THANK YOU!
Thank you for choosing Orange. You are now a member of the
‘Legendary British Guitar Amplifier’ owners club!
Since 1968 when the company was founded, Orange has been
a pioneering force in the guitar amplification industry. Today,
with a team of the world’s finest amplifier engineers, Orange
continues to push back the boundaries of conventional tube
amplifier design.
Our commitment to craftsmanship and quality control has
allowed our amplifiers to stand the test of time, giving their owners as much pleasure now, as the day
they were bought. To maintain this level of excellence, each Orange amplifier is put through many
rigorous test procedures before leaving the factory.
The warmth, tonal quality and rich harmonics generated by a valve amplifier cannot be reproduced
by ‘artificial’ means. Many guitarists have reached the same conclusion: neither the transistor nor
microchip is a suitable alternative to valve technology.
This booklet contains valuable technical and safety information Please take the time to read this
manual as the information may enhance the sound and performance of your amplifier. We are
confident that you will be delighted with your new purchase and that it will provide you with many
years of enjoyment.
