#4 JIM ROOT 

ENGLISH

 

THANK YOU! 

Thank  you  for  choosing  Orange.  You  are  now  a  member  of  the 
‘Legendary British Guitar Amplifier’ owners club!   

Since 1968 when the company was founded, Orange has been a 
pioneering force in the guitar amplification industry. Today, with 
a  team  of  the  world’s  finest  amplifier  engineers,  Orange 
continues  to  push  back  the  boundaries  of  conventional  tube 
amplifier design.  

Our  commitment  to  craftsmanship  and  quality  control  has 
allowed our amplifiers to stand the test of time, giving  their owners  as much pleasure now, as the day 
they  were  bought.  To  maintain  this  level  of  excellence,  each  Orange  amplifier  is  put  through  many 
rigorous test procedures before leaving the factory.   

The  warmth,  tonal  quality  and  rich  harmonics  generated  by  a  valve  ampli fier  cannot  be  reproduced  by 
‘artificial’  means.  Many  guitarists  have  reached  the  same  conclusion:  neither  the  transistor  nor 
microchip is a suitable alternative to valve technology.  

This booklet contains valuable technical and safety information Please t ake the time to read this manual 
as  the  information  may  enhance  the  sound  and  performance  of  your  amplifier.  We  are  confident  that 
you will be delighted with your new purchase and that it will provide you with many years of enjoyment.
