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 t ake 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.

TH100

ENGLISH

• 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.

USING YOUR AMPLIFIER

1. Connect the amplifier to a speaker cabinet of the correct impedance.

Connect 1 x 16ohm cabinet to the 16ohm speaker output jack socket.

Connect 1 x 8ohm cabinet to either of the 8ohm speaker output jack socket.

Connect 2 x 16ohm cabinets to both of the 8ohm speaker output jack sockets.

2. Connect the amplifier to a mains supply of the correct voltage as marked on the amplifier.

Make sure that the HALF/STBY/FULL output switch is in the Standby (middle) position before

switching the power switch to the ON position.

IMPORTANT!

For countries or regions with a mains voltage of 115v or 120v, please switch the small, red

mains selector to 115v or 120v and replace the fuse in the black pull out fuse tray, below the

mains inlet, with the 120v version supplied.

For countries or regions with a mains voltage of 230v, please switch the small, red mains

selector to 230v and replace the fuse in the black pull out fuse tray, below the mains inlet,

with the 230v version supplied.

3. VOLUME CONTROL. (Clean channel)

The volume control adjusts the volume of the clean channel.

High levels will overdrive the output stage in a vintage manner!

4. BASS CONTROL. (Clean channel)

The bass control adjusts the bass response of the clean channel. It also decreases midrange

response when turned fully clockwise.

5. TREBLE CONTROL. (Clean channel)

The treble control adjusts the treble response of the clean channel.

These two controls are slightly interactive, creating a wider tonal range!

6. GAIN CONTROL. (Dirty channel)

The gain control adjusts the gain of the dirty channel.

High levels of gain will heavily overdrive the pre-amp and may sometimes be uncontrollable,

especially when used at high volume levels!

7. SHAPE CONTROL. (Dirty channel)

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

(maximum), on the dirty channel.

8. VOLUME CONTROL. (Dirty channel)

The volume control adjusts the output volume of the dirty channel.

High levels of volume will heavily overdrive the output stage!

9. CHANNEL SWITCH.

The channel switch switches between the clean and dirty channel.

This switch needs to be switched to the dirty channel in order for the footswitch to function!

ENGLISH

11. FOOTSWITCH JACK SOCKET.

The footswitch jack socket (rear of amplifier) enables channel switching using any latching

footswitch.

12. OUTPUT SWITCH. (HALF/STBY/FULL)

The output switch (found next to the power switch on front of amplifier) runs the valves at a low

plate voltage (reducing output power and running in Class AB-1) in the HALF position and at a

higher plate voltage (increasing output power and running in Class AB-2) 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!

13. 2 OUTPUT TUBES/4 OUTPUT TUBES SWITCH.

The 2 Output Tubes/4 Output Tubes switch (found on rear of amplifier) removes two of the EL34

output valves, when in the 2 OUTPUT TUBES position. This switch also takes care of the speaker

impedance (in the background), when in the 2 OUTPUT TUBES position. This means that the

speaker impedance is always as stated in the screen print, above each speaker output jack

socket, regardless of the position of this switch.

14. OUTPUT POWER COMBINATIONS.

Output switch HALF, 2 OUTPUT TUBES = 35watts Class AB-1.

Output switch HALF, 4 OUTPUT TUBES = 70watts Class AB-1.

Output switch FULL, 2 OUTPUT TUBES = 50watts Class AB-2.

Output switch FULL, 4 OUTPUT TUBES = 100watts Class AB-2.

(The power amp will overdrive earlier when switched to the HALF, Class AB-1 position).
