I don't think the OR15 has a Clean channel per say... looks like a single channel amp to me.... that being said a friend of mine got one for his studio and loves it... just a quick look on Musicians Friend and I see the OR15 is $699 and the Dual Terror is $899, I don't know what the prices are like in the UK but to me it may be worth the extra $200 to get the Dual Terror, since you have the added flexibility of the 30/15/7 watt settings plus now you can get two channels...

Okay clean sound then

Yeah, the only thing is I want to move away from the terror type sounds since my other guitarist uses it. The OR has a better EQ system on it, but your advice is spot on I guess!

Also, what is the difference between a TH30 and a Dual terror? I've tried the TH30, but as far as I am aware the dirt channel is based on the terror series isn't it?

That lil ampeg sounded KICKASS in that 2nd video, (Very nice raunchy tones) i would love to play one and hear more demos
I had a Orange TH 30 and it was 'ok' to my ears, (not bad) but just left me wanting more, it was a slightly more modern/tighter Orange tone - to be honest i may not have spent enough time with it. I also had the Orange Dual Terror but that lack of a effects loop was not good for me, tonally it was a nice sounding amp (2 ch) the clean was nice + typical Orange OD but i just needed that damn loop
I played a Orange OR 15 recently and REALLY liked the amp, it was nice and also had the loop i wanted. A cross between a TT and a TH tone
That Ampeg sounds very nice, i am now interested myself
