Orange Amps Rocker-15 15W Combo Tube Guitar Amp

The Rocker 15 15W 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.

Ideal For Small Spaces

With the Rocker 15 set wide open, smaller venues are comfortably taken care of despite the amps 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 amps tone stays fat and full, oozing warm valve compression and saturation without disturbing the neighbors. Clever options aside, the Rocker 15 has real character a twin channel design with a twist.

From to Bedroom to Headroom

Between the Rocker 15s 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 youve 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. Cleaner settings produce clear, glistening tones whilst cranking the volume reveals a bluesy crunch that loves to be kicked harder with boost and overdrive pedals. Quite literally, you get out what you put in. The Dirty channel has a more traditional look with Gain, Master Volume, and a three-band EQ. It too can be set on the cleaner side as a second rhythm sound or dialed for various flavors of British grit for leads. (Optional FS-1 footswitch sold separately)

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 decided to develop their own custom driver. With a sensitivity of 101dB, the Voice of the World Gold Label 10 makes the most of every available Watt, and youll 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

At Orange, they expect the amps to work for a living. For the best possible tone and durability, the Rocker 15 uses the same proprietary transformers found in their iconic Terror Series. Like their latest flagship valve amp heads, the Rocker combos do away with plastic connector blocks and ribbon cables in favor of hand-soldered flying leads. The chassis-mounted switchgear is secured to a welded steel enclosure and housed in a sturdy 18mm plywood cabinet. As for the amps effects loop, weve opted to keep the signal path all-valve to preserve the amps tonal integrity.
