Does the amp come with distortion?

No. My son says it came with drive. It's a great starter amp though. We upgraded to a Fender Mustang amp for all the bells and whistles. The guitar itself is really pretty good!

No, power if not there..It is not a very powerful amp at all. I sold it..Very disappointed..

I am really impressed with this amp, but it does not have a very heavy overdrive/distortion channel. If you want to play in the styles of these artist, I would recommend either using a distortion pedal with this amp (I use a Line 6 DM4 distortion box), or getting an amp with a heavier distortion (such as peavy or line 6 spider for around the same price range). This Orange amp does have great tone considering it's solid state and has a lot of great features, just not a blistering distortion. I hope this is helpful.

Buying the amp used a person could expect the amp to come with speaker level input harness. Your distortion level is much higher using speaker level inputs. I would really recommend using a deck with RCA outputs and running the rca's back to the amp. You can always call a place on amazon that has the PA series amps and ask if they have any they would sell you. Do an amazon search for (stinger SGN11 ) I think this product will fit your needs.

It depends on how many watts the sub is, but to answer your question yes. Slowly turn the gain on amp master volume up, you'll be able to hear how much the sub can handle by distortion. This amp is a beast and it can blow that sub if not careful. I'm pushing to 12 cerwin vega with mine and it's loud.

Hi, This is my husbands, so I asked him. He says it has good bass, and goes deep and it has no distortion. Hope this helps.

Ya know I don't know. I use it as a rack studio amp for my "guitar room" It is a great amp for that. I usually run the volume just over half on each side and control the volume from my Eleven Rack. Great amp and an excellent price. If you are going to use it for stereo equipment you'll need some way to "pre-amp" it. As for it's quality it is great and I've not noticed any distortion at all.

Not sure without actually doing it myself, but I'd try assigning the distortion to the expression pedal. That way you'd have real-time control over the exact amount you were looking for. Paul's answer is a good idea too if you're ok with a static setting.

Yes. I did have a problem with the static noise. A slight movement of the amp make a ringing noise. I couldn't bare that sound so I returned it.

no. i only had it for a day before i sent it back. i must of received a lemon cause i could not bring the volume up past 24 without having the amp's safety turning off my unit. not interested in getting another one though.

Yep. Comes with a small on/off clean boost pedal (that I never use). Sounds okay with the boost but it shines with OD pedals and completely clean. Great little amp though.

this amp distorted quite a bit with 60 ohm AKG 702 headphones at only medium high volume. this is all i know. there was allot of treble and base produced at all times by this amp.

although I'm not an audiophile, I do not hear any distortion from my system. It is connected to a SONOS internet amp. Last week we had a Loud B-day party and no distortion was heard. yours may be defective or the connection from the system may be generating feedback. If you are looking for bass and treble adj. this system may be too basic for you.

Briefly - yes it does.Didn't have a chance to listen it with proper amp yet, so only source I have is x3You have to switch gain to high and volume up, and still you'll get details and stage way above your average over- and inears.

its electric you plug it into the wall glad to help, but i also warn you that it does not have great distortion and its only for beginners . the more you play guitar the more you will have an ear for what sounds good and your gonna wanna get a new amp eventually.

Effects sound ok if you run the amp clean. If you use the amp gain it gets too muddy. There is not much clean volume either so keep that in mind.
