There are so many unique features on the Orange OR30 amplifier that it's hard to know where to start. But whether it's the all-British construction, the footswitched volume control, or the brightness switch (a first for an amp in Orange history), we're definitely going to have to shout it out, because the OR30 is also one of the coolest amps around. noisy that exist. That's right: don't let the 30W power fool you – this creature hits the same SPL readings as a 100W amp in the test room, which means you're getting quantity and quality of classic Orange tone in one second to none box

And what a tone it has: with a tube rectifier that allows for the kind of super-playable attack and release feel that feels like sliding your fingers across the fretboard, and gain that goes from hissy clean to crunch to roaring overdrive, this is a amplifier that will make musicians of all styles give their best. That versatility is reflected in the amp's controls, too: with a crossover presence control designed to work at any volume and not just full volume, you can cut the treble on the tone bar and add presence, or vice versa, and get two totally different tones.

Add to this the three-position brightness switch, and the possibilities for changing the hue are almost endless. With the switch in the center neutral position, the amp is a perfect pedal platform, allowing the muscle of your distortion and overdrive effects to boost the amp's tone. Move it to the left for a fine treble boost, shifting it to the right will kick in a wider treble to fine tune your tone, just like the best classic rock amps of yesteryear. Then, once you've got your ideal sound nailed down, add the second volume control that can be switched with a footswitch for even more flexibility: a perfect rhythm tone can become your lead tone with the stomp of a foot, giving you a jump in watts to do solos,

It all adds up to the best British single channel amp you can build, skimping on literally nothing in the features department and with a virtually subterranean noise floor. Essentially, when you want total control, accept nothing less than the OR30.

BRIGHTNESS SWITCH. A three-way brilliance switch gives you a clean slate pedal deck, a fine treble boost for interfacing with the tone stack, or a broad treble fizz that delivers a laser-like cut.

VOLUME INCREASE WITH PEDAL. A footswitch-activated secondary volume adjustment gives this single-channel amp a cheeky way to easily transition from rhythm to lead.

TRANSVERSAL PRESENCE. Many presence controls rely on negative feedback, which means it's only noticeable at high volumes. Not the OR30s - they're crossover so they work at any volume.
