Hi guys, It's been a while :wink: Really cool to see that this is still going! Thanks to lockbody for taking the helm :) I'm still kicking, have been away at uni though and just couldn't find the time for much forum surfing. Still rocking the orange DC-5. Just ordering a new set of preamp...

Hi guys, This is a Gibson SG-3 Guitar of the week model. Comes in Fireburst with 3 Gibson Blade single coils. Only 400 of these were ever made. Comes complete with battle scars from gigging - a few surface scratches, a nick on the top of the headstock and a nick in the pickguard but other...

Hi guys. After much deliberation I'm putting my beloved DC-5 up for sale. I recently retolexed it in orange. The pictures below show that it's almost exactly the same tolex as used on Orange amps. Same colour, but a slightly different basketweave texture. I've done a good job, but it's not 100%...

Yeah man i'm using my DC-5 in stereo with an Orange Rocker 30 and a PPC112. The V30 in the PPC sounds awesome mixed with the C90 in my DC-5! Here's a couple of pics - I retolexed the DC-5 to match cos I'm odd like that :lol: Orange make great stuff. The Rocker 30 is a really nice amp...

I've been wondering this for some time. It does get brighter at gig levels but I'd like a little more sparkle and clarity. My preamp tubes have never been changed...ever :shock: Is it worth my while buying a couple of new preamp tubes and testing them in different positions or is this a rare...

Piece of work? Piece of s**t more like! People like this ought to be publically flogged! :evil:

Wow great job gts! I found it hard work when i retolexed my DC-5, especially the slanted parts. You must have had a lot of practice man cos that thing is perfect! 8)

Hi guys I'm looking for a dual footswitch for reverb and GEQ for my DC-5. If anyone would like a bit of cash for one PM me. Cheers :)

Hehe thanks Randy, yeah i did it myself :) And yeah that is a pretty funny coincidence! :lol: You'll find that there are several DC gurus around here but I think it's fair to say that Monsta-Tone is one of the masters! I still think it's amazing what an underrated amp the DC-5 is. The cleans...

Thanks man :D The DC-5 looked like the ugly duckling before sat next to the Orange so I gave it a little attention! Well also I figured if you'd been wearing the same clothes for nearly 20 years you'd want a change :lol: I really think it sounds better now. It's a more...juicy tone. A little...

Please welcome Monsta-Tone, member #0037! Haha I get some very funny looks when we play live with this setup - :lol:

EL34s in my DC-5? Hmmmmm.......... :shock:

Member list updated. Sorry I haven't been around for a while guys, I've been away on top secret business! I'll be sticking round for a while now though 8) Could anyone who would like a membership or who's asked for a membership and hasn't received one yet please PM me? That way it just...

Hi guys, We all know how much i love my DC-5 :D Recently though i can't dial in an overdrive sound i like. No matter what i do i can't seem to stop the amp becoming mushy even at low gain settings. I currently like to play with the gain around 4-6, quite a lot of low end and mids on about...

How loud are you playing it? You'll probably find that the tone controls are more sensitive at higher volumes :)
