If I ever buy an orange amp, it’s single-handedly because of Ade Emsley
Ade, Jimmy Page, Iommi, Matt Pike, Jim Root, Mastodon for a minute, Blackberry Smoke, Clutch, the Sword..... list goes on and on 🍊❤️
echo that 100%
Agreed
I can’t tell you how much I love Orange Amps and that beautiful Orange sound. There is absolutely nothing better than the sound of an American made guitar playing through a British made Orange amp.
This warms my heart to see this in 2023. Love my Rockerverb 100.
God I love Orange. Every single time I look at an Orange, play an Orange, or watch a video on an Orange, from Orange, it gives me the same feeling I get on Christmas morning. Nothing but pure joy.
Same!
You had me at “bright switch.” Can’t wait to try one of these in person.
Favorite amp in the shop right now, kudos to the Orange team for an awesome release
That’s because it’s only amp that hasn’t been made in china for almost the last decade 😳
Orange ain't playing around. They're putting out good stuff.
Orange is killing it. First the Super Crush 100 and now this! Get your daily dose of vitamin C y'all!
i like Ade... so chill and just says what the damn thing does !! no fluff marketing nonsense !!!!
Wow, you continue innovating amazingly the amp world, is great to see you Ade, you aged as good wines and wise amp rocker wizard, so cool that you share all that technical information and education introducing the products that you develop, there nothing like this in the amp industry, keep the Orange rocking the world!
Sounds unreal. Dig the recording of this clip. It really does capture the vibe of a guy just jamming in a room.
I am beyond stoked for this! Ade makes my favorite amps ever!
Me too. Although I would love to try a 70s OR, even an 90s would be cool to try
Ade is such an amp guru and legend - I love listening to him talk about products he built. I used to have a Rockerverb 100 for almost a decade. I just didn't like how mid saturated it was in the end, but man did it have some sick tones. I guess I ended up with something a little more versatile in the tone ranges, but that spongey Orange sound is something I'd love to have if I had the extra cash for one. The cabs are like tanks!
I played Orange in the 70,s till now I,ve never found a amp to even come close to there tones Great job and new amp, will be adding one to my collection thanks!
Wow man!!! 😳. That’s amazing!
Edit: I would of loved to play Orange amps in the 70s but unfortunately I was born a little over 20 years later lol
Orange literally never misses. I have a Thunderverb 50 and haven't lusted after another amp since I got it (except for other Oranges).
That's what I've been playing for years now! They're hard to beat
Man…I love listening to Ade.
I am very happy with my Orange super crush 100, it surpassed my expectations by a million light years and I'm using it with my pod go and it just gets ridiculously good tones and low volume tones. I have a Marshall Super lead 100 preset and it sounds exactly like this but a little bit more low end if I make it lower
UK Made, tube rectified, 2W setting, comes in black - I swear, Ade’s been reading my mind. 😵💫👍🏻
Why would you want it in black? It's an Orange goddamn it, lol.
@@andreasf6671Nah, they know a few of us like our gear like we like our coffee and our soul, muahaha! 🖤

As I was able to find almost by myself this video, following the page on the Orange website, and also because I already have an OR15 that I love, I think I deserve the big brother 30w so he can look after his sibling. And together rock.
We are looking forward to these. ❤
This looks awesome. Actually a lot of my favourite parts of different amps all together in one! There was a JCM 900 that had a switchable master volume, always thought that was a good idea.
A lot of amps have switchable master volumes 😅
Wow Going to buy that amp. Great advice I should have known about the Standby on the amp Years and years later
Truly amazing stuff. The headroom/bedroom switch is a very useful feature for such amp. I wish I could use my OR15 at home
They really should update the OR15 to do the same headroom bedroom thing as the rocker 15
I play mine through an Orange 4x12 at home. Too loud probably. I face a busy road, so that helps.
@@adama4791just get the Brent Hinds or the Rocker 15
This is awesome news! Congratulations 🥳
Sounds killer. Spot on with the features 👍
Good god this thing is sick. Currently using a Brent hinds terror or a crush pro 120, but both lack a bit in a live setting. This is what I’ve needed 🤘🏼🍊
Been waiting for a slightly larger model of the OR15! Awesome!
Is it possible to use the OR15 for gigs?
Love my ad30tc now I’m saving for this
This sounds killer. I've been playing Rockerverbs MKI 50 heads - yeah, with the 4x6V6 tubes - for many years. Just awesome and versatile amps. Once a Orange and you don't look back.
If you could only have the Rockerverb or the OR30, you'd take the Rockerverb, right?
@@LeeGee I don't know since I have not played the OR30. I am used to the RV, the 6V6 sound and it's 4 gainstages. It is more versatile than the OR30, I guess. On the other hand I do like the sound and the simplicity of the OR30.
Wow ...this amp sound awesome!! I think I need this and a 212 cab...
Phenomenal sounding amp
Amazing work Ade!! Your comment about how to switch on and off the amp has got my thinking Im doing it all wrong. I have a single channel AD30 and was wondering what is the best way to switch that one on and off? I have alway powered it on in standby mode..left it a couple of minutes and then switched the standby to play. Powering it off I would switch it back to standby and leave it a minute before switching the power off. Is this the correct way or am I hammering my valves? Id appreciate the info as there is very little out there on my amp...seems like there are not many about...
