Robert. First off I'm drinking wine at a craft festival on an 85 degree day. B, I wish you were here.

The guy is not answering my emails. The trade might not go through 
And I will post the smirky comment (that’s not an Orange)
ECC823 fixes that in the DSL40C
There's absolutely nothing wrong with those vintage amps...
Ditto, Man....I'm drinking Starbuck's Triple Shots in the studio at a chilly 66°F room temperature...wish you could come and hang!!!!
Here's my observations on the Origin.
They are a very loud, clean amp. With 'boost' engaged, it still doesn't produce a lot of gain. It has a very vintage, early rock n roll type of tone...along the lines of Chuck Berry or B.B. King.
The nice thing about the amp is that it allows you to use pedals to exploit its best qualities.
Listen to my clip of my initial road test on this amp. With master volume on 7-8, and sitting close enough to the rig to reach put and touch it, I have zero feedback and that's without rolling the volume off...just let go of the guitar.

Ummm…yeah…it sort of is common knowledge…
But, you’re a very uncommon gentleman, so you have a pass!
As a matter of fact, some folks will run two volume pedals - one going into the amp input and another in the effects loop. The volume pedal going into the amp input will have the same effect as turning down your guitar’s volume, but allows you to do so without moving your picking hand from playing position.
Effects can have different results depending on whether you use them in the loop or the input. Running tandem EQ is another thing you’ll often see - one in the loop and one at the amp input.
Just more fun stuff….
