TH30H : Perfect for what I need.

I play in a pop-punk/punk-rock band and this perfect for me. I don't need to spend hundreds upon hundreds on higher spec products in the Orange line, as this offers exactly what I need.

It delivers that perfect punchy dirty noise I need as a rhythm guitarist. The twin channel suffice in offer that nice balance in the music I play for the few clean parts in songs. Though this lacks any built in effects such as reverb etc, this is easily customisable with a few pedals here and there that would set you back even more should you decide you wanted a head with these features build in.

The ability to control the output on the amp as well makes it ideal for recording demos and as well as full studio tracks.

From an amateur perspective getting into big hardware, I would recommend the TH30 as it will definitely see you through. It also asks a gateway to tube driven Orange products. Perhaps later down the line I may look at the more expensive end of the chain. For now though, I am more than content with this amp.
