While at it with Orange amps. Nasty metallic buzz like mains powered

Mains Tx central bar of an outer "E" lamination loose. Simple enough to

with once you know the cause. Remove the matching "I" to drible lacquer

both
sides. The wiring bobbin is loose within the iron laminations block, so
plenty of space to allow a lamination to break away. Will also push some
silicone rubber sheet in there to avoid re-occurance hopefully.


They sound like absolute garbage. Were Orange amps ever any good?

The other notorious Orange problem - intermittant loss of one channel,
whether by sw on front or footswitch.
Although they use latching 1/4 inch spade connectors, just because they will
not dislodge, does not necessarily mean they retain electrical connection.
