The TH30 has proven to be one of the most popular heads in the Orange range, and for good reason. With jangly cleans and high-gain filth coexisting in perfect harmony, the sheer range of tones that can be dialed in from just six controls is nothing short of jaw-dropping. A quartet of EL84 valves bring their unique, crisp character and switchable output power can be used to tailor the amp’s natural overdrive to any situation. To top it all off, Orange's low-impedance, valve-buffered effects loop makes sure all your pedals are handled with finesse.
The Dirty channel features four carefully-crafted stages of gain and the same powerful Shape control first seen on Orange's Thunderverb series. Sweeping the midrange from scooped to boosted, this all-in-one control makes fine-tuning your distorted tones easier than ever before. This channel remains unerringly focussed, steeped in complex harmonic overtones even at maximum gain settings.
The non-master volume Clean channel is a 2-stage design with a 2-band EQ, delivering sweet, crystalline cleans right up to the point of breakup, and classic crunch when pushed over the top. This channel works flawlessly with the EL84 power section to offer a great selection of more vintage tones.
With four EL84 valves and Orange's famously heavy-duty proprietary transformers, the TH30’s punchy and efficient 30 Watt power amp can also be switched down to 15 or 7 Watts (using the 4 Valve/2 Valve switch and Full/Half Power modes). Whether you’re looking for hi-fi, modern tones or cranking out retro crunch, feel and dynamics are always retained – at any volume.
No modern amp would be complete without a great FX Loop. Orange's highly-transparent, all-valve design makes sure your signal path gets nothing but the best treatment, no matter how complex your pedal setup.
