The OR15H amplifier from Orange celebrates the sounds which originally defined the Orange company way back in 1972. This amp is based upon a 50w single-channel head with a very similar blues/rock crunchy sound. The “pics only” nickname comes from the styling of the front panel – true to the original amps that the OR15H is based upon, the panel features no text only images which describe the controls’ functions.

Introduced more recently, this 15w version of the original 50w head satisfies the demand for this kind of classic, vintage Orange tube tone in an amp with less wattage and a lower price. It’s ideal for guitarists who want the vintage Orange 70s sound in a compact package that will still sing at rehearsal and jamming volumes.

Here’s what Orange say about the OR15H Amplifier

In 1972 Orange launched an amp that defined their sound. It was dubbed the ‘Pics Only’ due to the absence of any text, instead using pictures only on the face plate of the amp.

The OR15H owes more than a nod to this vintage legend; from the method of its construction, the blues and rock tone, even the cosmetics. The new OR15H offers an alternative specification to the original 50w head for those looking for a 15-watt Class A guitar amp, still delivering the vintage Orange tone and for the first time offering the Pics only styling in a smaller package.

We stock a wide range from trusted brands, offering everything from clean tones to all-out distortion, perfect for home practice, recording, or live performance.

Head Amplifier

A head is the amplifier unit of a guitar rig that contains the electronics responsible for shaping and boosting your guitar’s signal. Unlike combo amps, a head does not include built-in speakers and needs to be connected to a separate speaker cabinet. This setup offers greater flexibility, allowing players to mix and match different heads and cabinets to tailor their tone and volume. Heads come in various types, including valve (tube), solid-state, and modelling, catering to a wide range of sounds and playing styles.

valve

Valve, also known as tube, refers to a type of amplifier technology that uses vacuum tubes to amplify the guitar signal. Valve amps are renowned for their warm, rich tone, natural compression, and smooth distortion when driven hard. Many players prefer valve amps because of their dynamic response and organic sound character. Although they require more maintenance and can be heavier than solid-state amps, valve amplifiers remain a favourite choice for professional musicians seeking classic tones and expressive performance.
