This was my favorite interview in the entire series. I told Fluff ahead of time that I was going to be a total dick to him. He loved the idea and played along well. However, while we were filming it dawned on me that without some sort of resolution I’d end up just coming across as an inconsiderate ass, so I suggested that at some point I’d realize he was actually an important YouTube influencer and try to backtrack.
I still can’t figure out why we shake hands so hard that we explode. You’d have to ask the editor about that one. – Alex

“I’ve had the same two Rockerverb MKII 100 heads and cabs since 2011. Not once have I had any problems with my Orange gear. I’ve never even blown a fuse or a speaker. My band, Evanescence, tours all over the world, playing in different climates from cold and dry to hot and wet. My gear has been shipped back and forth across the Atlantic many times, been in cargo holds in the belly of airplanes across the pacific and always performs when the time comes. It’s more reliable than just about every piece of gear that I’ve ever had!!!” Troy McLawhorn of Evanescence
“My Orange Rockerverb 50 mkIII has been all over the country, dropped, had beer spilt on it, kicked, plugged into shady power outlets and is still here to break my pinkie toe when I accidentally kick it in the studio!” Ryan “Fluff” Bruce (Guitar Influencer)
“I’ve been touring with the same head and cab for over 800 shows with Hero Jr. and I’ve never had [knock on Orange wood] a problem. My rig sounds as killer as it did when it came out of the box 7 years ago.” Ken Rose of Hero Jr.
“These new Oranges have been the most road worthy amps I’ve ever known. I started using an OR 100 and Rockerverb 100 in 2015. The only thing that took out the OR 100 was playing it in 2 different rainstorms. It survived a brutal rainstorm at Voodoo Fest in New Orleans but another storm in New Jersey killed it. The Rockerverb is still going strong 4 years later.” Tim Sult of Clutch
“I use the AD200 MK3 head and OCB410 cabinet, an absolute unit!!! The tone I get from the amp is unreal, depending on the artist I’m playing for I can change it up between a warm vinyl like tone or beef it up so that the bass is absolutely pounding!” Mandy Clarke of KT Tunstall
“My Terror Bass amps have been absolutely rock solid since I
got them. I’ve never had a single problem. The same was true when I was playing
the AD200B heads. Despite being 200 watts of sheer tube-destroying power, they
never once needed repair work. You can drop them from waist height and they
always survive (which has, thanks to various stagehands, happened more than
once unfortunately).” Glenn Hughes
