By Orange Forum Admin, Billy Claire Healthy? Unhealthy? Who’s to say – you decide! It all started around 1978. I had been playing guitar for nine years and had gone through a Montgomery Ward amp; a Sound Electronics amp; an Ampeg VT-22; and had just recently purchased two Marshall Superleads and two Marshall 4X12 cabinets […]

I’d like to introduce a new feature to the Orange blog. We’re calling it “Orange Are People Too,” because while its easy to imagine Orange employees as part-dragon, part-Jeep demigods, we’re actually just sentient beings that wear clothes and shop for groceries and fly and breathe fire and have built-in 4×4 traction control technology……just like […]

Fast forward to present day and the modern guitarist is bombarded with just about every effect imaginable (and some that are not). So what do they all do? This edition of the […]

Real country rockers (we say “real” because we’re comparing them to fakes) and Orange Ambassadors, Blackberry Smoke performed a very special 4 song acoustic set at our UK retailer PMT Manchester.
