Orange OR30 Single Channel UK Guitar Head – Orange

There are so many unique features on the Orange OR30 amp that its difficult to know where to start. But whether its the all-UK construction, the footswitchable volume control, or the bright switch the first on any amp in Oranges history were definitely going to have to shout about it, because the OR30 is also one of the loudest amps out there. Thats right: dont let the 30W rating mislead you this critter hits the same sound pressure readings as a 100W amp in the test room, meaning that youre getting both quantity and quality of classic Orange tone in one unbeatable box.

And what tone it is: with a tube rectifier to enable the kind of super-playable attack and release feel that just seems to glide your fingers along the fretboard, and a gain that goes from clean as a whistle to crunch to roaring saturation, this is an amp that will have players of all styles performing at their best. That versatility is reflected in the amps controls, too: with an cross-line presence control designed to work at any volume and not just howlingly loud, you can roll off the treble on the tone stack and add presence, or vice versa, and get two totally different tones.

Features

• BRIGHT SWITCH:A three-way bright switch offers you a clean-slate pedal platform, a fine-treble boost to interact with the tone stack, or a broad-treble fizz that offers laser-like cut-through.
• FOOTSWITCHABLE VOLUME BOOST: A secondary volume setting activated with a footswitch gives this single-channel amp a cheeky way of easily boosting from rhythm to lead.
• CROSS-LINE PRESENCE: A lot of presence controls are based on negative feedback, meaning you only notice it at high volumes. Not the OR30s: this is cross-line, so works at any volume.
