In owners' own words

“The Orange is kind of a one trick pony. It’s a good trick, but still. The distortion tones are dark and sludgy. I had one for a hot minute but quickly got tired of it.”
— fatherbowie on Reddit

“The 35RT looks cool and sounds good at moderate volume but if you crank it it doesn’t sound great.”
— Jocthedawg on Reddit

“It does get dirtier, but still not nearly as distorted as I like. Hardly gets a rock tone.”
— sa-steve-va on Reddit

“Clean sounds great, but the gain is too fizzy sounding.”
— thegaindeli on Marshall Amp Forum
