Orange OR15 Head

Fifteen watts of tube tone that sounds like double the power

The Orange OR15 Head proves that great tone has nothing to do with large dimensions. In an enclosure barely larger than a shoebox, a full-fledged tube amplifier delivers classic Orange sound without compromise: clear and precise cleans, full of character at the edge of breakup, and with the gain fully cranked, a rich, layered saturation that remains musical to the extreme.

Fifteen watts sounds modest, but the OR15 is one of the loudest amplifiers in its class. Thanks to its robust, proprietary transformers, it has enormous headroom and is suitable for almost any stage outside of large venues. The three-band EQ gives you complete control over your tone: roll back the gain and bass for crystal-clear funk sounds, or do the exact opposite for a roaring, dynamic overdrive with beautiful articulation. That versatility is perhaps the OR15's greatest weapon.

Technically, the OR15 is fully equipped for the serious guitarist. The preamp consists of three ECC81 (12AT7) and one ECC83 (12AX7) tubes, powered by two EL84 power tubes. The power is switchable between 7 and 15 watts, ideal for studio or stage. The valve-buffered effects loop places your modulation pedals in exactly the right spot in your signal path. Weighing only 8 kg, the OR15 is also easy to transport.

Compact, powerful, and unmistakably Orange: the OR15 Head is the ideal choice for guitarists who don't want to compromise on tone, but do want to compromise on weight.
