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&#39;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&#39;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 &#39;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&#39;s not an amp for the death or nomtal agree, but without laughing, you can give in the heavy-metal classic carefree! It&#39;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&#39;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&#39;ll see, you&#39;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&#39;s Les Paul / Rocker 30. 30 watts, has a sci their legs for that matter! At the same time, it&#39;s more than enough: I&#39;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&#39;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 &#39;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&#39;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&#39;m not prt of change!
