Just meant to be -for now
after months of trying to sell my amp head via TM and FB marketplace to no avail have decided maybe it’s not meant for another
Hooked her up to a new to me old Rockit 1x12 with a Hiwatt speaker and realised maybe it’s my forever (for now)amp
Been through several amps in the last few years and was wanting to find another of my faves..orange Rocker 30,,,
New cab means discovering new tones ….happy days

Re: Just meant to be -for now
Their website being very 2006 doesn't help matters. I went looking for info on the amp and it's very scarce. In the end I chatted with Makos (amp builder) on Facebook about the amp and what it was designed to do. He said it was very tight and had a more British style thing going on, and it was a design about 10 years old that had since been changed/refined but yours had some extra add-ons like the shine push/pull that weren't standard.
Maybe it's destiny you're meant to have it. I bet it'd be great through a decent 2x12.

Re: Just meant to be -for now
Very apt description,,, it’s a fantastic amp and it would be great to see more Kaosamp builds around, the stuff on his FB page is fantastic love the aesthetic. I would almost liken it to a pushed plexi tone.NippleWrestler wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 8:04 am Their website being very 2006 doesn't help matters.

Totally agree about the 2x12 and will definitely look for one in the future when budget allows

Re: Just meant to be -for now
I kept looking at that amp, it's interesting and probably worth hanging on to. Its probably better made than the Orange amps too. Modding it to match your needs would also be easy due to its construction.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Re: Just meant to be -for now
I'll dig out my photos of when I got it
It was in a sorry state after it's courier mishap
Saying that it was red when I had it
Found them

Re: Just meant to be -for now
If you are ever in West Auckland more than happy to let you have a play on the amp….would seem the right thing to do if karma is a true thing
