THANK YOU!

Thank you for choosing Orange. You are now a member of the

‘Legendary British Guitar Amplifier’ owners club!

Since 1968 when the company was founded, Orange has been a

pioneering force in the guitar amplification industry. Today, with

a team of the world’s finest amplifier engineers, Orange

continues to push back the boundaries of conventional tube

amplifier design.

Our commitment to craftsmanship and quality control has

allowed our amplifiers to stand the test of time, giving their owners as much pleasure now, as the day

they were bought. To maintain this level of excellence, each Orange amplifier is put through many

rigorous test procedures before leaving the factory.

The warmth, tonal quality and rich harmonics generated by a valve amplifier cannot be reproduced by

‘artificial’ means. Many guitarists have reached the same conclusion: neither the transistor nor

microchip is a suitable alternative to valve technology.

This booklet contains valuable technical and safety information Please take the time to read this manual

as the information may enhance the sound and performance of your amplifier. We are confident that

you will be delighted with your new purchase and that it will provide you with many years of enjoyment.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is

intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated ‘dangerous voltage’

within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a

risk of electric shock to persons. Terminals labelled as

“Speaker Outputs” must be connected to a speaker cabinet of the designated

load rating using an un-shielded two conductor cable for speaker use at all times

during operation

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle and "WARNING" are

intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating instructions.

Failure to heed the instructions will result in severe injury or death.

• Keep these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near liquid.

• Clean only with dry cloth.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has

two blades, one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding

prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit

into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Servicing: Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may

expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• Damage Requiring Service: Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to

qualified service personnel under the following conditions: (a) When the power-supply cord or plug

is damaged; (b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product; (c) If the product

has been exposed to rain or water; (d) If the product does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions.

Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work

by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation; (e) if the product has been

dropped or damaged in any way; (f) when the product exhibits a distinct change in performance -

this indicates a need for service.

• Replacement Parts: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has

used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the

original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

POWERING UP

When powering up a valve amplifier, it must be switched to standby for at least four minutes before

being switched to play. This gives the valves time to warm up and will prolong their life.

Good quality standard instruments (shielded) and speaker (non-shielded) cables are essential to a

prolonged and enjoyable relationship with your amp. We recommend that you do not use cables

with sprung or locking jacks as this can cause untimely wear on input and speaker jacks.

Always ensure that a speaker cabinet or combination of speaker cabinets of the correct impedance

is connected to your amplifier before powering up, appropriate combinations are as follows:

8 AND 16 Ohm AMPLIFIERS

1 x 16 Ohm cabinet connected to the 16 Ohm output

1 x 8 Ohm cabinet connected to one of the 8 Ohm outputs

2 x 16 Ohm cabinets each connected to one of the 8 Ohm outputs

NAME

DESCRIPTION

POWER SWITCH

Power on the amplifier by switching to the on position.

HALF/STBY/FULL

The output switch runs the valves at a low plate voltage in the HALF position and at a higher plate

voltage in the FULL position. The middle position is the standby position. This switch should be in

the standby position for around two minutes after first powering up the amplifier!

POWER INDICATOR LAMP

Will be illuminated when amplifier is powered on.

VOLUME CONTROL

The volume control adjusts the output volume. High levels of volume will heavily overdrive the

output stage!

SHAPE CONTROL

The shape control adjusts between all midrange (zero) to all bass and treble and no midrange

(maximum).

GAIN CONTROL

The gain control adjusts the gain. High levels of gain will heavily overdrive the pre-amp and may

sometimes be uncontrollable, especially when used at high volume levels!

INPUT

Connect your instrument to the amplifier with this input.
