Orange Thunderverb 50 At Summer NAMM 2007
At Summer NAMM 2007 in Austin, the Orange rep gave us a guided tour of the Orange Thunderverb 50H. This 50hz Valve, 50 Watt Guitar amp head boasts enough tone muscle to blow away a crowd, and enough discipline to keep it low.
The unit's groundbreaking tube technology, combined with the use of ETR and tube transformers, makes this amp head tough to compare to others in its class. This unit allows bass bandwidth to operate as low as 30Hz without distortion for a full range of guitar tone. Check out the Gearwire video for full details.

ROB WARMOWSKI: Hey everybody, this is Rob from Gearwire.Com. We’re here at Summer NAMM 2007 and I’m here with Adrian from Orange Amps. How are you doing, Adrian?
ADRIAN EMSLEY: Yeah. Not too bad. Not too bad. Just getting over the jet lag, you know.
ROB WARMOWSKI: Just getting --
ADRIAN EMSLEY: Getting over the bug I caught over a glass last night. [LAUGHING]
ROB WARMOWSKI: Uh oh, uh oh. More about that later on a different web site, but right now we’re going to talk about the Thunderverb 50. Adrian, tell us a little bit about Orange’s Thunderverb.
ADRIAN EMSLEY: Exactly the same preamps as the 200. you basically got two three-stage channels, same gain structure, both of them clean up, both of them overdrive, and you got a different EQ section on both channels. On channel A you got a three-band EQ. On channel B you’ve got shape control: one way is it all mid range, no bass or treble, the other way is all bass and treble with no mid range and anything in between. It’s a one-knob EQ that does a hell of a lot. It’s still got the footswitchable attenuator which is used on the 200 which means if you absolutely have to make everyone in the room disappear, you can footswitchably defeat that...

...for a loud solo. The reverb is the same as the 200, the same as the Rockerverb, tube-driven effects loops same as the Rockerverb, same as the 200, 50-watt two EL34’s instead of four 6V6’s as used on the Rockerverb 50.
ROB WARMOWSKI: What do you prefer channel A for as opposed to channel B?
ADRIAN EMSLEY: They both have the same gain structure. You know, it depends on how you set them really. You can scoop channel B, self-scooping in the way that they’re voiced slightly differently in the EQ section but the gain structure is identical on both.
