a power amp, and a guitar amp, all at the same
time. Its recording output also includes speaker
cab simulation for very convincing direct tones.
These features make the AMT Electronics O2 a
highly useful recording and gigging companion
for the guitarist that wants big, burly Orange
tones, but doesn’t want to lug around a big,
burly Orange stack to get them.
Orange’s tube amps will likely never have the
level of mass appeal that Fender and Marshall
amps have achieved, but their unique sonic
footprint brings something to the table that no
other amplifier can achieve, and the company
itself has certainly cultivated a very distinct
niche for itself among guitarists that like to do
things a little differently. Players that are all-in
on the Orange thang should probably just buy
one of the company’s many fine amplifiers, but
for everyone else, there are a number of pedals
that can satisfyingly evoke the aura of Orange
with a much smaller investment, as well as less
heavy lifting.
