Orange Amplifiers Rocker 15 Terror 15W Tube Guitar Amp Head White

Capable of 0.5, 1, 7 or 15 Watts of output the Orange Rocker 15 Terror is the head only version of the enormously popular Rocker 15 Combo that moves seamlessly from the home, to the studio, to the stage. Finally, a small, two channel, bedroom-friendly all-valve amp that you can legitimately gig!

With the Rocker 15 set wide open, smaller venues are comfortably taken care. Thanks to the same beefy transformers as the combo version, the Rocker 15 has a remarkably potent delivery which takes full advantage of its EL84 output section. Even when scaling back the power, the amp’s tone stays fat and full, oozing warm valve compression and saturation without disturbing the neighbors.

Clever options aside, the Rocker 15 has real character – a twin-channel design with a twist. The Natural channel is a purist’s dream with just a single knob: Volume. Finely balanced and supremely playable, this channel is perfectly voiced to bring out the "natural" sound of the instrument under your fingers (or the pedals under your feet). The Dirty channel is a more familiar affair with controls for Gain, Volume and a three-band EQ section. Both channels are very sensitive to touch and playing dynamics, making Rocker 15 very versatile despite its straightforward, player-friendly layout.

The amp also features a proper, valve-driven effects loop for total purity from input to output. So, whether you need a rig for low-volume practicing, recording, or to be heard on the club circuit, the shape-shifting Rocker 15 will show itself to be the amp for every occasion.

From Bedroom to Headroom
Between the Rocker 15’s full and half power modes – plus the aptly named "Headroom/Bedroom" attenuator switch – the amp switches between 15, 7, 1 or even half a Watt. When in Bedroom mode, the circuit has been designed to retain the springiness and feel of valve amps, a sensation that often gets lost with some attenuator designs. The result is this Terror sounds and feels more like a big amp, even in the lowest power modes. This makes for great tones in the practice room or in the studio, with the option to step up a gear to full power 15 Watt mode for the stage.

Unique Twin-Channel Design
If you’ve ever wondered what your guitars or your pedals actually sounded like, the Rocker Series amps are a joy to play. The Natural channel features just one control for volume and is voiced for absolute transparency. Single coils ring out with true clarity and humbuckers sing with woody overtones. Cleaner settings produce clear, glistening tones whilst cranking the volume reveals a bluesy crunch that loves to be kicked harder with boost and overdrive pedals. Quite literally, you get out what you put in. The Dirty channel has a more traditional look with Gain, Master Volume and a three-band EQ. It too can be set on the cleaner side as a second rhythm sound, or dialed for various flavors of British grit for leads. (Optional FS-1 footswitch sold separately)

Engineered to be Played
For the best possible tone and durability, the Rocker 15 Terror uses the same proprietary transformers found in all of Orange's iconic Terror Series. Like the company's flagship valve amp heads, the Rocker 15 Terror does away with plastic connector blocks and ribbon cables in favor of hand-soldered flying leads. The chassis-mounted switchgear is secured to the classic Terror series enclosure. As for the amp’s effects loop, Orange opted to keep the signal path all-valve to preserve the amp’s tonal integrity.
