An award-winning boutique festival, Black Deer has all the answers to the age old question of ‘what is Americana’? Taking place across three days at the stunning Eridge Park in Kent, Black Deer is a living, breathing demonstration of what broad-church Americana can be and offers a live soundtrack, across six dedicated stages, to this independent way of life. Band Of Horses, Kris Kristofferson, Neko Case, The Marcus King Band, Larkin Poe, Lucero, Brant Bjork and Fantastic Negrito are just some of the big names set to rock Black Deer in June… and there’s more to come. Over four million Brits will go to a music festival this year – but it’s only the thousands at Black Deer who will experience something startlingly original.
Black Deer Festival – Louise Roberts
Black Deer Festival 2019 will be held on 21/22/23rd June 2019 and have internationally acclaimed artists including Band of Horses, Marcus King and the legendary Kris Kristofferson already confirmed. With more acts yet to be revealed, this is an event not to be missed.
It involves making a decision that you didn’t really want to take, but it seems like there is no other choice. So you take the best available option.
Compromising on amplifier design is something we don’t do very well with at Orange. That’s why all our amps are analogue, no digital or modeling. It means you’re starting with a baseline tone that feels natural, detailed and sweet sounding.
Analogue Amplifier Clarity
The type of amplifier can make a huge difference, from the chiming transparency of analogue solid-state gear to the woolly mid-range tones of an all valve amp. That has a big impact when using outboard gear like pedals and modeling processors. Adding layers of tone or effects can create truly unique sounds, but that’s not always what people want. That all comes at the front end.
Imagine it’s like making standard curry base. It doesn’t matter what type of curry you make with that mixture, without paying close attention to those first steps, you won’t get what you’d expect.
That’s why we created a range of new amps with a specific set of characteristics so you don’t need to compromise. You can have your cake and eat it.
The Crisp
The brand new Pedal Baby 100 is specifically designed to produce a truly transparent clean sound to run your pedal boards through. Weighing in at only 3kg it has all the mojo you’d expect from a Class A valve amp inspired design, but without that sterile frigidity you’d expect from a digital Class D amplifier.
The front end is Class A FET technology, while the power section is class A/B, providing a solid-state analogue output. That means you get back all the dynamics, punch and natural sound that are missing from modern power amps; neutral but still flattering.
Now as any touring musician will tell you, there’s nothing quite like the semi-inflated balloon feeling you get when you fly out to a show and realise your travel amp is underwhelming quiet onstage.
Unlike many of small Class D amps, the Pedal Baby 100 is bridged and that makes a big difference.
Most Marshall or Orange cabs are 16 ohm, which means in real terms the Pedal Baby 100 gives you around 70-watt clean power, and 100 watts at 8 ohms. Many Class D amps will only produce 1/4 of the marketed power at 16 ohms and half the power at 8 ohms.
The Clean
In the 1950’s technology opened up a whole new opportunity for musicians especially when it came to clean tones. Tremolo reached maturity by 1963, and from that point onwards hit after hit used the effect in new creative and musical ways.
TremLord 30 captures that era perfectly. A 30w all valve guitar combo using EL84 valves, which gives the amp a middy vintage warmth to the clean channel, not to mention the additional headroom for your outboard gear. On the output side, the headroom/bedroom setting allows you to reduce the volume so you can drive the amp into its sweet spot.
Already quite different tonally from the ultra-crisp Pedal Baby 100, the TremLord 30 also features a two-spring reverb tank adding masses of splashy, crashy flavour, adding to that timeless clean tone.
What makes the TremLord 30 unique from other products on the market is the tremolo itself. There are two footswitchable speeds, so no need to make on amp adjustments; it just takes a click of the pedal to go from a smooth tremolo to a choppy ‘Riders on the Storm’ type effect.
The biggest twist though is the FX loop is being on the power amp section, which means you can run your FX after the Tremolo, putting that unique sound into your modern setup.
The Creamy
The classic Orange Amplifier clean sound has always been synonymous with a warm mid-tone that sounds creamy and thick; oozing with pure class. It’s an aural homograph, redefining the word filthy. It’s that sound you don’t just hear but you feel, faithfully representing the harmonics as they move from fingertips through to your speaker driver. To some that might be classed as adding colour, yet that’s far from the truth.
Our flagship AD30 has two separate signal paths, the clean channel is voiced in the traditional classic Orange voice whereas the second channel has a tighter bottom end with more gain and a quicker attack, more suited to artists that prefer their pedals to do all the work. Additionally, the valve rectifier produces natural compression that is responsive to your playing style, the perfect all-rounder amp for country pickers through to indie artists.
Since 2004 the Rockerverb (and now Rocker 32 combo) has transformed the ‘high gain’ amplifier market. It was adopted in the droves by metalheads from across the globe, artists such as Slipknot, Fall Out Boy, Evanescence and Mastodon. However, the amp is not a one trick pony.
