I really like the laney with 6L6GCs. The jcm800 sounds kick ass with 6l6GCs aswell, but it has to be modded to work.

IMO, the Laney is tight and punchy, it's a nice old rock to metal amp. I can hear some similarities in that compared to the jcm800. When I say "on steroids" I mean GH50L has more range stock.

JCM800 doesn't drive like the GH50L without an OD pedal.

Now when you compare the jcm800 to the Zakk Wylde or Kerry King isn't the same. Granted both sigs are JCM800... but extremely modded Marshall amps.

I had a 1985 2203 and it wouldn't do BLS or Slayer stock. While the GH50L could get closer... much closer.

I can't say about the orange, never played one.
