Critic Reviews

Orange Custom Shop 50 review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Orange's Custom Shop 50 is a powerhouse that delivers heart-melting rock tones with a no-compromise design. Its straightforward, single-channel layout and robust build provide a satisfying playing experience, making it a standout for rock purists. However, the absence of an effects loop and built-in reverb might limit its versatility for some players. Despite these shortcomings, the amp excels in tonal depth and richness, boasting thick overdriven sounds that appeal to a wide range of musical styles. If simplicity and raw power are what you seek, the Custom Shop 50 will inspire and resonate through every performance.
