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 valve amplifier design.
Our commitment to craftsmanship and quality control has allowed our amplifiers to stand the
test of time, giving their owne rs 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 Pleas e 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.
