Orange OR15
A Compact Package, Bursting with Sound
It's roughly the weight of a bowling ball, and about the size of a shoebox, but don't think for a second that the OR15's compact stature (and therefore its incredible portability) comes at the expense of character or sonic heft: this pint-sized package is as overflowing with classic Orange tone as its bulkier relatives, delivering clean chimes full of purity and precision, a stately crunch at the edge of breakup, and an up-to-11 maximalism that rings out at full saturation, all with convenience and authority.
Don't think that 15 watts of power means it's just for practising, either: this is one of the loudest 15-watters you'll ever hear, happy at all but stadium gigs, thanks to its robust, proprietary transformers, offering miles of headroom and almost endless possibilities for different gain structures. Indeed, with a simple-yet-powerful three-band EQ allowing you to season your tone to taste, the versatility of the OR15 is perhaps its greatest asset: roll off the gain and bass for deliciously glassy funk, or do the reverse to turn this plucky little box into a fire-spitting monster, with gorgeously musical articulation even at its most overdriven.
Chuck in a valve-buffered effects loop that puts modulation pedals at exactly the right spot in your sound-making chain, and the OR15 has everything necessary to become the go-to amp for players of any style.
Features - Orange OR15
- Headroom vs Bedroom
The OR15 is undoubtedly an amp to be gigged, but that doesn't mean it's not perfect for practice too, thanks to a half-power switch that offers the same cranked amp feel at a more modest volume level. - Valve-Buffered Effects Loop
The nigh-on-invisible valve-buffered effects loop will make child's play of even the most complex pedal board, ensuring that the cherished Orange tone is retained in any signal chain. - A Design Classic
Buy into a little piece of design history with the effortlessly cool "hieroglyphs" design: the OR15 continues the Orange tradition of labelling amp controls with pictures instead of text-a revolutionary gesture when it was introduced in 1972 that's now as inseparable from the Orange brand as the psychedelic logo and colour of the tolex.
