Your general opinion of this product.
I have yet to play and have more articulation and touch response, than on a rockerverb 50 ....(MKI)....everything from metal that will make your face bleed to pristine cleans and everything in between. All from the dirty channel.......! All you need to do is roll the guitars volume back and you get whatever you need.

I could hardly get past the clean channel it sounded so warm, full an the harmonics are spectacular. Most people rave about the dirty channel but I use a boss metal zone on the clean and it sounds like a dream, even at low volumes played through a fender with single coil pu's
Finish

It's orange what can I say....Looks hot and definitely different in appearance. Layout is straight forward,,,no confusion there.

Best amp ever

This amp is worth every penny. It is the sturdiest piece of equipment I have ever owned, as well as being the best sounding. I've had no problems with it at all at this point.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I haven't had it too long but this amp is built to last. The wood casing is strong as all get out and none of the switches or knobs feel cheap.

This amp is a monster, from how it's built to the tones inside.

It's an amp so this won't apply.
Tone

The clean channel was bright and very smooth, lots of clarity in the mid range which is nice. The dirty channel is the best I've ever heard, it can go from classic ac/dc tones to all out metal distortion. You'll love the gain knob on the dirty channel, every slight touch changes your entire tone. It's excellent.

It's an orange, enough said. These things are known for their beautiful looks.

Rockerverb 50!

This thing is a brick. The components seems to be well-laid-out inside, and the wood cabinet is thiiick. The PC board seems to be thick and well-buffered from the tubes, so I'm not worried about a meltdown.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I have only had this amp for a few weeks, but it gives the impression of being built like a tank. Definitely feels more solid than the Marshalls and Peaveys I've owned.
General
Your general opinion of this product.
Orange has been making a comeback in recent years, and this amp ably demonstrates why.

The damping switch really helps this beast go from loose, vintage-style response to tighter, modern-style response. The tone controls are not wildly responsive, but definitely make a noticeable difference. The clean channel's tone controls are a little weird, though in my opinion, as moving each does different things to the mids that sometimes seems hard to control.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
This amp is dark. It can get some cut, but it definitely favors the mids and bass frequencies. Overdrive is thick and fuzzy, and has a wide feeling. The cleans are full-bodied and have a lot of sparkle. Cranked, this thing is heaven.
Finish

Tolex is applied well, with no bumps, impressions, are loose spots. Plus, it's Orange! The color helps it sound better!
Action
How was the action out of the box?
As with all tube amps, the tubes needed to burn in a little, but I was immediately impressed by the variety of cool tones I got within seconds of switching it one.
