Orange Amps new site launch

Posted by Jon in • Guitar Sites

Orange Amps website
As part of it’s celebrations for it’s 40th Anniversary, Orange amps have now completely re-launched their website. Just as you would expect judging by the name and the product there is plenty of orange splashed around too! There is nothing completely revolutionary happening on the new site, but it easy enough to navigate your way to the meat of the site and check out Orange’s product range. Have a look at their 40th Anniversary Custom Shop for instance, each country will only see 1 or 2 of the 40 hand built 50 Watt collectors items, each with its own unique circuit and name, Point to Point hand Wiring, Plexi Glass front panel and powered by 2 x EL34 and 2 x ECC83/12AX7.

The Artists section is like a rock ‘n roll history chart with everyone from Aerosmith, AC/DC, Black Sabbath to Freddie King, Johnny WInter, Oasis, Prince and ZZ Top! But that will come as no surprise to anyone, Orange have long been known as one of the great tube amp manufacturers. There is also a History section which outlines some of the key points in Orange’s colourful (haha get it!) 40 years, and of course the obligatory Forum for all you Orange lovers to chat to each other about how good your gear sounds.

Finally the part that I always find most interesting, Orange have collected a few features together like this one from Portishead’s Adrian Utley who talks about his AD30 and recording their new album ‘Third’. I have to say I haven’t ever put an Orange amp through its paces but I might have to pop round to Gallin’s today and check out the Tiny Terror!

Clicking on ads has been proven to make you a better guitar player, just wanted to put that out there...