Love orange amps, Gran Hechicero turned me onto them years ago!
I have an OR 15 for years and it became my sound and even though it is 15 watts I played it in a stadium with 50,000 people (micing it) and in pubs that had 30 people and it always sounded great...I guess it's time to upgrade to this one
Yep, a Marshall 100w super lead sounded awful next to my AD1510(on full) the "popstar" wanted to buy it from me, I lent it to him and it disapeared for a year(EMI) then I got it back . It must have grated him cos he took a valve out thinking it would sabotage my efforts but no it still chugged along. I think the "Tone controls " are really volume controls. I may have to take a peek at the circuit again.
This thing sounds great!
Sounds great!
I totally love my ad30. But I gotta say I want one of these.
Since I'm the first comment and found this video before the amp was even announced, I feel it is only fair that I win a prize, of which should be an OR30.
My biggest regret with gear is selling a Rocker 30 about two years ago… 30 watt orange amps are great middle ground between lunchbox and big heads …..awesome
the oreo sound that we have been looking for, finally.
Ade is the MAN!! True ROCKER!!!
And right after I got the super crush 100 😂 this things sounds awesome and I love the extra tonal options
Jimminy Christmas that sounds Amazing!!!
Very nice!
Destined to be a classic.
The part where he talks about powering down the amp does that only apply to Orange amps or others as well?
Thanks, Arthur Shelby!
If you dime the master volume will it give a lot of power tube distortion? Or is primarily all preamp distortion?
Awesome!
Does this thing with warming up amp on play instead of stnadby/warmup should be used on other tube amps or not? I have rockerverb 50 mk3 combo and wondering is this appliable or should i just continue like was thaught, first standby and than go to play after 5 mins...
Does the OR30 cover the sonic territory of the AD30 HTC, for example when literally maxing all of the controls to get a nice, big sound? Or is it more of its own design?
I love that he played Ghostbusters during the demo!
Hot damn! I adore my RVmkiii, so now it's time to save for some more flavour... orange for the win !!
Anybody using the OR15 for gigs? I'm interested in buying the OR15 but not sure if it will be good for gigs as well.
An evolution of AD30 !!
Any ideo of small combo amp hand vired made in UK?
As I'm the third, I should clearly receive three. This is the Orange amp that I've been looking for.
If you get to have 3 then I want 30 OR30's for being first.
Commenting on an unlisted video. It’s magic I tell ya. 😆
Ade is the man!!!!!!
It would have been really nice to have had a pro demo it. This chap is your standard music shop fare.
My Thunderverb 200 has an attenuator built in too :)
Sounds like a giant AC 30 on steroids with a huge flexable preamp section. Nice job.
Great sounding amp, but nothing will make me sell my Dual Dark 100 :)
Usually not a fan of EL84s but I'll have to give this a try
How does this compare to the Rockerverb III gain channel? I'm loving these stripped down features and sound.
I got a Rv 50 mk1 and mk2 at home for a long time and also the mk3 for a few days. I can tell you the or50 is a totally different beast. I did not believe a long time and the flexibility of two channels is still good for me, but mate this one channel or50 is unbelievable direct dynamic and in your face. I still have my RV but it is very compressed. Different flavours. I like both.
@@MrKnisterableOR30??
Sold my OR15 because it couldn't keep up with my bandmates 100w marshall, might have to pick this one up!
this is amazing, where can I buy one?
Please Adrian add that bright switch and presence to a Rockerverb style amp
The Negotiating Power argument sold me
When's the combo coming out?
When are you guys gonna make a 100 watt hand-wired custom shop amp??
Just when you thought the AD-30 couldn't be beat...😮
ADE EMSLEY, What do you mean by Crossline Presense? what do you mean by Open Loop Class A amplifier compared to Closed Loop Class A Amplifier?
Open loop means no negative feedback, most presence controls work in the feedback loop, so an alternative is a tone cut across the phase inverter (cross-line)
crossline is like vox ac30 cut control....either cuts highs or lets them pass.
damn that thing sounds good
I hope that his advice on powering up and powering down the amp only applies to Orange amps, or I feel like a fool. I always powered up with my switch in standby cuz i thought it warmed the tubes like they should. Anyway, I just got the new black-tolex OR30 today. I havent even had time to play it yet. Im sure its cool.
Think of it as a negotiating switch, brilliant 😂😂
That is the opposite of what I have always heard, RE: powering on. Wouldn't powering it on NOT in standby shock the rectifier tubes? I though the standby switch limited the power to the tubes and the rest of the circuit?
The tube rectifier takes time to start working so the power up is a soft start, no need to be in Standby. Switching from Standby to On can cause a larger initial current draw (Reservoir caps charge) and harm the rectifier (depends on the circuit though). Probably would have been better to not have a standby switch at all tbh, but guitarists seem to like them ;-)
@@TheSizzlingBadger thanks for the explanation. In my brain the initial hit from power in would be worse (in a straight circuit) but I forgot about the other stuff in the path like capacitors. Incidentally, I managed to snag one, pending. I'll need to find a good home for my OR15. Time too make some kid happy somewhere.
