OBC210 Mini

MINI IN SIZE, BIG ON SOUND

The OBC210 Mini combines portability, solid construction and a highly versatile range of tones suitable for any number of styles. Housing a pair of 10” Eminence Legends in a neatly proportioned, rear-ported 15mm birch plywood shell, the cab bears all sonic the hallmarks of a classic 2×10” cab.

Midrange frequencies are pronounced yet detailed, whilst the highs have a smooth and satisfying character. More surprising, though, is the low end clout. Despite its extremely compact stature, the OBC210 Mini manages to retain a warm and defined bass response, with a depth and assertiveness that will shock even the fussiest 5-String players.

Key Features

Compact Design

OBC210 Mini is our smallest ever ‘conventional’, non-isobaric OBC cabinet, cleverly designed to give maximum punch from the smallest available space. Constructed from birch plywood, the cab’s highs have a natural presence, whilst the rear baffle is ported for increased low end response. The choice of material creates a well balanced and highly resonant enclosure, which also features our signature skid runners on the base to acoustically couple the cabinet to the stage.

Eminence Legend Speakers

Tried and tested on the road in a number of our other OBC cabinets, the two 200W Eminence 10″ drivers are a perfect fit for the new cabinet design.  They deliver a rich low end and great midrange clarity.

Daisy Chaining

The OBC210 Mini features two Speakon connectors for ‘daisy-chaining’ to another cab of the same impedance for a total load of 4 Ohms. The cab’s dimensions allow the OBC210 Mini to sit comfortably on top of our OBC410H or OBC115 to create a smart looking stack which pushes some serious air.

OR100

Classic Orange Tone Meets Modern Design

From the off, the OR100’s classic vibe is evident, with its ‘Pics Only’ fascia paying tribute to our ‘Graphic’ models of the early 1970s. However, whilst the tones within are certainly at the vintage end of the spectrum, the OR100 caters for players searching for the ‘Holy Grail’ of ‘old-school’ British tone but with modern functionality.

This amp is the first model in the OR Series to feature two channels. The Clean channel is a non-master type, with a tight low end, plenty of headroom with a distinctive and unmistakably Orange character. The Dirty channel has three stages of gain, rich in upper harmonics, taking the amp from Classic Rock into vintage Thrash territory.

With a huge dynamic range, defined note separation and wealth of colourful gain textures the OR100 also features a valve buffered effects loop plus a switchable output section, varying the full 100 Watts down to 70, 50 and 30W. For added flexibility, the OR100 also sports a footswitchable gain boost on the Dirty channel, plus a footswitchable global boost which adds 3dB to either channel for an extra kick when you need it.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT

Never again pay a tech to rebias your amp’s power valves. DIVO OV4 featuring TubeSync technology makes that possible.

DIVO (dee vo) OV4 automatically adjusts the bias of your power valves to ensure their full potential is realised. It monitors your amp’s performance and isolates faulty valves during failures, running at half power until the valves can be changed. Experiment with different valves [tubes] in each socket without modifying the amp. DIVO even increases the lifespan of your power valves! Don’t go dead on stage ever again…DIVO makes that possible.

Built into an aluminium case about the size of a small paperback, the OV4 module comes with both a bracket and strong industrial Velcro fixings.

Once set, the OV4 continually micro-adjusts the bias current for each individual valve, keeping the amp running at peak efficiency. It also means that you can run any combination of standard octal power valve you like, although pairs, such as 6L6s and EL34s are more useful.

With no audio present, the OV4 can automatically drop the bias current to a lower setting to reduce wear and tear, instantly returning to its higher level when audio is detected.

In the event of a valve fault, an algorithm shuts off the affected pair automatically and remembers which valves are at fault, displaying them on warning LEDs, as well as in the software, while also keeping a record of how many hours use the amp has had, both with and without audio.

The jack socket connects to a standard footswitch letting you switch the amp from full power (all four valves on) to half power, moreover the ‘share the wear’ function remembers which pair of valves were switched off the last time and alternates them, keeping wear as even as possible, although if you use two different pairs of valves, such as 6L6s and EL34s, you can use this as a tone option, swapping from one pair to the other.

The DIVO OV4 is also available for amplifiers with only 2 valves.

The DIVO Self Fit Kit is appropriate for most Class A/B fixed bias amplifiers fitted with octal output valves (with anode voltages of 500V or less) This is not compatible with ultra-linear Twin Reverb Amplifiers. However, please contact info@omec.com for more information on the DIVO’s compatibility with your amplifier, before making your purchase through your Orange dealer. The End User Interface is also included free of charge with any DIVO OV4 purchase to enable custom configurations for your amplifier.

OUR ROCKERVERB WITH ENGINE MANAGEMENT

The Rockerverb 100H MKII DIVO Embedded comes with the awesome DIVO system pre-installed.

All Valve, channel-switching amplifier with ultra-transparent effects loop and valve-driven reverb. The Rockerverb 100 MKII Head DIVO utilises a two stage clean channel with a four stage dirty channel.

The Clean Channel delivers a super rich clean tone with beautiful harmonic overtones. It is a non-master channel, much like vintage Orange amps, and when cranked the power section breaks up faster, delivering the most classic British crunch imaginable.

The Dirty Channel has four stages of unadulterated filth, but it is NOT a one-trick pony. Move the Gain knob from 0 to 10, and as you do you’ll find a variety of Orange tones, from metal to fusion, rock to blues…there’s even some country in there.

What is DIVO and what does it do?

– DIVO is a new component that overcomes many of the problems associated with conventional tube amplification. DIVO addresses these problems without changing the fundamental valve amplification process, hence the resulting sound output still exhibits that pure analogue magic

– Eliminates the need for bias current matching of amplifier output valves, this increases manufacturing efficiencies.

– Eliminates the need to purchase valves in ‘matched pairs’ and replaces conventional biasing components.

– Automatically micro-adjusts the bias on each valve to ensure the full potential of each valve in the system is realised throughout its working life.

– Replaces conventional valve testing methods by performing an ‘in circuit’ test every time the amplifier is powered up

– If DIVO detects a faulty valve, it can automatically ‘switch out’ the offending valve and run the amp at half power, until the defective valve can be replaced

– Dynamically measures the amplitude of the drive signals supplied to the grids of each output valve and optimises performance accordingly.

– Maintains the classic warm sound of the amplifier by ensuring valve distort symmetrically

– Reduces quiescent power consumption when compared to conventional amplifier biasing techniques by an average of 20%.

– DIVO knows the optimum operating temperature of your valves, so there is no need to warm up your amp. DIVO will get you to where you need to be just as soon as you start playing.

Rockerverb 100 MKII

TWO STAGE CLEAN CHANNEL WITH FOUR STAGE DIRTY CHANNEL

You asked, we listened! The Rockerverb MK II 50 and 100 watt amps have everything you expect from the Orange Rockerverb but with improved functionality.

Improvements include:

• Mid EQ control on clean channel
• More transparent FX loop
• Larger, more usable reverb with additional ECC83 preamp valve to power it
