Orange AD-5 Tube 5-Watt Guitar Amplifier

Hello,

I'm selling my 2008 Orange AD-5 1x10" combo guitar amp in mint condition. I bought it in 2021 from a Croatian store that still had one - a customer bought it, opened it and decided to return it, so it was absolutely brand new, with no scratches or any signs of wear. I swapped the tubes right away - Google said that JJ Electronics were the best choice for this amp, so I decided to go for those since I didn't know when the tubes were last changed. Since I've owned it, the amp has been played for maybe 10 hours in total, with volume knob not being turned to more than 2. The only reason I'm selling the amp is that I don't really play guitar loudly anymore, I prefer to play via a Focusrite audio interface and a computer through headphones, so I feel like the amp is just sitting around not being used like it should.

It is a very unique amp - one of the few truly class-A tube amps. It is very, very loud - the class-A nature of the amp allows it to quadruple the amount of watts, so the amp acts approximately as a 15/20-watt amp. It sounds very clear, I've played it these past few days and was really surprised how clean it sounds when you put a little dirt on it and play chords. If you plan on playing anything modern, this amp won't really do it to be honest - classic rock, indie and something similar will sound great though. This amp is somewhat of a predecessor of the Tiny Terror series.

There isn't a lot info about this amp online, but it seems like the AD-5 was made only in 3 runs:

1999 - there were only 64 AD-5 custom shop units made

2003 - there were about 150 made

2008 - unknown how many were made, probably way more than in the previous two runs, but still not a lot

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Offers are welcome.
