Nails the Orange Character

I've been looking for a backup option for my 1976 OR80--in case it craps out live etc. I've got the Sunkeeper set up into a KSR PA50 power amp with a buffer pedal to impedance match. It works like a charm!

Great service from both Tubesteader and Deluxe when I had some issues which we diagnosed as impedance mismatch on some of my power amps, fixed very simply with a buffer.
