OR 15 H : Orange OR 15 H review

Orange OR 15 H is an all tube head in style of their other model Tiny Terror. It has the "pics only" visual design which I find to be very cool. The amp itself is very straight-forward. You have the controls for gain and volume as well as a three way Eq. The amp also features a tube buffered effects loop. You can run the amp in 7 or 15 watts depending how much headroom you will need.

The amp has the unique Orange-tone in it although it differs from the legendary amps back in the 60's and 70's. It sounds good even in bedroom levels but comes really alive when cranked. I think it has a huge amout of gain when turned the whole way up. I rarely turn the gain knob past 12 o'clock. The eq is pretty effective and versatile especially the middle control which easily gets you from scooped american style sound to more Marshallish midboosted growl.

It plays well with a lot of pedals and sounds sweet when boosted. I find the amp very dynamic and responsive which is what you expect from a good tube amp. The effects loop is a nice add-on which enables the use of reverb pedals in a more subtle way.

All in all a great amp for a reasonable price. Looks good, sounds good - what more do you need?
