Not only as a plugin, but also in reality one of my all time favorite amps.
Typical Orange sounds, but - if necessary- also much hotter.
Beautiful organically and naturally sounding (British) clean sounds, certainly nothing for Fender clean fans, but with a wonderful bluesy, even jazzy character. There is a reason, why players like Ike Turner or Raphael Saadiq also played/play Orange amps and they certainly are no Rock or Metal players.
Even more interesting is the Dirty channel, classic Orange crunch and overdrive tones of course, but even much more gain, if wished, with a very unique, beefy, but still aggressive, vivid character and wonderful, intense (British) harmonics. A completely different player in the game, without any similarities with amps from competitors.
A unique class of it's own very much instead. The plugin offers exactly this character wonderful and very authentically.
Some players will like exactly this sound, others will not at all. No compromises here possible.
This amp really rocks.
A lot of good sounding, professionally miked cabinet IR's, matching perfectly well to this amp are included (V30, G12K-100, G12M-25, Alnico Blue, G12M-65 CB) and if they are not enough, you can decativate this section and use external IR's instead too. Also the typical additional features of all Brainworx amp plugins in the fx section even expand the sonic fine tuning possibilities.
For me the most naturally and most authentically sounding Orange amp plugin ever.
Also one of my Brainworx favorites.
My only complaint is, that the spring reverb is missing. Maybe also an upgrade to the MK. III version would be nice. Nevertheless awesome sounds, no doubt.
A great alternative for players, who do not really like the sound of a Rectifier, SLO, VH-4 or XTC, whyever and look for wonderful British voiced top notch high-gain sounds.
