It's very Orangey, really close to their valve amp thing. Loud.
If you're looking for exact Fendery cleans, it's not for you imho. Especially if you're not in a hurry for an amp. Maybe you should try those new Beta Leads.
Yeah, I was just kind of toying with the idea. Cool to hear that it's so close to other amps in their catalog, I could see myself rocking an Orange one day. I like sludgey sounds. My dream setup would be a Fender-y clean amp handling the high end and reverb stuff, paired with something that could turn the lower frequencies into sludge.
And on the subject, I
have been looking into those Sunns! My Music Man does double duty as a bass amp too, so I wouldn't mind owning the Beta Bass. I hear that the originals are pretty much the same between regular Lead and Bass, with bass only having more low end. I don't know how true that is, but could be cool to run my Jaguar into a bass-heavy amp with heaps of fuzz.
...but I'm curious, is the Beta Lead then closer to Fenders in terms of their frequency content and clean sounds? I know Sunn made PA stuff, so it would track that their amps could do high-headroom, broad frequency-spectrum stuff. I just know them from their distortion sounds. Who doesn't!
The Sunns (while kinda affordable for what they are) are still somewhat out of my price point atm and the attraction to the Orange came from its price. You can get them for 300-400€ used where I live, so that was what drew me towards them.
