Orange OR30 Amp Head
Classic Orange tone, modern flexibility – the loudest 30-watt amp you’ll ever play.
The Orange OR30 is a powerhouse of an amp head that proves wattage is just a number. Rated at 30 watts, it delivers sound pressure levels comparable to a 100-watt head in testing, making it one of the loudest amps in its class. Designed for guitarists who want both raw volume and rich tonal character, the OR30 offers that unmistakable Orange punch with added versatility for today’s players.
Big Power, Bigger Tone
Don’t be fooled by the 30-watt badge. The OR30 has all the headroom and muscle you’d expect from a full-sized touring amp, with enough projection to cut through any live mix. It carries the signature Orange sound – bold, harmonically rich, and full of dynamic presence – giving players the classic rock ’n’ roll growl the brand is famous for.
Versatile Control & Unique Features
What makes the OR30 special is its ability to adapt to your playing style. The three-way bright switch transforms the amp into different tonal platforms: a clean-slate pedal platform, a fine-treble boost for sparkle, or a broad-treble fizz for razor-sharp cut.
Add to that a foot-switchable volume boost, which increases wattage and makes jumping from rhythm to lead effortless. The cross-line presence control offers precise tonal shaping at any volume, keeping your sound balanced whether you’re at home, in the studio, or commanding the stage.
Built for Practice, Studio & Stage
While the OR30 is powerful enough to fill large venues, it’s just as capable in smaller environments. Thanks to its clever controls, you can enjoy inspiring tones at manageable volumes without losing character. Whether you’re a bedroom player, recording artist, or gigging professional, this amp adapts seamlessly to your needs.