The Rocker range is that timeless classic: vintage meets modern. Now in its third generation, the MKIII is the bastard grandson of an inspired idea, and once which now features a clean channel with a ‘chimey’ response and increased headroom. Even with the changes, it still retains that classic Orange Amplifier mojo.
Rounding up
Whether you’re looking for something that’s pure simplicity, designed to offer a specific texture or you’re just wanting to deliver that classic clean tone, there’s no denying the gleeful nature of plugging your guitar straight into an Orange Amplifier.
We take a lot of care and consideration during the design phase, matching how people are using their gear; driving home new blends, creating modern classic tones people will talk about for years to come.

Orange is well known as being the go to amp for anyone who wants distortion. From British Crunch to total filth. What people don’t associate with Orange is a clean sound and let me tell you, Orange does clean pretty bloody well actually and has done since the very earliest days. Remember, “Albatross” by Fleetwood Mac? Recorded using Orange Amps.
Let’s take a hard and heavy amp such as the Rockerverb 100. Favoured by artists like Jim Root of Slipknot and Brian “Head” Welch of Korn, you may have the impression that it’s distortion only but nothing could be further from the truth. The clean channel has an extraordinary amount of headroom making it a perfect platform for FX pedals. If FX aren’t your thing and you want chimey, bell like clarity – we’ve got you covered. Orange Amps Technical Director, Ade Emsley who is an afficionado of tone has designed even our high gain amps so that they clean up beautifully on the dirty channel too.
Of course, there are all sorts of clean. Perhaps you’re more of an “Edge of Breakup” clean kind of player. Once again, there’s an amp for you in the AD30HTC. Do you need to shape your tone more? OK Check out the TH30. See where I’m going with this?
Let’s be honest, an Orange Amp is always going to sound like an Orange Amp and when it comes to crunch and distortion, may I with all due modesty say we’re pretty damned good at it but that doesn’t mean we’re a one trick pony amp company. 2019 has seen the launch of some of the most innovative products Orange has ever produced and guess what – they do clean spectacularly well! The Tremlord 30 is our take on a vintage amp of the 50’s and is so clean, you could eat your dinner off it, while the Pedalbaby 100…Well it’s a power amp. What else would it do?
There are many amps out there that do clean superbly well and are better known than Orange for doing so but the next time you’re thinking about an amp for your cleans, bear Orange in mind. You’ll probably be very pleasantly surprised.

Steve Blanco with his OBC112
Your Name: Steve Blanco Country: USA What made you enter the Wish Granted competition? Because I love Orange amps. Where did you first hear about Orange Amps? Many years ago as a kid. I grew up with music in my life, and saw pictures in magazines, and of course on stage at shows. Some of my favorite players like Geddy Lee used them, and I have friends that have Orange amps. Have you ever owned any Orange products before? Yes. I own and tour with a Terror Bass 500 (old model) head, which has been all over the place with me on tour. I also have several Orange practice bass amps, and a small guitar amp. Anything else you’d like to say? I’m a fan of the Orange brand, not only because I think they are the most amazing sounding amps, but also because the way Orange has been able to remain true to its mission over the years. Sort of a blend of edgy and elegant, while maintaining integrity. Music is a powerful device in this universe, and the way my basses sound through my Orange amps are a testament to that power. Thank you!
When our marketing director asked me to write a blog post
comparing analogue vs digital amps, I have to admit that the first thing I did
was to turn around to see if he was talking to somebody behind me. Here at
Orange there are a number of very skilled musicians, many of whom are seriously
into their rigs and can not only play but also understand the technical side of
said rigs.
I do not fall into this category.
Don’t get me wrong – I love playing but the thing is, I’m
one of those people who have to work really hard to be mediocre and I’m really
not interested in all the bells and whistles, I just want to plug in and play.
First thing I needed to do was find out what the difference
is, so I had a chat with our techs. After they realised a primary (elementary)
school level explanation was required, we began to make progress and I can
summarise thusly:
Analogue guitar amps have a solid state, (transistors,
resistors, capacitors etc.) or valve pre-amp that produces the tone and a solid
state or valve power amp, which amplifies the signal and drives the speaker.
Digital guitar amps, use digital algorithms (complicated
mathematics) to produce the tone and a solid state power amp to amplify the
signal and drive the speaker. Digital amps therefore can theoretically
reproduce any sound you want. It’s just a case of rearranging the order of the
1s and 0s in the signal. Brilliant!
So why would anyone want an analogue amp? Surely, digital is
better. My digital TV is miles better than the old analogue signal I used to
get from my RF antenna. (If you don’t remember those, ask your parents.) Before
anyone starts, I realise reception and broadcast quality are different things,
I’m just making an analogy. No pun intended.
