I don't know, but I imagine that they do.  Always preferred Marshalls
in the past.  It didn't show any amps, just spkr cabs.  They like to
mix up their gear from time to time, and those Orange cabs are built
like a brick shit-house. So they would fit right in with the ZZ vibe.
Their tour schedule doesn't include any dates in the area, but it's
only a partial, maybe they'll get up here later in the year.  When
they played here supporting Recyler, they played in the football
stadium and darn near sold it out...
