Orange Amps encompass the spirit of British Rock and Roll - born out of the heart of London in the sixties, Orange amps have grown from being the boutique items they once were, into the world renowned guitar amps of today.
The Orange amps sound is unique, but also very versatile. Often characterized by their modern, crunchy but warm sound, Orange amps saw a particular rise in popularity during the nineties with many Grunge and Brit-pop bands embracing the classic Orange sound using a combination of the Orange speaker cabs and Orange amp heads.
Now with the introduction of their two new combos since the discontinued Rocker 30, the Rocker 15 & 32 combos with 10" drivers are a welcomed addition to the Orange Amps arsenal
