Orange Amplification has just dropped a bombshell for guitarists worldwide with the announcement of the Oriverb, a new signature combo amp designed in collaboration with the legendary Orianthi. Inspired by the revered Rockerverb MKIII 50 NEO, the Oriverb promises to deliver a fresh take on Orange’s iconic tone while capturing Orianthi’s unique and expressive playing style.
A Blend of Classic and Modern
At the heart of the Oriverb lies a potent combination of British-made Celestion Neo Creamback speakers and EL34 power tubes. This pairing ensures clarity, projection, and signature Orange responsiveness. The preamp section is equally impressive, boasting four ECC83/12AX7 and two ECC81/12AT7 tubes.
Extras
To add depth and versatility, Orange has included a foot-switchable spring reverb and a built-in attenuator that allows players to dial in tones from pristine cleans to saturated overdrives without disturbing the peace. A valve-driven effects loop preserves tone integrity, ensuring your pedals sound their best.
Orianthi’s Dream Amp
Orianthi herself is thrilled with the result: “Seeing this whole amp come to life has been a dream come true. It’s a beautiful amp that truly reflects my eccentric personality! I’m incredibly proud of the Oriverb and can’t wait for players to experience its magic.”
The Oriverb is not just about sound; it’s a visual masterpiece, too. Featuring a striking white, patterned Tolex covering, a classic black grill, and a gold-accented control panel, it’s a head-turner on any stage.
Despite its impressive features, the Oriverb is surprisingly lightweight thanks to a Baltic birch plywood cabinet, making it a practical choice for gigging musicians.
Guitar Bomb Verdict
While we haven’t had a chance to test the Oriverb yet, the specs are incredibly promising. This amp will likely deliver classic blues and rock tones, offering a rich, harmonic sound that perfectly complements Orianthi’s signature style.
For guitarists seeking a lightweight 2×12 combo with a classic Orange amp sound, the Oriverb is worth checking out.
