Inside Orange CR12L

[ozzu2000]

I just opened an Orange CR12L 12W practice amp to see what makes it tick.
For a power amp it as a TDA2030A.
Then on the preamp a 4558C.
There's also a C3198 NPN, and everything else are just resistors and capacitors.
Pretty simple really! Though it would be a bit more complex.

I'll try to add pictures.
