All user reviews for the Orange Rocker 30

Pure Class A, yeah baby yeah!
Everything is in the title means 30C Combo 30W right?

Two Channels
3-band EQ
Stand by a small
Channel selector
No effect.
Those who love the amps simple (not simplistic) as I will be delighted!

UTILIZATION

We can not be simpler.
Sound with a capital is the result of the EQ is quite limited, but there is the sound the guitar with this amp, not the amp itself. Need a good scratch. I use it with a tlcaster and a Les Paul Standard, and following the guitar, the amp is mtamorphos!
It's hyper-aggressive on the fender, the playing lgrement channel gain sat ', and the volume of the guitar, we get a really sound that hard ears.
With the Les Paul, it's sweet will. Rendering low frequencies is trs correct for an amp of this size. No manual, of course, because no useful!

SOUNDS

See above
It sounds great for a small combo. He sends good! J'emmettrai however a small nuance of opinion on the BTE. Coupled with a good 4x12 cabinet''was at all the same amp, it starts pter hard, trs fort, and there was no desire to return to the Son Combo, found electrical and hair by hair a little more ... So ... Skip the MODEL above might be justification ..

OVERALL OPINION

See above
As indicated above, the two bodies MODEL must be frankly a rgal, ds we had a small glimpse of this thing sound coupled a 4x12''
It is a great amp in the studio is a real treat, very simple to use, big sound on (if you have a good scratch)
I would do this choice, and with a budget lgrement above, may be I would take the great ERRF!

All adj t say this in the comments previous ones, but hey:
At the base: 3 pramp lamps and 2 power tubes while the Class With a 30-watt dbourrent STRID ...
The equipment is very basic:
- Canal clean = 1 volume knob is all
- Canal + dirty = gain that. 3-band + volume
- An instrument jack, a footswitch jack, what cbler to a speaker 8 or 16 ohms
- No rverb
- No effects loop
- The beast does not come with footswitch (the top, a little Orange abuse)
But what has he got to him what Rocker 30C? Well Logan What's the essential information: ** No one was able to damn good sound!
Add the design is robust: nothing Exceeds the heavy box, all connections are vertically and horizontally the indoor lights above the Celestion Vintage 30 speaker.
I put 6 for once because the report equipment / price is not the best, but we will see that the simplicity of this amp, may also be one of his greatest qualities!

UTILIZATION

Well, we have seen, no need to be polytechnicien to use the Orange thing.

on the other hand, if I maintain that this amp is a killer because he is well suited my main guitar: a Gibson Les Paul Standard with the original pickups. I tried the same amp with a good rquipe Yamaha humbuckers that sounded like a Mylen a sheet of plywood ... Nothing to see, a c'tait dsastre! So try before you buy with your personal guitar since the Rocker 30, ide of the "couple" instrument-amp is more critical than any other amp! Especially as I recall, the clean channel does not forgive since it has no legalization.

Otherwise, how happy do you: so few buttons to grind, has enchanted me, as for the effects. Some quick handling and hop, was quick to find a suitable rglage. As for the manual, I never had, but shear a tree to make a book about this amp is a useless ... !

SOUNDS

Friends fans of rock n 'roll, well hello! You will be able to scan much of the style in terms of sound: the clean clear to crunch up the good disto families oats sec. We often hear: "Orange, aa good vintage sound." Okay but not that ... Must rcouter guys! Well, by destination, it's not an amp for the death or nomtal agree, but without laughing, you can give in the heavy-metal classic carefree! It's a bit more than just a non-vintage?

The clean channel is clean. Further than the Marshall but also less bright as Fender, for example: it is between the two. Attention rverb not so Thurs prcis a must! I feared also the lack of reverb. Then finally, not really need. With a good scratch, sounded great. I wonder when even always how Orange could Squizz reverb 30w bulbs on a combo! I would not spit on it!
The dirty is a bte! It has to be Orange achte elsewhere. Drop your pedals for distortion with this thing. 1st half of the race of the gain knob: the lightweight proper crunch of the overdrive. From half on the attack with a disto srieux the AC / DC. To 2 / 3 of the race, with the Les Paul, I have a damn good rock sound, just what it takes bold bold but always hyper and frankly prcis "couillu". From the 3 / 4 gain, I find personal, the sound becomes lgrement drooling because he really won "fat". The DJ can send very heavy. Well, it's not the Rammstein sound, but it is far more than most people imagine from an Orange. A slip-clean boost in front, or overdrive, you'll see, you'll be surprised rendering! Adding that the lamp, therefore, is dynamic wish: to play on the attack mdiator or the volume knob of scratching and presto, you can qualify it all with a great efficiency.
Add a good wah before the front and the cavalry!

