Powerful, Clear, Unparalleled.

As a metal guitarist looking for my first gig-worthy amp I was mindful not to sound like everyone else, which meant avoiding Marshall and modern USA high gain amps. Three of my most influential guitarists (Jim Root, Brent Hinds and Brian Welch) all use Orange amps, which got me looking.

I settled on the Rockerverb 50 Mk II and I'm glad that I did. The clean channel on this amp is crystal clear rivaled only by that of a Fender. It's rich and fat sounding, with tone all over the spectrum; huge bottom end, bright mids and soaring highs. The dirty channel is amazing. As you turn up the gain you start at a very clean bluesy tone. As you head towards 3 you're entering blues lead territory. Towards 5 we're now in typical garage rockband, think ACDC. Turning the gain to 6-7 you're starting to get that typical thrash metal tone, early days Metallica. From here the amp gets a bit out of hand and unless you have a good noise gate(s) you're going to have a bad time. The Rockerverbs true tone has only been used by one band (that I know of) which is Slipknot. To dial in a Jim Root Slipknot tone, crank the gain to 9-10 and adjust volume to taste. Obviously the louder the better.

The only 'Con' this amp has is it's typical British dirty channel noise - that combination of high gain hissing and harmonic hum that seems relentless. But luckily for you I have found the answer! applause The ISP Decimator II G-String. This pedal has a guitar IN/OUT to sense your line input, as well as a separate circuit for the amps effects loop. When it gates the guitar line, it also gates the effects loop, removing the pre-amp hiss/hum that affects us all. Unfortunately, the only thing that the Decimator can't mute is the girlfriend, but that's what the volume knob is for.

“Over the years every time I would see an Orange amp I would think “ Wow! That thing looks really cool”. But for some reason, mainly my excellent ability to slack off, I just never got around to trying one out. Then last summer while starting up a European tour I was given a list of amps that were available and noticed the one I was currently using was not on the list. I decided to take every head on the list and after a day of driving everyone nuts with my signature amp testing style (A blend of terrible blues licks and A power chords) it was clear that the Orange Rockerverb was going in the truck for the tour. When we started rehearsals for our current tour we were in a small room so I just plugged in a Rockerverb combo to get started. By the end of that first day everyone had taken notice of how great this amp sounded. It was also so much fun to play through. This is now my favorite amp that I have ever owned. I’m getting every sound that I have ever wanted out of my guitar now. This may be the last amp I will ever need. ”

In this youtube video of a Jesu/Sun Kil Moon performace Justin Broadrick is seen using an Orange Rockerverb MKII. It is unclear if it is the 50 or 100 watt edition. At 0:05 note what appears to be two lines of text in the upper right of the amplifier face and the larger width of knobs arranged in a single row indicating a Rockerverb. The lower portion of the amp face is white unlike the Rockerverb MKIII. Look to the bottom left of the amp face to see two larger knobs, the gain and volume. Between them are three knobs, the three band EQ of the MKII. The original Rockerverb only had two bands.
