Title: Orion Bass & Treble Controls
Post by: jazzyvee on October 21, 2008, 12:08:38 PM

I recently bought an Orion Baritone off one of the forum members in the UK. No problems at all with it. I'm just trying to work out what the controls are set up as.
 
I have an existing Orion guitar and the controls are bass and treble with a centre indent so boost and cut.
 
This Baritone does not have a centre indent on bass or treble, so does this mean that it is all boost from low to high?

No. The first Orions and Epics didn't have the center detent, but the center of rotation is still flat and both controls still boost and cut.

To be honest I haven't had a lot of time to play it yet as i've been in quite busy lately. But I guess I will have more time soon to get used to it. I do like the meaty sound of the guitar and hope to use it for playing blues more than anything else.
 
I'll let you know when I get more used to it. It is i think more of a specialist sounding guitar and probably not an all purpose guitar like my regular electrics. But I time will tell.
 
Thanks anyway, I'm still happy with the guitar.
