Orange Custom Shop 50 Valve Head

50 Watts of Classic Orange Blues-Rock Tone

The Orange Custom Shop 50 Valve Head capitalises on over forty years of craftsmanship to create a quintessential ‘player’s’ amp, which combines a beautifully straightforward front panel, elegant construction and exquisite Blues-Rock tones. Meticulously hand wired using premium grade components and heavy gauge copper wire, the internals are nothing short of a work of art. Sonically, this single channel gem caters for those guitarists pursuing pure and unadulterated tonal refinement. Switching from 30 Watts Class A or 50 Watts Class A/B output alters the amp’s feel and response, with a wonderfully sensitive chime in Class A mode. In the Class A/B setting, the mids open up, for a warmer, full-bodied kick. The EQ section is highly responsive, and interacts brilliantly with the Gain control, going from round and smooth, to bold and snarly. Orange's unique HF Drive control allows for fine tuning of the upper harmonics. As the HF Drive reaches 3 o’clock on the dial, it adds negative feedback at the output stage for a rich, thick overdrive which sails through any mix. A footswitchable EQ lift provides an awe-inspiring canvas for lead work, adding fullness and singing sustain. For classic British tone, it doesn’t get any better than the Custom Shop 50.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Orange Custom Shop 50 Valve Head is perfect for players who demand the best in blues-rock tone - the Custom Shop 50 excels at everything from chimey clean licks to snarling rock riffs.
