Hey – Alex here (AR Manager). Once again Dan (Euro AR) couldn’t be bothered to edit his grammar. I took care of that but, seriously, look at the dude’s descriptions below. Is he even trying anymore? My favorite line is this one: “…they have something different about them I can’t put my finger on.” My […]
The Orange VT1000 is the world’s first fully automatic, portable, digital valve tester. That’s rad because valve testers used to look like this: It takes the VT1000 about 2 minutes to test a preamp or power valve and get a rating of good, worn, or fail. You can also use the 1 through 10 rating […]
Alex here. I was too busy doing a video shoot to add any bands to this month’s roundup. Dan’s picks are below. I had to do SO MUCH grammatical editing and there’s only like 10 sentences. DAN: Turn on your auto-correct in Word. The Beths – Little Death The Beths are a band from Auckland, […]
So you’ve heard these questions before but when did you start playing guitar? Well my grandfather was a guitar player and my father is as well. My great grandfather played the fiddle. I just grew up playing music. So, your father played professionally? Yeah. He still does. He was on the road his entire life. […]
With season 2 of Orange’s original series “How to Void Your Warranty” almost upon us, let’s take a moment to reflect on the shenanigans of season 1 (“Hey, Farva!”). Season 1 revolves around “Rob” (from our service department) demonstrating unique, and sometimes not-so-obvious, ways to destroy your Orange product, thereby voiding your warranty. I personally […]
Alex’s Picks (AR Manager) Courtney Barnett – Tell Me How You Really Feel I’m so mad we don’t have Orange gear on Courtney’s stage. Someone help us fix this immediately. She is the current lord goddess of women rockers. The Sloppy Boys – Lifelong Vacation It’s punk. It’s rock. True to the name it’s […]
Orange hasn’t been to Summer NAMM as an official exhibitor in almost a decade. The show started to get really small back in 2010 (especially when compared to Winter NAMM in Anaheim) and it has only recently started to recover. Instead of exhibiting we decided to host a VIP cocktail party at our Orange Nashville […]
Every month our Artist Relations managers, Alex and Dan, submit their 3 favorite artists or bands they’ve been listening to recently. These are bands that might or might not be endorsed by Orange. If they’re not endorsed, it’s probably because they play some other manufacturer’s amps. We don’t fault them for that, but we do […]
From an Artist Relations perspective, the AD200B bass amp is one of the best weapons in my arsenal. It’s an amp with extremely pure bass tone, lots of clarity no matter how you’ve set the knobs, and it’s overdrive is a perfect blend of classic and modern. I’ve had hundreds of artists make the switch […]
USA Welcome to Rockville I’m actually driving the backline for Quicksand down to Jacksonville for this festival. That means I’m getting an artist pass. And that, my friends, means I’m just one step closer to my ultimate goal: side stage for Queens of the Stone Age. I’m also stoked for Red Fang and Clutch. And […]
