Two Channels, Lots of Tone

Your Rockerverb 50 MKII amp head comes ready to rock with two separate channels of pure Orange tone. Your clean channel takes your playing and pumps it through four ECC83 preamp tubes and four EL34 power amp tubes for a rich, well-rounded sound with punchy lows and powerfully present mids and highs. Your signal leaves this powerhouse of an amp via Orange's unique Reverse Snake 8 output transformer design.

Easy Versatile Controls

This baby's front panel is laid out in a non-perplexing simple display that gives you a lot of tonal options to play around with. With a master reverb control, a volume and gain control for your dirty channel, and a volume control for your clean channel, you'll find an almost endless array of tone available from this baby. Your dirty and clean channels both sport their own set of three-band EQ controls, so you can dial in your personal preferences for each read more channel without one channel's settings interfering with the other's.

Orange's Cool Look

If you're a guitarist, then you know Orange's inimitable sound. But Orange's gear has its own particular look too, and you know it right away when you see it. This head is dressed in that classic orange-colored vinyl with a distinctive white front panel with pictures and words delineating each control's function. Orange's immediately recognizable name appears on the top left side of your amp head's front panel. Either by its sound or by its image, everyone will know you're playing a serious tool of rock when you plug this baby in and fire it up.

The dual-channel Orange Rockerverb 50 MKII amp head offers an enhanced valve FX loop and unbelievable redesigned valve driven reverb. This amp rocks hard with one of the smoothest and cleanest two stage clean channels with a unique power valve overdrive with a middle EQ added to the bass and treble controls. The four stage dirty channel provides versatile distortion from a fluent clean chime to classic rhythm and crunch tones with the unmatched Orange character.

Features:

- 50 Watts of pristine guitar audio

- Transparent, enhanced valve FX loop with two ECC81 valves
- Improved reverb tone with unmatched sound quality

The quartet of EL34 output valves and the exclusive F8 output transformer design help give the Rockerverb 50 MKII its uncompromising tone.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
love the cleans and obviously, the gain on this thing! very simple to use. efx loop is excellent, reverb is nice and can get very spacey. the eq is rad too! the amp is much better at bedroom volume than the reviews i read prior to purchase. overall excellent. have to give 4 stars on value because an amp at this price range should come with a footswitch. really, it exceeds stupidity that it does not. this amp does all that i ask of it and then some. i also own a dual terror which i love as well. i am a commited orange amps player for life.
Sound
you know that " sound in your head" thing? well this amp takes me to that place.
Ease of Use
out of the box plug and play this amp was immediately great, and with some simple minor adjustments out came love.
Quality
well built, solid and i cannot forsee any issues because of construction.
Value
like i mentioned before, the fact that i have to pay 2k for an amp and they dont include a $40 footswitch...stupid. in every other regard, an excellent value!!!
