Good combo amp to pair with Orange Crush 35rt for wet/dry? (lemmy.world)

There's the obvious idea of a second 35rt. But I'm curious what other choices y'all might make. I like both the clean and dirty channels so please also indicate which one you'd set up as wet or dry.

Fender-type amps have great clean sounds, so something like a Twin Reverb world be great for that.

The Twin is a heavy-ass piece of gear, though, so by at your own risk. One of the smaller models might work as well, but I've no experience on those. A Vox AC30 could be nice as well.

Yeah a classic Fender go well for wet side, with wet effects already onboard the amp. More concerned about convincing the Baroness about the price tag on something like that than the weight though! 😅

Haha that's nothing I can help you with. Good luck brother!

You could maybe try something on the other end of the spectrum like a jazz chorus, send the dry signal to the orange

What kind of sounds are you after and what pedals are you using?

Don't really have a specific sound I'm after, just seeing so many players on TPS praising wet dry I'm interested in it. Current board is this:

I usually have a Carcosa where the Q-Tron is but I just got the Q-Tron so I'm trying it out there. Need to do some finagling with the power management and try and get things on a little tighter to get the Carcosa back in the lineup.

Nice, looks like you have a bit of everything there! I stick by my original idea then, I've always found orange amps to be quite dark overall and grungy, seems best to use this for your 'dry' and use a pedal platform amp for the wet. There's obviously loads of options out there for that, I've always been pretty partial to fender tube amps for pedals but it depends on so much... As a starter maybe something like a fender champ?
