BEFORE USING YOUR AMPLIFIER
The voltage selector switch and mains fuse is set at the factory for the country or region in which this Orange product is intended to be sold. To prevent serious damage to the product, ensure that the rated AC mains voltage indicated on the product's rear panel agrees with the mains voltage from your AC mains inlet before connecting the IEC power cable.
If the product is to be used outside of the factory set region, please ensure the voltage selector switch found on the rear panel is set to the correct voltage for the new country/region and that the appropriate mains fuse is fitted in the pull-out fuse tray below the IEC mains input.
The correct mains fuse rating for the product is printed on the chassis (see ' Rear Panel Features'). Use only the same type and rating as specified for the product. Be advised that different operating voltages require the use of different types of line cord and attachment plugs. If you are unsure, please contact your Orange Dealer.
Dirty/Clean
Adjusts the output level for each channel. Higher settings on the Clean channel will produce natural overdrive and breakup.
Note: with the Dirtychannel Gain set to zero, no sound will be heard on theDirty channel.
Adjusts the high-end response. Increasing the Treble produces brighter tones.
Adjusts the mid-range response. Increase theMiddle control for a 'fatter' tone, especially with thin sounding pickups. Reduce the Middle control with higher Gain settings for a 'scooped' modern tone.
Adjusts the low-end response. Increasing the Bass produces deeper tones.
Dirty Channel
Experiment with the Gaincontrol for a wide range of 'crunch' and heavily distorted tones. Higher settings add more distortion and saturation. Balance with theDirty Volume control to achieve the desired output level.
The power light will illuminate when the Powerswitch (rear) is set to ON.
Connect headphones via a stereo 1/4' jack for silent practice. The Phones output features Cabinet Simulation and can also be used to connect the amp to a mixer or recording console. Avoid using headphones for extended periods at loud levels.
Connect MP3 players etc. to the Aux Input using a 3.5mm stereo jack. Note: Audio is summed to mono and is unaffected by the amp's controls.
Selects between the Clean andDirty channels. This can be switched remotely via a footswitch (see rear panel)
Connect your instrument to theInput jack via a quality shielded instrument cable.
Adjusts the reverb level for both channels. Higher settings add longer trails for a spatial effect.
Depress the ON/OFF button to engage the integrated chromatic Tuner.
Set the Volume to zero for silent tuning if required.
The appropriate red LED will illuminate on the display to indicate the note being played. If the green # LED also illuminates, this indicates a chromatic note, e.g. F Sharp (F#).
The > arrow LED indicates the note is tuned too low in pitch.
The < arrow LED indicates the note is tuned too high in pitch.
Adjust the string's pitch in the direction shown by the arrows until the green OK LED lit.
Connect a latching footswitch (e.g. FS-1) to remotely switch between Clean and Dirty channels. The front panel channel switch is disengaged when using a footswitch. An Orange FS-1 LED will illuminate when the Clean channel is selected.
Refer to 'Before Using Your Amplifier'. Connect the supplied IEC cable to the AC Mains Input. Ensure the Power switch is set to OFF before connecting the IEC cable.
The mains fuse is located in the pull-out tray underneath the AC Mains Input. If the mains fuse blows, replace only with the exact rating for your region. If the mains fuse continues to blow contact yourOrange dealer.
100V/120V: T630mA
230V: T315mA
Refer to 'Before Using Your Amplifier'.
Ensure the amp's volume controls are set to zero before switching on power to the amplifier. Switch off when not in use.
