Very odd Sunn Stage Lead… I guess it falls somewhere between the Concert and Studio wattage…

First post = first solid state amp sunn ever made… The Orion. Actually it was just a pre-amp that hooked up to combination power amp/cabinets.

“The Sunn Orion “series” was Sunn’s first solid state amp; the “head” was actually only a preamp. The power amp was a new solid state design and was built into the bottom of the speaker cabinet. They built an amp for guitars and for bass, and the grill cloth had vertical stripes on it that got wider as you moved left to right. The cabinets themselves were wider and taller than the typical Sunn “C” cabinet.

While prototyping these amps, Sunn shipped 16 of them to the UK to The Who, so that they could “field test” them. The Who used them exclusively on their album “Magic Bus”.

Only a few of them ever made it onto the market… the preamp section worked fine, but the early TO-3 transistors in the power amp were very fragile… if you bumped the amp/speaker cabinet around (as in doing a loadout) while the amps were still warm, the transistors would break.

Sunn shipped 40 or 50 amp modules to The Who during the recording of the Magic Bus album because they were so rough on the amps.  After the album was completed, they shipped all the amps back to Sunn (in Tulalatin Oregon at the time). About four weeks later, a carton of “Magic Bus” albums arrived at Sunn so all the employees (including their high school summer draftsman, me) could have a copy as a “thank you” gesture. Sunn threw away (!) all of the returned Orion amps… put them in their dumpster. Since most of us that worked at Sunn thought they were nuts for throwing them away, we went back at midnight and went dumpster diving.  I hauled away one Orion speaker cabinet (the amp had been removed and the grille cloth had been slashed), and a roll of Sunn Tolex.  After making a 3/4” thick panel to cover the opening where the amp used to be (covered with Sunn Tolex of course), I used it as a standard bass cabinet for many years.

I’ve still got this Orion 2x15” speaker cabinet; it’s sitting in the corner of my basement.   :D”