Playing rock that takes sometimes well supported on the punk (broad influences: Black Desir, NOFX, Feeder, Die Toten Hosen ...), this amp is perfect for me! Attention, I prcise however, that this is not the most versatile amp in the world unlike what some say in DMOS video. Nan is to send the pure NILM your game good clear sound. Trs is not suited funk. But in its class, the Rocker 30 is monstrous. I love it. Never had one like him before!

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for 6 months and I had the opportunity to do some gigs with. The guys from other groups of heads bouncing around Marshall or Mesa 4x12 + ... They t smashes by the couple's Les Paul / Rocker 30. 30 watts, has a sci their legs for that matter! At the same time, it's more than enough: I'm far from playing on scnes than 30 meters wide! So what good is a 100 watts I Never operate the power. Dj that push the Rocker 30 is almost infeasible, imagine! My volume knob up dirty lgrement pass the course of 1 / 4 of its travel at a good concert hall full of sound. It remains a sacred room!

Wanting a simple amp to use (billions of exit channels and extension ranges of knobs that spin me hives) with a good distortion, power and personality usable sound (just a yes) I tried various things: Marshall Vintage Modern and JVM, Peavey, Laney, Crate etc ... And one day, a small Orange Tiny Terror head. It was the rvlation! J'tais rest on the fact that Orange has sounded "vintage" what everyone said. Well look, considerably more than a yes! I Rocker dgot a try with my 30 Les Paul and presto, magic perfect for the style zik 'my group. I ordered by mail for 1100 euros including shipping.

Well, Orange, is expensive. It is even possible that the level config / price, the Rocker 30 is frankly misplaced in its class. The firm could have split the footswitch this rate. Yes this amp is basic, it is not super versatile, yes it is orange and I felt lousy when a limit even to beginners! DEFINITIONS and I now find a classy originality, especially thanks to the sound I get and who "kills his race" (I'm not the only one to say it!). It is special and unique. It is impractical to try YOUR SCRATCH before slamming biftons. But if you want, this amp is a great traveling companion whose sober and the efficiency will always know you and you rgaler thunder. Personally, I find the sound! And I'm not prt of change!

ben ca dizzy so missing button and connections, but it has a mouth !!!!!!!!!!!! extraordinary power of 30 watts posted means nothing and it is hard to compare with All tube more powerful effect level queudal mm y no EQ for the clean! then if you want to put the pedal will fork out and set the analog and very good (true bypass) mm and yet he loves too much ... well you are still here? happens because the best

UTILIZATION

then!! mm without a brain you've got a good sound !!!!!

SOUNDS

it looks like nothing else ,.... forget what you know so plain that disto ... it kills nothing to add

OVERALL OPINION

it seems expensive but ultimately saw the quality is a very good value for money, I bought every resurection!!

Lamp 3 12AX7 and 2 EL34.

Cab plywood very strong.


UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple, given the poverty settings. Perfect sense since we will not take the head.

SOUNDS

The sound is quite clear and effective neutral setting but not when it sounds this good.

The saturation has a 3 band eq which does the job without any change at all in the tone of what it leaves arranged.
Grain level is hoarse, accurate, pretty aggressive with good dynamics.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week, I tried some other amps before this one and frankly it has real sound quality, it grows well has a saturation effective.
Another remarkable point, it is served by a quality cab. I tried on a small H & K cab with a celestion G12H30 I own, the sound becomes less clear is more directive.

After it has still some flaws, apart whether minimalist, which is not necessarily a fault, the main objection to him is I think it's his behavior on the crunch, both on large saturation that kills, so it is not really possible to get a slight crunch is soft. AC

This is a pretty well-respected tube amp, made by Orange Amps. It only really has the 1/4" input, as its the combo version. There are no other external speaker outputs. There are 30 watts of power delivered to this guy. The interesting thing about it is that it has 2 channels, natural (clean) and dirty (distorted). However, the natural channel only has one knob, for volume. The dirty channel has volume, gain, and EQ.

