Orange Amplifiers Rocker 15 Combo (Black, 15W)

Orange Amplifiers Rocker 15 Combo (Black, 15W)

Capable of 0.5, 1, 7, or 15 Watts of output, the Orange Amplifiers Rocker 15 is an extremely portable combo that moves seamlessly from the home to the studio to the stage. Finally, a small, two-channel, bedroom-friendly all-valve amp that you can legitimately gig. With the Rocker 15 set wide open, smaller venues are comfortably taken care of despite the amp’s miniature footprint. Thanks to a custom Voice of the World Gold Label speaker and beefy transformers, the Rocker 15 has a remarkably potent delivery that takes full advantage of its EL84 output section. Even when scaling back the power, the amp’s tone stays fat and full, oozing warm valve compression and saturation without disturbing the neighbors.

Twin Channel Design

Clever options aside, the Rocker 15 has real character – a twin channel design with a twist. The Natural channel is a purist’s dream with just a single knob: Volume. 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 ‘Dirty’ channel is a more familiar affair with controls for Gain, Volume, and a three-band EQ section. Both channels are very sensitive to touch and playing dynamics, making Rocker 15 incredibly versatile despite its straightforward, player-friendly layout.

The amp also features a proper, valve-driven effects loop for total purity from input to output. So, whether you need a rig for low-volume practicing, recording, or to be heard on the club circuit, the shape-shifting Rocker 15 will show itself to be the amp for every occasion.

From Bedroom To Headroom

Between 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. 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. The result is that this little combo sounds and feels more like a big amp, even in the lowest power modes. This makes for great tones in the practice room or in the studio, with the option to step up a gear to full power 15 Watt mode for the stage.

Unique Twin Channel Design

If you’ve ever wondered what your guitars or your pedals actually sounded like, the Rocker Series amps are a joy to play. The ‘Natural’ channel features just one control for volume and is voiced for absolute transparency. Single coils ring out with true clarity and humbuckers sing with woody overtones.

Custom Orange Voice Of The World Gold Label Speaker

EL84 valves and 10-inch speakers are a time-honored combination for classic guitar tone, but in order to make the smallest possible gigging combo, Orange Amps decided to develop a custom driver. With a sensitivity of 101dB, the Voice of the World Gold Label 10 makes the most of every available Watt, and you’ll soon notice the extra clout on stage. 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-inch speaker.

Engineered To Be Played

Orange expects their amps to work for a living. For the best possible tone and durability, the Rocker 15 uses the same proprietary transformers found in the iconic Terror Series. Like the latest flagship valve amp heads, the Rocker combos do away with plastic connector blocks and ribbon cables in favor of hand-soldered flying leads.
