Why still?!

Post by Stevem »

The novelty has long , no make that very long since worn off to the point that to me it’s stupid that Orange still does this symbol stuff on there control panels, do they really still think it’s a selling point?

Anyone else feel the same?

Maybe they should focus more on not biasing EL84s so hot that it does this to connectors!

I can't help but feeling nostalgic by seeing those faceplates. Some claim that the elders will have to die for some things to change... :?

Obvious error in the symbology forces me to agree. They correctly used the G clef for treble and F clef for bass. They they chose some weird nonsense, two arrows pointing at each other, for the mid? Are they even musicians? The obvious choice is the C clef (alto clef.) I know it is not commonly seen, unless, of course, you play viola. Anyone who reads music would be aware of it. It is not something obscure.

Orange probably figgers if we still use arcane tube amps we must be suckers for every anachronism.
