Just so nice and fluffly! Great for any genre basically but the greatest for Indie Rock, rock, stoner etc. I'm not saying it can't do metal, especially with a boost, but the Tiny Terror for example has a sound that's slightly better suited for that. It's perhaps one of the more gentle or vintage sounding Oranges of the bunch. Yup, I love those little things The Rocker 15 is unique when compared the others. I've had this Orange for about a year or so and I have 5 other Orange lunchbox amps. Making these demos always is a good opportunity to really learn what the amps can do. As for the amp’s effects loop, we’ve opted to keep the signal path all-valve to preserve the amp’s tonal integrity.I finally got around to making an in-depth demo for my Orange Rocker 15 Terror head. The chassis-mounted switchgear is secured to a welded steel enclosure and housed in a sturdy 18mm plywood cabinet. Like our latest flagship valve amp heads, the Rocker combos do away with plastic connector blocks and ribbon cables in favour of hand-soldered flying leads. For the best possible tone and durability, the Rocker 15 uses the same proprietary transformers found in our iconic Terror Series. ENGINEERED TO BE PLAYEDĪt Orange, we expect our amps to work for a living. This high level of efficiency, plus a surprisingly gutsy bottom end means maximum projection from this tiny combo, whilst retaining the crisp, bell-like chime of a great 10” speaker. With a sensitivity of 101dB, our Voice of the World Gold Label 10 makes the most of every available Watt, and you’ll soon notice the extra clout on stage. (Optional FS-1 footswitch sold separately) CUSTOM ORANGE VOICE OF THE WORLD GOLD LABEL SPEAKERĮL84 valves and 10” speakers are a time-honoured combination for classic guitar tone, but in order to make the smallest possible gigging combo we decided to develop our own custom driver. It too can be set on the cleaner side as a second rhythm sound, or dialled for various flavours of British grit for leads. The ‘Dirty’ channel has a more traditional look with Gain, Master Volume and a three band EQ. Quite literally, you get out what you put in. Cleaner settings produce clear, glistening tones whilst cranking the volume reveals a bluesy crunch that loves to be kicked harder with boost and overdrive pedals. Single coils ring out with true clarity and humbuckers sing with woody overtones. The ‘Natural’ channel features just one control for volume and is voiced for absolute transparency. If you’ve ever wondered what your guitars or your pedals actually sounded like, the Rocker Series amps are a joy to play. This makes for great tones in the practise room or in the studio, with the option to step up a gear to full power 15 Watt mode for the stage. The result is this little combo sounds and feels more like a big amp, even in the lowest power modes. When in Bedroom mode, the circuit has been designed to retain the springiness and feel that we love about valve amps, a sensation that often gets lost with some attenuator designs. KEY FEATURES: FROM BEDROOM TO HEADROOM:īetween the Rocker 15’s full and half power modes – plus the aptly named ‘Headroom/Bedroom’ attenuator switch – the amp switches between 15, 7, 1 or even half a Watt. So, whether you need a rig for low-volume practising, recording, or to be heard on the club circuit, the shape-shifting Rocker 15 will show itself to be the amp for every occasion. The amp also features a proper valve driven effects loop for total purity from input to output. Both channels are very sensitive to touch and playing dynamics, making Rocker 15 very versatile despite its straightforward, player-friendly layout. The ‘Dirty’ channel is a more familiar affair with controls for Gain, Volume and a three band EQ section. Finely balanced and supremely playable, this channel is perfectly voiced to bring out the ‘natural’ sound of the instrument under your fingers (or the pedals under your feet). The Natural channel is a purist’s dream with just a single knob: Volume. Even when scaling back the power, the amp’s tone stays fat and full, oozing warm valve compression and saturation without disturbing the neighbours.Ĭlever options aside, the Rocker 15 has real character – a twin channel design with a twist. Thanks to a custom Voice of the World Gold Label speaker and beefy transformers, the Rocker 15 has a remarkably potent delivery which takes full advantage of its EL84 output section. With the Rocker 15 set wide open, smaller venues are comfortably taken care of despite the amp’s miniature footprint. Finally, a small, two channel, bedroom-friendly all-valve amp that you can legitimately gig! Capable of 0.5, 1, 7 or 15 Watts of output the Rocker 15 is an extremely portable combo that moves seamlessly from the home, to the studio, to the stage.
