IMPORTANT! Before connecting your amplifier to a power source, please check the following:
1.
Ensure your speaker cabinet is connected to the correct speaker output impedance socket, using a good quality speaker cable. Do not
use guitar leads. (Head models only. The Rockerverb 50 Combo will have it’s speaker attached).
2.
Ensure that the voltage selector switch is set to the correct mains voltage.
When powering up your amplifier, switch to the ‘Standby’ position first and leave for two minutes before switching to the ‘On’ position. (This
will maximise the life of your valves).
If you are unsure about any of the above points please consult your Orange supplier.
Using the Clean Channel
The Volume control increases the Clean Channel output level of your amplifier. Turning the Volume control into it’s upper ranges will drive
the power valves and create a vintage style, overdriven poweramp tone.
The EQ section is interactive on this channel. When the Bass level is increased the mid frequencies are reduced, resulting in a phase shift on
the Treble control. Many different sounds can be achieved from this EQ system.
Using the Dirty Channel
The Dirty Channel on the Rockerverb uses four stages of valve gain. Depending on the position of the Gain and Volume controls, sounds
from Crystal Clean through British Crunch, to Ultra High Gain can be obtained. The 3-band EQ can be used to filter the overdrive and create
your own sound.
Reverb
Reverb is available on both channels. Experiment to achieve desired level.
