orange amps is MUCH better than most Marshalls (dsl,tsl,jvm etc.) and just about every amp in it's class. I am not talking about the combo amps made in china I am talking about their heads made in england. They are not the best for say ... speed metal, unless the Bass player knows how do dial in correctly but still a Framus cobra, dragon or even JCM800 would be better for that. BUT Orange wins for music like Down, COC, Clutch, QOTSA etc. JCM800 can work also.

  • @DaddyDevilKingGhost I have seen pictures of the inside of modern Orange amps, The components like capacitors are hanging loose. I don't like the feel of the amps but that's personal like I mentioned before. I wont even start about modern Marshalls, I don;t like them, I used to own a DSL50 but it was thin sounding. The JVM sounds like crap in my ears, it sounds very thin, it lacks mids and focus, and when it sounds thick it gets boomy. What is the class?The guts of my Brunetti's look much better

  • @timjatomnee Never heard or played a Brunetti. The only problem with the Rockerverb 100 I have is on the clean channel. When the volume on the guitar is up you can hear a little noise from turning the amp from the volume all the way down and bringing it up. Almost as if there is a short in the clean volume. But it's under a 2 year warranty from Orange so we'll see what happens. I do agree the new marshalls sound like garbage to me as well. What I mean by "class" is price range, 50w 100w tube amp

  • @DaddyDevilKingGhost There are 5000 dollar amps in the 50w class, also 500 dollar amps. Enjoy your orange!

    I highly recommend brunetti ;)

  • @timjatomnee 500 or 5k in the same class? you are not that dumb. When something is in "the same class" we are talking about a similar product at a similar price. Did you not read what I wrote? Idiots pay 5000 for a guitar head. Why? Because you can get something WAY BETTER for 2k. Trust me. I've spent many years on the road with the biggest names in the industry. Many long nights of conversations about gear. Musicians with unlimited amounts of money and resources. Orange is 1 of the Very Best!

  • @DaddyDevilKingGhost It's possible to read it in 2 different ways. I don't agree Orange is 1 of the best, the build quality is so so, there is no possible discussion about the tone cuz it's personal. A matchless is very expensive for example but also sounds awesome, 2 rock etc...

    I also own a 1959slp like amp I have built myself so I know something of the insides

  • Seymour duncan fu*** rulz

  • on misha's side, that tube screamer really added clarity to everything. 

  • @HorizonGeetar93 Yea on the rt100 that I love the tone of I played with a od808 and it smoked, might the best amp for the price along with the 6534/6505/3120, hell I think it sounds better then that shitty ass vh4.

  • loose city damn it! More than the rectifier

  • @DaddyDevilKingGhost Referring to the 2nd kid playing of course.

  • These guys make every amp sound the same.

  • I like how at 2:01 you can see in Misha's face how excited he is. Unlike all the other vids, he was just waiting for the Orange!!! XD

  • sounded like smashing pumpkin's cherub rock lol

  • whats in the cab? i've noticed its used a lot by em but ii never heard em say what it was

  • @Sean2592 it's an orange 4x12 closed back with celestion V30

  • These are amazing videos, and I'm really happy that I came across them... But the problem is that anyone who plays in a band knows that you can't play with that level of gain all the time (unless it's some ____-metal band.) The gain settings for these demos are good for guitar store noodling. Yeah, It's very important to crank it so you can hear what it sounds like maxed out. But they should have played a few riffs with the gain brought back down to a more moderate level, too.

  • @eric22rr Totally agree with you, but the videos are Monsters of High Gain :P Although i see where your coming from, you cant judge a purchase based on these demo's, but for seeing whats got the best high gain sound they are awesome!

  • @Jordantm0 I never said I was basing a purchase on these videos. I understand their call, though -- and I don't blame them for focusing on super high gain. I'm saying I would like to see just a tiny bit more. Like you said, it IS the monsters of high gain, so it shouldn't be a surprise. However, it's important to remember that there's more than one definition of "high gain". Plenty of high-gain amp users use very low gain settings (I'm talking about the gain knob, specifically.)

  • None of these guys play the proper style for this amp. This is one of the ultimate sludge amps, man.

  • @overtheunder1993 These bastards are tight..... ive tried a 50w and i was amazed, they have no right sounding as brutal as they do.....lol.

    Jim Root uses this one in his rig.... anything goes i guess!!

  • @overtheunder1993 yeah, i don't really see this is such an ultra high gain amp as these guys demonstrate. no offense to these guitarists, but just an observation.

  • @overtheunder1993 what do you mean by sludge

  • @Ryanincambonia DOOM! Slow reeking putrescent metal from the depths of the human soul. Look up Eyehategod, Crowbar, and Electric Wizard.

