haha, YOU could make a dummy load. I could burn my fingers, swear a lot, certainly break my amp and possibly burn my home to the ground.
One of the reasons I'm leaning towards the Hotone thing. All solid state

I'll see if I get a response from Joyo about weather I can use the BlueJay without a cab, the the choice will be just between the BlueJay and the Terror Stamp. I know I like the tone of the BlueJay I'll see if the Stamp does something useful now.
Good point. I discussing weathering a lot at work. I rarely write whether.
no you shouldn't care. for something like this it's not worth worrying about.
Cheers, that is actually useful. At the moment I think I'm leaning towards the Orange as I think it'll have use to me over and above being something to mess about with in the evening. Although I do still want a small Fender sound.Greg_L wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 10:57 amno you shouldn't care. for something like this it's not worth worrying about.
in a very general nutshell...class ab is an analog push/pull output arrangement that splits the signal into amplified halves. tube and ss amps have used this arrangement for decades. class d uses digital wizardry to turn the signal into an on/off pulse and then time based modulation and filters turn it back into an audio signal at the output. class d can be very small and very efficient but it's sound reproduction isn't all that great.
that's not really true anymore.
well there ya go. i dont know much about class d cuz it hasnt really trickled into the guitar amp world yet.
I doubt very much you will get anything remotely fenderish out of an Orange product. However, tone is in the hands so they say so i may eat crow on that. Orange can do amazing cleans, it's just not fender clean. Orange cleans are sturdy tight and still thick-ish. It's very doubtful you will be able to muscle in the loose vibe of a fender clean out of that Stamp. Again, tone is in the hands.

yeah ..... it's all over the bass world though because of the high power/low weight thing.
Arghhhhh!!!!! Had a long argument in HR about this and I was certainly in the minority. While hands do contribute to tone, it won’t make an Orange sound like a Fender.WhiskeyJack wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 12:45 pmHowever, tone is in the hands so they say so i may eat crow on that.
yeah, that 'tone is in the hands' is bullshit ..... it's just a verbal meme.CrowsofFritz wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 2:40 pmArghhhhh!!!!!

i think this is true. the amp matters, but how you set it and how you play it makes a big difference too. i 100% believe we'd all sound different plugged into the same setup.WhiskeyJack wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 3:03 pm In the context i mean by tone is in the hands, I mean how it's all in how a person can dial in an amp doubled down on top playing stuyle. It's sort of a multi part equation.
I can make you all a 100 dollar bet right now that i could give my AD30 to Greg and he'd make it sound like a total different amp than what i am used to. Same with Lt.Boob or RayC. We could play hot potato with that same amp and i am betting while it would have all the smatterings and voicings of an Orange, we'd all dial it in and make it different tonally.
The tone hands are directed by ears, skill, and personal preference. We'd all get different tones out of the same amp.
I’d argue the style would be different far more than the tone would be. That’s usually what people mean. The style is different, and yes, the style contributes to the overall sound immensely, but it’s not toan.WhiskeyJack wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 3:03 pm In the context i mean by tone is in the hands, I mean how it's all in how a person can dial in an amp doubled down on top playing stuyle.
