Portable valve tone with true bedroom-to-stage versatility.
The Orange Rocker 15 Terror Head delivers all the power, tone, and character of the Rocker 15 Combo in a lightweight, portable amp head format.

Compact enough for home use yet powerful enough for the stage, this is a true do-it-all amp for modern guitarists.
Dual-Channel Design
The Rocker 15 Terror keeps things simple but effective with two independent channels:
- Natural Channel – a nuanced, transparent voice with just a single volume control, perfect for players who love pedals or pure valve tone.
- Dirty Channel – a more traditional Orange drive channel featuring gain, volume, and a 3-band EQ for full tonal shaping, capable of everything from classic crunch to high-gain roar.
This combination makes the Rocker 15 Terror ideal for players who need flexibility without unnecessary complexity.
Bedroom to Stage Power
With its clever power switching and bedroom mode, the Rocker 15 Terror can deliver real valve saturation at any volume. Whether you’re practicing quietly at home, tracking in the studio, or pushing air on stage, you’ll always get that authentic Orange response.
