From the off, the OR100’s classic vibe is evident, with its ‘Pics Only’ fascia paying tribute to our ‘Graphic’ models of the early 1970s. However, whilst the tones within are certainly at the vintage end of the spectrum, the OR100 caters for players searching for the ‘Holy Grail’ of ‘old-school’ British tone but with modern functionality.
This amp is the first model in the OR Series to feature two channels. The Clean channel is a non-master type, with a tight low end, plenty of headroom with a distinctive and unmistakably Orange character. The Dirty channel has three stages of gain, rich in upper harmonics, taking the amp from Classic Rock into vintage Thrash territory.
With a huge dynamic range, defined note separation and wealth of colourful gain textures the OR100 also features a valve buffered effects loop plus a switchable output section, varying the full 100 Watts down to 70, 50 and 30W. For added flexibility, the OR100 also sports a footswitchable gain boost on the Dirty channel, plus a footswitchable global boost which adds 3dB to either channel for an extra kick when you need it.

100 Watts of British Beef……It’s the ultimate amp. It’s versatile, it’s pure valve tone, and it’s gutsy enough to put a hole in a brick wall. It’s awesome.
Orange has really hit the tone jackpot here with the OR100H.
Orange’s considerable heritage and contemporary ingenuity distilled into a world beating pro valve head.
In terms of true overdrive and distortion, channel two’s range of flavors includes everything from Orange’s classic, gutsy grind and aggressive overtones to modern, super-heavy square waves of ball-kicking distortion. But the OR100H’s real magic lies in its connection to the player. It responds appropriately to every touch, always understands your intentions and continually opens up to reveal new and exciting sides of its personality. With two independent channels, multiple power options and a broad palette of midrange hues, the OR100H is the most versatile amp in Orange’s outstanding OR Series.
