Actually, I'm living in Sweden and Orange amps seems rare in the music shops around here but I had the chance to try an Orange AD30 at a Denmark Street shop a few years ago, and it sounded beautiful. I think the reason that people seem to associate them with rock music is because they have very much distortion. Being a bluesplayer myself I also seem to go for a nice mellow overdriven tone, instead of tons of gain.. the playing seems to loose it's character with too much distortion.

What kind of amps did you and Danny use on the Kiln House tour?

I don't remember. But probably Fender. Never been happy with them, really. Too brittle or something, can't explain it. It was a young girl music shop assistant who turned me onto the new Orange amp in Lucerne. She heard me playing through a Fender De Ville, saw I wasn't happy, and said she had the perfect amp for what I was trying to do ... an Orange! I said 'No way'. She persuaded me to try it (an AD 15). And I was sold.