Ade for President!
🔥🔥🔥
Perfect amp for my flat.
the guy demoing the amp looks like one of the guitar players from Suns Of The Tundra. Don’t think it’s him, just a funny coincidence, but what a good band.
Hope the amp is as good as Ade’s demo. I do appreciate the technical information and tutorial. 📋
Love the OR3023 password on the site guys 😂😂😂
Pocket baccy strikes again.... Adore my AD15, definitely need to get hold of one of these
What is the Cab?
can i get one in purple?
Vitamin C (Cojones). 🍊🥞🍊
This or the Rockerverb, though? Why can't the Rockerverb have a 'bedroom' switch too?!
Rockerverb lll has a built in attenuator, serves the same function with more versatility.
yes... YES...
How many stages of gain does it have?
Seems like three hearing some of the other reviews on it and seeing the prototype’s open chassis in a previously uploaded vid. Don’t quote me on that tho.
Yeah. Ade says it has a 3 stage preamp around the 4 minute mark in the vid.
what tubes does it has?
4 el84 power section
I'd buy one based on the telly vs amp wattage comment alone! 😜😂😎🤟🏻🎸
That sounds fan'effin'tastic.
How do you deal with a full stack at 16 ohm with only one input Jack for 16 ohm?
Two 16 ohm cabs, one into each of the 8 ohm jacks.
I’m still happy with my dual terror and PPC412 to be honest……
Who needs a JCM800 when you can get an OR30
When I played an OR15 I immediately thought this is what people who have never played a jcm800 think it sounds like at the time 15 years ago it did small modded Marshall better than anything else I’d tried
Someone wanting El34 bass
Does sound really good though
Marshall sucks
Apparently people who can still hear over 7khz post covid...
I love real tube amps! especially ehrn they´re build by crazy people! I have several oranges! Rockerverb, Dark Terror and micro Dark. I will allways play tube amps untill something better is invented... so the rest of life! 🙂
Okay, I believe the rumours now 😂
"With a tube-rectified amp, the best way to power this up is to make sure both switches switch to play. Bang it on, and let it ramp gradually. That way you don't shock the rectifier, you know. A-a-and when you power it down, that's when you want to switch it to Standby. And that lets the tubes come down to an intermediate temperature, before you cool 'em right off. That will increase your tube life-probably at least double. I've always done it, and it's served me well."
That sounds backwards. Is he right?
Love this amp, but wish you guys had used better tubes. Mine was making some noise with no input, and if I tapped on the chassis it sounded like reverb tank springs jangling around but obviously there isn’t one. Two of the el84s were microphonic, one ridiculously so, and the ecc82 was insanely microphonic. All psvane tubes which are generally trash, with the exception of one 12ax7 being a JJ. Maybe this was UPS’ fault but kind of disappointing that I have to replace at least three tubes in a brand new amp, may just replace them all for good measure. May want to think about packing for the tubes or having them packed separately since they’re getting shipped around the world. But other than that, I love the amp itself. Just don’t get why you’d potentially risk the reputation of UK built/all tube at this price point by putting known trash tubes in it.
They've been using cheaper tubes for years now. Shame they haven't sorted it yet. I've got one of these on the way and hoping it shows up okay.
That is not problem with amp to run tubes very hotThe issue is that today tubes are low quality. Would be nice if tubes will be made again in UK or USA with quality of ol' days.
We, and audio people are about the only ones that use them. I saw a company a year and a half ago that was soliciting for suggestions of what tubes they should make for guitar amps due to the tube shortage and since they already had the facilities (they make audio and turntable amplifiers that are tube driven), but the cheapest audio tube they make on the audio side is like 699.00 a pop. Their phono plug terminators are 75.00 a pair. So, thanks, but no thanks. I don't thnk we are going to see American manufactured tubes- there aren't enough bands and players in the US that would use them with enough regularity to make it even remotely profitable, or even to recoup the outlay to build a place.
@@CedricSatterfield Tubbes are used for other music equipment and tube synthesizers as well.
But even if it was only guitar amps what is the problem to make 1 factory which wil make high quality tubes in UK or USA?
@@GODenWord Tens of mllions of dollars in pre-investment, siting, material outlay, construction, hiring......unless you are volunteering to do it.
@@CedricSatterfield To make high quality amplifier factory should not be that alot differnt from high quality tube factory. More over i am pretty shure this is gold mine couse all high end guitar amplifier manufactors will be intresting in such high end tubes.
And as i seid tubes are used not only in guitar amplifier but in alot of rest of music eqipment and also tube synthizers instruments.
P.s. But anyway i am prety shure this idea will work like hot cakes how ever iff this idea will fail i hope they will not find me and panish me with huge kok in my s.
@@GODenWordThere’s very few tube based synthesisers and are very niche pieces of equipment.
Whilst tube equipment exists in pro audio, it’s yet again a much smaller market and it’s not held in the same esteem as it is with guitar amps.
