Full Retube Kits for the Orange AD30TC and AD30HTC Amps.
The Orange AD30TC and AD30HTC. Regardless of your style and application we have you covered!
All of our Orange AD30TC and AD30HTC full Retube Kits are designed specifically for these amps. Every kit is configured to provide a specific sound/experience.
The default power tubes for all of our Orange AD30TC and AD30HTC kits are the JJ EL84’s. However you can use the Power Tube drop down to select the JJ EL844’s. The JJ EL84’s will on average maintain the OEM headroom/breakpoint for the output stage. The JJ EL844’s will drop the output power around 25% lowering the power tube breakup point.
These amps are cathode biased, there is no bias adjustment to be made. The amount of clean headroom you’ll get from the power section is somewhat dictated by the grade of power tube used. A cooler grade of EL84’s will give you more clean headroom, whereas a warmer grade will give you earlier breakup. If you order online, leave us a note in the comments section letting us know your headroom preference (max headroom, middle of the road or early breakup).
The Standard Retube Kit is as close to OEM as possible. Maintaining the amps stock level of headroom and gain while providing a warm but even handed overall sound. The kit includes one matched quad of JJ EL84’s by default, one GZ34 Rectifier tube, two Balanced JJ ECC83S’s for the phase inverters (V3 – V4, farthest from the input jack) and two Standard JJ ECC83S’s for V1 – V2.
The Gold Pin Retube Kit uses the JJ ECC83S Gold Pin variants to provide a smoother, creamier, and more singing overall sound. This option is less aggressive and has less “teeth” when driven hard. If you like a classic raunchy gritty overdriven tone, we recommend looking elsewhere… If sweet, open, and more refined is what you’re after this kit will do it. The kit includes one matched quad of JJ EL84’s by default, one GZ34 Rectifier tube, two Balanced JJ Gold Pin ECC83S’s for the phase inverters (V3 – V4, farthest from the input jack) and two Standard JJ Gold Pin ECC83S’s for V1 – V2.
The High Gain Retube Kit uses our Handpicked High Gain selected JJ ECC83S’s. If you’re looking for maximum crunch and grind this is where you want to be. Sonically this setup is very similar to our Standard Retube Kit but with a little extra gain on tap. The kit includes one matched quad of JJ EL84’s by default, one GZ34 Rectifier tube, two High Gain Balanced JJ ECC83S’s for the phase inverters (V3 – V4, farthest from the input jack), and two High Gain JJ ECC83S’s for V1 – V2.
The Normal Clean – High Gain Lead kit The kit includes one matched quad of JJ EL84’s by default, one GZ34 Rectifier tube, a standard ECC83s in V1 and a Balanced ECC83S for the phase inverter in V3 to maintain the stock gain. For channel 2 we use a Handpicked High Gain ECC83S for V2 and High Gain Balanced ECC83S for the phase inverter inV4 to get maximum gain.
The SRV Retube Kit uses the JJ 5751 in the V1 position. The JJ 5751 is a purpose built low gain 12AX7/ECC83 substitute. Stevie famously used these to eek out a little extra clean headroom, and you can too. Expect about a 25% reduction in gain, which is like having an extra click on the dial before breakup sets in. Great for clean players and pedal users. Channel 2 is left as is with plenty of gain. The kit includes one matched quad of JJ EL84’s by default, one GZ34 Rectifier tube, two Balanced JJ ECC83S’s for the phase inverters (V3 – V4, farthest from the input jack), one Standard ECC83S for V2 and one Standard JJ 5751 for V1 (closest to input jack).
The Gold Pin SRV Retube Kit uses the Gold Pin tubes for a smoother richer tone. Channel 2 is left as is for plenty of smooth gain. The kit includes one matched quad of JJ EL84’s by default, one GZ34 Rectifier tube, two Balanced Gold Pin JJ ECC83S’s for the phase inverters (V3 – V4, farthest from the input jack), One Standard Gold Pin ECC83S for V2 and one Standard Gold Pin JJ 5751 for V1 (closest to input jack).
The ECC803 V1 Retube Kit uses the Long Plate JJ ECC803S in the V1 position. The JJ ECC803S’s are a little lower in gain than the ECC83S and have a very fat mid and a little hotter high end which gives a very vintage tone with lots of chime which is great for clean and moderate gain. Channel 2 is again left as is with the short plate tubes. The kit includes one matched quad of JJ EL84’s by default, one GZ34 Rectifier tube, two Balanced JJ ECC83S’s for the phase inverters (V3 – V4, farthest from the input jack), one Standard ECC83S for V2 and one Standard Long Plate JJ ECC803S for V1 (closest to input jack).
The Gold Pin ECC803S V1 Retube Kit uses the Gold Pin tubes for a smoother richer tone. Channel 2 is again left as is with the short plate Gold Pin tubes. The kit includes one matched quad of JJ EL84’s by default, one GZ34 Rectifier tube, two Balanced Gold Pin JJ ECC83S’s for the phase inverters (V3 – V4, farthest from the input jack), one Standard Gold Pin ECC83S for V2 and one Standard Long Plate Gold Pin JJ ECC803S for V1 (closest to input jack).
