Orange Amps OR30 30-Watt Tube Guitar Amplifier Head, Black

Introducing the OR30, a powerful 30-watt tube single channel guitar head proudly built in the United Kingdom by Orange. This brand-new beast offers exciting features never before seen on an OR series amp – and in some cases not on an Orange amp entirely.

The OR series amps have been cherished by musicians worldwide who prefer a simple, single channel platform without channel switching, making it perfect for minimalist setups or as a pedal platform. The OR30 continues this tradition with its single channel layout but adds some innovative features.

Visually, the OR30 sports Orange’s iconic “Pics Only” graphic, except for the power and standby switches. First on the front panel is the Cross Line Presence control, which modifies high-end frequencies in the power section. Moving to the right, you’ll find two volume controls that can be conveniently toggled using a separate single-button footswitch (sold separately). The OR30 also sports a classic 3-band EQ and a three-way Bright switch, a first for an Orange amp.

At the back, the OR30 includes a tube-driven effects loop, enhancing its versatility as a single channel amp. Traditionalists who prefer using delays and reverbs in the effects loop will find this feature especially appealing. Additionally, if you’re a player who incorporates digital effects or modelers, the OR30 supports the 4-cable method for seamless integration.

The back panel of the OR30 houses a two-way “Headroom/Bedroom” power scaling switch, allowing you to operate the amp at either its full 30 watts (Headroom) or a reduced 2 watts (Bedroom) for quieter practice sessions.

Powered by a quartet of EL84 tubes, the OR30 delivers the unmistakable Class A British crunch and chime that Orange is known for. Being cathode biased, changing power tubes is hassle-free as long as you use a properly matched set of EL84 tubes; a full bias adjustment is not required.

The OR30 provides two 8 Ohm speaker outputs and one 16 Ohm output, offering flexibility when connecting to different speaker cabinets. For an exceptional pairing, consider the Orange PPC212V partial open back cabinet. And if you’re craving a full-throttle experience, the Orange PPC412 closed back cabinet will take your tone to new heights.

Choose the Orange OR30 for a single channel amp that effortlessly transitions from pristine cleans to crushing overdrive without compromising on sound quality.