Well, it would appear in this case digital isn’t necessarily
better.
If you think about it, the signal going into your amp from
your guitar is analogue – it has to be, it’s the sound of a string vibrating.
The sound coming OUT of the speaker is analogue, again it has to be. We don’t
have digital processors in our ear’oles so we need a soundwave in the air to
vibrate our ear drum. So what’s the point of converting an analogue signal to
digital and back again? Surely that means that analogue gives you what a
digital amp is trying to emulate?
These thought experiments are all well and good but there’s
no substitute for giving them a try, so I did. I’m not going to name the amps I
tried, that’s not the point of this post – as I said at the beginning, I don’t
have any strong feelings either way but I did have fun with both amps.
The digital amp was a bit daunting at first. Lots of knobs
and lots of settings but once I sussed out what I was doing, I was able to dial
in a load of different sounds and had a jolly old time making some wonderful
noises much to the chagrin of the neighbours. The convenience of the digital
amp cannot be overstated. I could see how something like that would appeal to
gigging musicians hugely. There’s your tone, (or any other you may happen to
need) right there in a box. Beats having to cart a load of heavy gear around.
Awesome! How can analogue compete?
Pretty well as it turns out. As much as I enjoyed the
digital amp listening to the analogue amp made me realise that the digital amp
was quite sterile – on reflection, it was almost as if the amp was dictating
things.
I was wracking my brains try to think of a way to explain
what I meant by that and the only thing I could come up with was to imagine a
beautiful room full of expensive furniture but everything is white. The
analogue amp coloured some of the bits in.
I’m no amp reviewer, so I can’t use a load of flowery words
but it seemed to me that the analogue amp was as idiosyncratic as my playing.
There was a relationship between what I was trying to do and what came out of
the amp, that didn’t seem to be the case with digital. Also, I was able to just
plug my guitar in and play. No messing around, no working anything out just
instant fun.
I’m really not any wiser as to what’s better, all I know is
what I prefer and I preferred the analogue amp although I can totally see why
people would want to go for digital. The convenience and the ability to have
everything right there in one place is very desirable, it just isn’t for me.
As mediocre a player as I am, music is more about how it
makes you feel than it is about the technical side of things and for me the
analogue amp had feeling.
But hey, I’m not trying to convince anyone. What
do you think?

So Orange has released a new guitar amplifier, you are shocked right, an amp company releasing an amplifier! But the TremLord is something a little different for Orange.
The centrepiece of the amplifier is an all valve Tremolo, this is Orange’s take on the 1950’s amplifiers that used this effect to such acclaim.
This made me think one; what is tremolo and where will I have heard it before.
First, what is Tremolo?
Tremolo is simply put a modulation effect, it changes the volume of your signal at certain speed and depth. This is not to be confused with vibrato, which changes the pitch of the signal.
On the TremLord you can set two different speeds of tremolo and also the depth of the modulation. This means it’s perfect for use live with a footswitch.
Uses of Tremolo in Songs
Otis Redding – “A Change is Gonna Come”
This is the song that made me explore songs using tremolo, Otis Redding’s version of “A Change is Gonna Come” is a fantastic example. After the opening horn section the unmistakable tremolo guitar chords float in, which then stay throughout the whole song.
After this I dived headlong into finding more interesting and diverse song that used this effect, trying to find examples from across the musical spectrum and also the past 60 years.
Radiohead – “Bones”
Hearing “The Bends” for the first time I remember the raking sound of the tremolo on “Bones” being one of my favourite parts. It felt like the start of the band moving their sound away from the grunge sound of the first album. I chose a live version as it shows Jonny Greenwood using the effect throughout the song.
Rage Against the Machine – Guerilla Radio
Tom Morello is known for his unique use of effects and I think this was one of the first Rage Against the Machine songs I ever heard, I remember struggling to understand what that sound was! Heavily leaning on his trusty boss tremolo pedal the track has become a mainstay of the bands live performances and as the live footage shows it’s no wonder why.
Rolling Stones – “Gimme Shelter”
The lilting almost glassy sounding guitar intro to the track could be one of the most famous uses of the effect. This stone cold classic was released in 1969, sometimes I feel it gets forgotten about, as people remember “satisfactions” fuzzy tones more. But this for me is the Rolling Stones in a song and the guitar makes it.
The Smiths – “How soon is now?”
This couldn’t not be on the list, its so in your face the Tremolo effect. One of The Smiths most famous songs, this was actually originally a B-Side of the 1984 single “William, it was really nothing”. The original demo for the song was called “Swamp” which hardly surprising when you hear the song.
One thing I noticed while going through this is how many great songs that use this effect, I could have provided another 30-40 songs easily. So if you have any songs that you think I may have forgotten, please comment in the comments and I look forward to delving into even more tremolo songs!
