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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated ‘dangerous voltage’
within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electric shock to persons. Terminals labelled as
“Speaker Outputs” must be connected to a speaker cabinet of the designated
load rating using an un-shielded two conductor cable for speaker use at all times
during operation
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle and "WARNING" are
intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating instructions.
Failure to heed the instructions will result in severe injury or death.
• Keep these instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Do not use this apparatus near liquid.
• Clean only with dry cloth.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has
two blades, one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit
into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• Servicing: Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Damage Requiring Service: Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions: (a) When the power-supply cord or plug
is damaged; (b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product; (c) If the product
has been exposed to rain or water; (d) If the product does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions.
Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work
by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation; (e) if the product has been
dropped or damaged in any way; (f) when the product exhibits a distinct change in performance this indicates a need for service.
• Replacement Parts: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has
used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
