Orange Amplification celebrated their 40th
anniversary in 2008 with the issue of an extremely limited-edition amp:
the OR50H. Due to overwhelming public demand, Orange Amplification have
decided to re-introduce it.
In 1972 Orange launched an amp
that defined their sound. It was dubbed the ‘Pics Only’ due to the
absence of any text, instead using pictures only on the front panel of
the amp. The OR50H owes more than a nod to this vintage legend; from the
method of its construction, to the blues and rock tone, and even the
cosmetics.
Featuring a traditional single
channel with a three stage gain section, the real weapon in the OR50′s
arsenal is the HF Drive control. This is two controls in one! As you
turn the control clockwise you will hear the power amp presence increase
while adding an extra dimension of power amp gain. Along with a
foot-switchable master volume, this is truly one of the most versatile
single channel amps ever created.
