THANK YOU!

Thank you for choosing Orange. You are now a member of the

‘Legendary British Guitar Amplifier’ owners club!

Since 1968 when the company was founded, Orange has been a

pioneering force in the guitar amplification industry. Today, with

a team of the world’s finest amplifier engineers, Orange

continues to push back the boundaries of conventional tube

amplifier design.

Our commitment to craftsmanship and quality control has

allowed our amplifiers to stand the test of time, giving their owners as much pleasure now, as the day

they were bought. To maintain this level of excellence, each Orange amplifier is put through many

rigorous test procedures before leaving the factory.

The warmth, tonal quality and rich harmonics generated by a valve ampli fier cannot be reproduced by

‘artificial’ means. Many guitarists have reached the same conclusion: neither the transistor nor

microchip is a suitable alternative to valve technology.

This booklet contains valuable technical and safety information Please take the time to read this manual

as the information may enhance the sound and performance of your amplifier. We are confident that

you will be delighted with your new purchase and that it will provide you with many years of enjoyment.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is

intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated ‘dangerous voltage’

within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a

risk of electric shock to persons. Terminals labelled as

“Speaker Outputs” must be connected to a speaker cabinet of the designated

load rating using an un-shielded two conductor cable for speaker use at all times

during operation

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle and "WARNING" are

intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating instructions.

Failure to heed the instructions will result in severe injury or death.

• Keep these instructions.

USING YOUR AMPLIFIER

Mains Fuse:

T1 Amp for 100v. (Japan Only)

T1 Amp for 120v.

T500MA for 230v.

IMPORTANT!

For countries or regions with a mains voltage of 115v or 120v, please switch the small, red

mains selector to 115v or 120v and replace the fuse in the black pull out fuse tray, below the

mains inlet, with the 120v version supplied.

For countries or regions with a mains voltage of 230v, please switch the small, red mains

selector to 230v and replace the fuse in the black pull out fuse tray, below the mains inlet,

with the 230v version supplied.

FEATURES

1. Connect the amplifier to a speakercabinet of the correct impedance.

Connect 1 x 16ohm cabinet to the 16ohm speaker output jack socket.

Connect 1 x 8ohm cabinet to either of the 8ohm speaker output jack socket.

Connect 2 x 16ohm cabinets to both of the 8ohm speaker output jack sockets.

2. Connect the amplifier to a mains supply of the correct voltage as marked on the amplifier.

Make sure that the HALF/STBY/FULL output switch is in the Standby (middle) position before

switching the powerswitch to the ON position.

3. GAIN CONTROL.

The gain control adjusts the gain. High levels of gain will heavilyoverdrive the pre-amp and may

sometimes be uncontrollable, especiallywhen used at high volume levels!

4. BASS CONTROL

The Bass control adjusts the level of bass after the pre-amp stages and before the FX Loop.

5. MIDDLE CONTROL

The Middle control adjusts the level of midrange after the pre-amp stages and before the FX

Loop.

6. TREBLE CONTROL

The Treble control adjusts the level of treble after the pre-amp stages and before the FX Loop.

7. VOLUME CONTROL.

The volume control adjusts the output volume.

High levels of volume will heavily overdrive the output stage.

ENGLISH

8. OUTPUT SWITCH. (HALF/STBY/FULL)

The output switch (found next to the power switch on front of amplifier) runs the valves at a low

plate voltage (reducing output power) in the HALF position and at a higher plate voltage

(increasing output power) in the FULL position.

The middle position is the standby position.

This switch should be in the standby position for around two minutes afterfirst powering up the

amplifier!

9. EFFECTS LOOP SEND AND RETURN JACK SOCKETS.

The effects loop, send and return jack sockets are intended for use with outboard pedals or rack

equipment such as delay, reverb and chorus etc.

Effects such as wah-wah, fuzz, distortion etc, would probably be best placed between the guitar

and amplifier input.

The effects loop is wired in series with the pre-amp signal and is completely valve driven.

10. VALVES.

The OR15 contains 3 x 12AX7 (ECC83) and 1 x 12AT7 (ECC81) in the pre-amp and effects loop

and 2 x EL84 in the output stage.

11. HT FUSE. (T250MA)

Please contact a qualified servicetechnician if this fuse fails!
