I recently bought a used OR15, and after having it for a bit, I've noticed that the Treble pot behaves differently than I would expect. Rather than the usual passive treble control, it instead cuts bass the higher you go acting as a high pass filter instead.

For those who have owned/played an OR15, is that just how this particular amp works, or does it sound like a faulty component?

I've included a picture of the inside, along with the schematic. I've tested C11, C12, & R17 which are all testing fine. I have not yet tested C13/C14 yet as I can't access the leads or pads until I remove the PCB.

Another quick question, since the filter caps are mounted the way they are and I cannot directly discharge them from this angle without flipping the board, is there another spot from the PCB I can do so? I do not want to attempt to remove the PCB until I know those caps are discharged, I do have the tool to do so, I'm just used to having access to caps directly.

I've bought and sold 5 different Orange amps trying to find the right one, and after overlooking the OR15 for so many years, I finally thought I'd give it a shot. And *holy* shit, yeah this amp really does it for me.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but don't overlook this little power house.

I found this in a box of pedals that I had forgotten about, I saw it on eBay years ago for dirt cheap, though now I can't seem to find it or the others in the series anywhere online for sale.

​

I'm really glad I found it though, because I didn't realize how good it sounds. I had assumed when purchasing it that it was just another TS clone and tried using it like one to boost my distorted amp, and didn't like the sound of it.

​

Now years later I'm running it into a clean Fender-style amp and it's heavy. The color really matches the sound, it's the most Orange amp-like pedal I've played. Beefy, high gain, and gets fuzzy at max gain. The mode switch adds more dirt when pressed.

​

There were others in the series, both the Deep Red and Purple Blue distortions, the Light Purple Delay, and the Hot Pink Boost (I hope I remembered those right)

​

All I can find is that they were made by SKS Audio in Australia as a budget line, but that's the most I can find on them. Does anyone else here know much about them, or if they can still be purchased anywhere? I'd love to eventually collect them all if possible.

It's been many years since I've really tried pixel art, so I'm pretty rusty. I've been really into Fire Emblem lately and got inspired to try making a FE GBA style portrait of one of the new characters from the next Fire Emblem. Some parts I like, like the armor and the pallette, but something about the face is really bothering me. The hair is alright, but not the best, but doesn't bother me like the face does. What can I do to improve on this?