  • @overtheunder1993

    I could agree with that. Really, they need King Buzzo to come in and play on it :D

  • Ibanez tube screamers are over-rated. Go with the Maxon OD9. Looks the same, and gives you twice the power, warmth, tonal range, and is less noizy

  • Why even have a clean channel section if its a Monsters of High Gain video? haha

  • this amp has wayyy more gain than i thought. and it sounds great as well. the gain is smooth and not all harsh and cheesy sounding. nice amp.

  • 2:57 You can really tell that Misha like's this amp and i don't blame him, Orange does one hell of a job

  • Love Misha´s chug-a-chug-chug!!

  • Comment removed

  • Now we need to hear it with 6L6s, KT88s, and variation on those power tubes. Just hear which power tube the cab likes the most.

  • I think orange makes the best amps!

  • 0:49 "You'll recognize this CAB right away..." This cab? Oh sorry. I though I was here for the orange head.

  • this is even more ballsy than the ubershall!

  • Misha > Ty

  • "you'll recognize this CAB right away, this is the orange HEAD" haha

  • I like the beginning when it shows the stills of their faces, like it's gonna be a fight to the death.

  • @GuardianOfFate12 if so obviously misha won.

  • @GuardianOfFate12 Yeah, and Misha clearly wins 13 out of 13 times...Misha basically comes in like "Ty take your Drop D playing ass out of here, and let me show you how to play"....then Misha plays what i'm assuming is Ab with his seven string and puts Ty to shame......flawless victory!

  • @GuardianOfFate12 Heck yea!

  • could they play any easier lil' riffs???? i think not

  • @johnstangg Oh yeah, they do but it's a HIGH GAIN AMP test and moreover it's a MONSTER OF HIGH GAIN AMP test ;) !

  • @johnstangg Well the video is just to give you an idea of the differences in each amp. But then again, it's better to do so in person. But if I can find it on fearedse's channel, it helps my decision making out a lot. lol

  • The only thing bad about this amp, is the spring reverb. I'd much rather have plate reverb.

  • @WarmothGuitarist

    Do you know what plate reverb is? You can't fit it inside an amp, n00b.

  • @twoheadedboy No shit... Can't imagine anyone fitting a large piece of sheetmetal into an amplifier. However, there are digital recreations of plate reverb being installed in Marshall amps. Sounds much better than that old spring shit. Spring reverb just sounds horrible.

    Oh and the word "n00b" has been worn out. Time for you geeks to come up with something else to try and degrade someone.

  • @WarmothGuitarist I agree with spring reverb sounding horrible... But that's what my reverb pedal is for..

  • @WarmothGuitarist

    If you prefer the sound of plate to spring, that's fine, but if you honestly think that including a digital plate reverb circuit in an amp is a reasonable alternative to real spring reverb, you are a n00b. There is a reason that Marshall primarily includes a digital reverb circuit in their lower-end amps. The amp has an effects loop. If you don't like spring reverb, put the reverb pedal of your choice in the loop.

  • @twoheadedboy You're still talking? You said your statement, I said mine. There's no reason to carry on a conversation about reverb, fuckhole.

  • GAWD DO SOMETHING IMPRESSIVE INSTEAD OF GENERIC CHUGGING.

  • @filteredwataaa thats wat demonstrates a high gain amp best, i mean anyone can solo on almost any amp but just playing some generic c5 power chords is what demonstrates an amps true potential, you can easily hear the tone of a amp when just playin chords and chugs but you can't really get a feel for the amp if you do impressive stuff, their not trying to show off, they're trying to give you a feel and tone clip of the amp.

  • Are they are running the amps naked ? or w/an overdrive or a dist pdl ? I don't know. The amps sound a little more alike than I expected them to. Nobody claims to run them w/o any fx or did I miss that comment? If so, sorry, I see a green plug on the cord end going into the guitars , but not green going into the amp inputs, at least they don't look the same to me here ... made me a little suspicious. I think Slipknot use this amp live, seen in a You Tube interview.

  • @topcatification slipknot does use them. no clue what pedals with them. owning an orange though, they sound best without pedals. especially without distortion pedals.

  • Are they are running the amps naked ? or w/an overdrive pedal , or perhaps a Metal Muff ? The amps sound more alike than I expected them to. They don't claim to run them w/o any fx or did I miss that comment? Also there is a green plug on the cord end going into the guitars , but not green going into the amp inputs, at least they don't look green to me here ...

    btw Slipknot uses this amp live and a Metal Muff on the board too. A good guitarist can make any amp shine by adjusting his style

  • Are they are running the amps naked ? an overdrive pedal , or perhaps a Metal Muff ? The amps sound more alike than I expected. They don't claim to run them w/o any help or did I miss that comment?

    Also there is a green plug on the cord end going into the axes , but not green going into the amp inputs, at least they don't look gre
