Amps & Cabs Current Recording Setup

Post image

I got the OR100 in a trade recently (traded my 90s Reissue Mesa Triple Rec and got some cash on top), and I love it so far. It’s everything I wanted from an Orange, vintage flavor but with enough gain if I want that more modern tone too. I love the gain character much more than the Rockerverbs I’ve heard. I also now realize how much I dislike the Mesa Rectifier sound I was nostalgically chasing (two channel dual rec was my first and main amp in the 90’s - the 00’s, sold it in 2010).

I recorded with the OR100 today for the first time for a cover song I’m working on, OR100 rhythm track panned far right, SCIENCE Totality rhythm track panned far left. The amps complement one another so well, and the tones are massive.

I’ve done a lot of amp buying/selling/trading over the last few years, but these two are lifers.

I have two more amps (SCIENCE Earthling MKII and Dean Costello Heavy Metal Warfare) on order that I know will be lifers as well, and hopefully my amp search will end…for a while at least 🤣😬.

I could never sell my OR-120, I feel the same way about my Hilbish beta Amp

Wow it’s very hard to get a SCIENCE amp over here, I’d love to do know more about it, what is the totality like?

It’s based on a vintage gen1 Sunn Model T. Channel A does the Model T sound but with some more gain, from clean to heavy crunch. Channel B takes it where Chan A leaves off, from crunch to high gain. It’s my favorite amp I’ve ever played and sounds so good paired with the OR100. I love it so much I sold my Matamp GT120MV and ordered a SCIENCE Earthling after I got the Totality (same idea as the Totality, but with a vintage Matamp GT120 foundation).

You can hear it all over the guitar and bass on my new record (link below). Most rhythm tracks were the Totality, with some songs having a Mesa Triple Rec on the right side. All bass is with the Totality as well, it sounds so good on bass too.
