It should be fine to run off the slave out on the Orange. Probably an about right price for a slave since they aren't very popular, but it is fully serviced and from a shop. I totally want it though.[/quote] You my good man are music to a nail biting lads ears haha, Ive been mulling over this for aaaages! I deffo want it for sure, its in good nick all round no tears or marks and no damage on the front or rear panels, new valves in it, only thing I noticed was no white dot on the volume knob haha

Hi All the title says it all really. A guy who has just refurbed his guitar shop in my home town and stocks mainly Matamp and some Orange gear has a 1970's Orange OR120 Slave Unit for sale just been fully serviced and rebuilt by Matamp so a bit of a bastard child, still though my main question is, will it run with my AD200b and is his asking price of £490-£450 a fair estimate? Thanks in advance!

I've got my amp in a flight case and it's defintely a two man lift. Worth it 100%.[/quote] So true, worth every aceing muscle haha, but still Im not finished, got my eye on a Orange OR120 Slave Unit for sale in my town, a new guitar shop stocking Matamp is selling it (£450) it has just been serviced and re-built by Matamp so Its a little bit of a bastard child but if you like the stoner grooves you gotta run hot haha and that why I want it, still waiting for a few people to get back to me about it actually..... It will be fully compatible with the AD200b wont it?

[quote name='Clarky' post='853040' date='May 31 2010, 10:03 PM']Very nice! The best looking valve amp stack IMHO. Would love one of these .... if I had a stronger back or a roadie![/quote] Haha Im only 24 and god is it Heavy the 1x15 aint to bad but the 4x10 and Head are heavy as hell, I usually leave the 4x10 at practice, keep the 1x15 at home, and just ferry the head between Home and Practice, make more sense really. Still though was a little bit of a bargain the full rig!

Had these a couple of week now, this is the first time Ive got around to playing with both cabs so took a few snappies on my phone, loud is the only word for it!

[quote name='woodyratm' post='783659' date='Mar 23 2010, 04:47 PM']Regarding the FF - Can it do that insane sorta feedbacky sound? I spoke to Max at sfx and we discussed building one that would work at bass freqs. If i can make space on the board once its tidied then i might give it a go and see.[/quote] Best bet would be to go for a Wooly Mammoth for that horrible feedback sound, the Fuzz Facorty does give a nice drone feedback, but the Wooly Mammoth is just evil!

[quote name='bobbass4k' post='783621' date='Mar 23 2010, 04:15 PM']Doesn't mean it's not fun, I played with one and it reminded me of the first time i used a whammy ( i spent about 10 minutes just making woo-woo noises), I might buy one if i've got some cash to throw around[/quote] Yeh I mean it does keep alot of low end, but it does really depend on how you have it setup, keep the Gate, Copm and Drive past the 12 o'clock position with the stab at about 9 o'clock and your laughing! But I really love the Holystain, if your looking for a neat little mulit effect which packs a punch I'd sanp it up, only paid about £35 for it as well, if your into atmospheric sounds its a killer!

[quote name='cheddatom' post='783619' date='Mar 23 2010, 04:13 PM']I would have thought the FF would destroy your low end. Can you do sound clips?[/quote] Not really got a rubbish phone that is pants for recordings, we have a 16 track at practice so Ill put down a sound clip on their through the week and get it up on youtube, so give me a while and hopefully you shall recieve!

[quote name='cheddatom' post='783596' date='Mar 23 2010, 03:57 PM']Do you not loose low end with the Fuzz Factory? EDIT: What do you use the EHX Holy Stain for?[/quote] Heyyy, I tend to use the Fuzz Factory and Phase 90 together, gives a very very Evil sound, Holy stain is actually pretty fun, I use it for either Room reverb clean or with Fuzz which is also packed in the pedal with a dark tone. I Play alot of Doom/Drone stuff as well as my main band Playing desert rock type of stuff, I can just get some nice fuzzy goodness!

Heres my board, only started it a few weeks ago, using a Behringer PB1000 Boss Chromatic Tuner ZVEX Fuzz Factory MXR Phase 90 Boss Gynamic Wah AW-3 Boss Fuzz FZ-5 EHX Bass Big Muff Pi EHX Holy Stain Soon to be added, EHX Q-Tron, Zvex Wooly Mammoth & Dunlop Cry Baby Basses: Squier Jazz Vintage Modified in C#, Fender Mex '70s Jazz Bass Amp: Ashdown MAG300 Combo with 2x10
