Orange Amps is pleased to introduce its latest, UK-built, all-valve guitar amp head, the vintage inspired single channel OR60. The 60-Watt amp delivers focused, harmonically rich valve tone with a modern edge. It is generous in clarity, tight in the lows and voiced to take boosts beautifully. It’s modern Orange tone, designed to go hard!
Designed and made in the UK with premium components, the OR60 is driven by a pair of 6L6 power valves which give the head extensive headroom and depth, especially with a boost pedal in front. A second footswitchable volume control provides effortless solo cut-through or rhythm / lead switching without touching the gain. Because the gain is not touched, the core tone remains consistent, simply louder or softer as needed. Plus, the switchable 460V / 335V (60W / 30W) output allows guitarists to push the amp harder at lower volumes. This versatility, with zero tone compromise, is a powerful feature for live guitarists or studio setups, making the OR60 incredibly playable, whatever the style.
The dedicated Presence and Resonance controls offer customisable tone-shaping and fine tuning, allowing players to shape the high and low-end power amp stage to suit any cab or room. The Presence control adjusts high-end response for consistent clarity and harmonic definition helping a guitar cut through the mix. The Resonance control allows users to dial in low-end response and tailor the amp’s feel and depth to their playing style, whether it’s percussive tightness for modern metal or more classic booming bottom end.
The three position Bright switch adds two flavours of bite and definition to darker pick-ups, and brings extra snap and sparkle to clean tones. It allows players to sculpt the amp’s top-end voicing without affecting the overall gain character. When engaged, it lifts the treble response giving extra clarity and presence, which is particularly useful with humbuckers or darker-voiced guitars. When it is switched off (middle position) the tone is smoother, warmer and rounder. This small tweak has a big impact when players move between guitars or genres mid-set.
The amp's simple design is its key: just the straight-up, high-voltage voice of a masterfully designed single-channel amp, ready to be played raw or augmented with the valve-buffered FX loop. Simple, solid, and seriously loud. The bold design of the OR60 is instantly recognisable with its classic pics-only controls and signature orange Tolex finish. Built to perform and for a lifetime on the road or in the studio it is tour-tough and gig-ready.
The OR60 is the most versatile single-channel amp Orange Amps has ever built. With serious power and exceptional responsiveness, it moves effortlessly from glassy chime to classic crunch and well beyond, all delivered with Orange’s iconic British tone.
