Sound Pure's Take

Love the bold clean tone with this one! Dynamic crunch achievable, as well! This is a great sized cabinet for this type of amp! Really allows for the bass quality to well-up and pack a punch. and that reverb! dang! take away the overly springy tanks that most amp companies just throw in for giggles, and put some more thought into it. what do you get? usable and musical air. It's all you need!

I love how 3 Monkeys doesn't complicate their controls. The fewer knobs the better, in my book. Less knobs means a much more direct signal for the purest tube tone.  

and it doesn't hurt that this amp happens to look down right retro and amazing! In a sea of plain lookin amps, this one stands out in the best way possible. Get noticed on stage and have the best lookin amp in the studio. 

Takes pedals like a champ, too!

Call or email for info on how quickly we can get you think amp in the color of your choice! I've been loving the Organ Grinder models cab color. It would look great on the orangutan 1x12!

From 3 Monkeys Amps

Same great Orangutan tone in a 1×12 Combo.

We’ve dropped the Orangutan chassis in a 1×12 combo featuring our 3 Monkeys 8 ohm speaker.

The Orangutan 1×12 has the same unique six position rotary VOICE switch. The VOICE switch changes both the gain structure and the tone as you rotate it clockwise. The VOLUME control interacts with the VOICE switch to produce shimmering cleans and smooth overdriven tones. The BASS is more like a global low frequency control, while the TREBLE acts as a cut. The LIFT switch disables the BASS control to provide boost and clarity. ROOM is our focused reverb, no surf wash here. While this amp is a no gain monster, it is rooted in the classic tones of 70s rock. Not trying to specifically mimic any one amp the Orangutan has it’s own distinctive voice, suited to both stage and studio.