UTILIZATION

Getting a good sound out of this, as an acquaintance of mine put it, is easy...if you're a good guitar player with a good guitar. If you don't have a good guitar, or aren't a good guitar player, it won't sound good at all. That's kind of a raw deal, especially since no guitar player really wants to think that he or she isn't good. This is especially true of the clean channel, which has no eq or anything. If that tone is specifically what you want then this is fine, if not, you're out of luck. There's slightly more variety with the dirty channel, but it's still rather limiting. Fortunately for me, I am a good guitar player with a good guitar, so I love this amp! But I recognize its limitations.

SOUNDS

I like this amp the best with the Les Paul. It's not that impressive with a Fender, except on the clean channel, but even then, the natural brightness of my Strat is too much for it. This is when I wish I could EQ the clean channel. Anyways, with the Les Paul, I could easily get a great clean and dirty sound. In fact, my favorite sound is when the clean channel is pushed to the limit, as it produces a very 60s sounding Garage-rock/British rock tone similar to The Who and the Yardbirds. When plugged in, this amp recalls the classic tones of the early 70s and gets super heavy. It really manages to wipe the floor with most amp distortion. I definitely am very impressed with the raw power of this amp. However, it is a bit predictable, and getting a wide range of tones from it is not easy, which is why I tend to prefer pedal distortion nowadays.

OVERALL OPINION

I think that this is a great-sounding amp, and I know that there are many players out there who wouldn't need any other amp (there was a time when I myself fit this description). I think that mostly, my beef lies with how little versatility it has. There is no room for anyone who plays anything other than classic rock era stuff. Therefore, I wouldn't personally get much use out of it. I think that many people would enjoy it, though, and it's been popular enough to warrant that assumption. Check it out if my description interests you.

(Originally written by gp54/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
30-watt tube amp with three 12AX7 preamp tubes and two EL34 power tubes. One input, two channels. The clean channel only has a volume control. The dirty channel has a gain control and a 3-band EQ. The combo has a standby switch to warm up the tubes. It has one 16 ohm speaker output, two 8 ohm speaker outputs and a footswitch connector for channel selection.

It's a simple and effective amp but I miss an FX loop (like on the Rockerverb 50).

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use: power on the amp, wait until the tubes are warm and start playing! The amp provides a good natural sound, you really have to try to get a bad sound. No user's manual but you won't need it!

SOUNDS

I play with a Gibson Les Paul Classic and a Fender Strat Highway One and the sound is great. This amp provides a real good sound considering its size.

The clean channel sounds transparent. The sound starts to crunch with the volume control set to 5, if you use humbucker pickups. With single coils, the sound starts to crunch when you set the volume to 7 or 8. I haven't tested it with distortion pedals but I can't imagine it could sound bad.

The dirty channel is THE reason I bought this amp. The response ranges from slight crunch to straight rock sound. I'm sure the gain of this channel isn't enough for heavy metal players, but they can still get their favorite sound using a good distortion pedal with the clean channel. The sound is really excellent. It has a lot of presence and huge dynamics I had never heard before!

The gain control is also great because the dirty channel starts to crunch you set it to 3-4 and it gets really wild when you get to 6. If you set it to 3 you get ZZ Top's La Grange sound, at 5 you get AC/DC, and at 6 you get Airbourne! The sound range is very wide. You'll get the best results with 80's and 90's rock. The frequency response is well-balanced and it provides strong low-mids which help your instrument to cut through the mix.

You'll have to crank it up if you want to get the most value out of it: a killer sound! But you can also play at home thanks to the very responsive master control.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for two months and it's a really good product. I bought it because of Orange's reputation. I'm a believer!

I like this amp a lot for its sound character and its huge dynamics.

I previously tested many tube amps: Marshall JVM, Laney, Vox AC, etc., but if you're looking for a pure sound and a huge dynamic response, I strongly recommend you Orange!

For me, the value for money is good because I bought when the price was dropping! Now that the price is up again, I still find the value for money is good considering the quality of the product.

Of course I would buy it again. But if I had more money I would choose the Rockerverb 50...
