Orange TH30H — 30W Twin-Channel All-Valve Amp Head

This 30-watt, two-channel all-valve guitar amplifier head was built for players who want unmistakable Orange character without menu-driven complexity. The model delivers huge tonal range from crystal-clean chime through classic crunch to modern high-gain, all from a simple front panel and a road-ready chassis. Orange TH30H pairs an EL84-driven Class A output stage with footswitchable Clean and Dirty channels covering everything from bluesy rhythm work to soaring metal leads.

What Makes the TH30H Stand Out

What separates this head from the crowded 30-watt market is its switchable output power and four-stage high-gain preamp. The Dirty channel stays articulate and tight at extreme settings, while the Shape control sweeps between mid-scooped metal grind and pushed mid-range rock voicing. A valve-buffered effects loop, built around an ECC81/12AT7 tube, keeps time-based pedals transparent across the entire signal path.

Switchable Power for Any Volume

Output power is one of this model's most practical features, letting a single amp behave like three different rigs. Players can drop from full 30 W to 15 W or 7.5 W for bedroom practice, rehearsal, or recording without losing the EL84-driven breakup that defines the sound.

• Output Power: 30 W (switchable to 15 W or 7.5 W) — three amp personalities in one chassis
• Power Amp Valves: 4x EL84 — Class A output stage with classic British bite and compression
• Speaker output options include 1x 8 Ω, 1x 16 Ω, or 2x 16 Ω for flexible cabinet matching.

Two Footswitchable Channels, Six Knobs Total

The control layout is intentionally minimal, with three knobs per channel and no hidden menus. Each channel can be selected via the footswitch jack for effortless live transitions.

• Number of Channels: 2 (Clean / Dirty) — footswitchable on the fly
• Clean Channel Controls: Volume, Bass, Treble — sparkling chime with classic 2-band EQ
• The Dirty channel adds a four-stage gain circuit with a single-knob Shape control for instant mid contour.

All-Valve Signal Path With Buffered Effects Loop

The TH30H runs an entirely valve-based preamp and power section, with a dedicated tube in the effects loop to preserve dynamics and clarity when adding external pedals. This all-valve topology is what gives the amp its touch-sensitive response and harmonically rich breakup.

• Preamp Valves: 4x ECC83 (12AX7) — drives both channels and the phase inverter
• Effects Loop Tube: 1x ECC81 (12AT7) — keeps modulation and delay transparent
• A fully valve-buffered effects loop integrates time-based pedals without tone loss.

Who Should Play the TH30H

This unit is the right choice for working guitarists who need one amp that covers clean pedal-platform tones, classic rock crunch, and modern high-gain without compromise. Studio players benefit from the 7.5 W mode, which pushes the EL84s into early breakup at conversation-friendly volumes. Gigging players get the full 30 W headroom needed to cut through a loud band.

British Valve Amp Heritage

The manufacturer has built hand-wired, all-valve guitar amplifiers in Britain for decades, and the brand's bold pics-only control layout and signature orange tolex finish have made these amps instantly recognisable on stages worldwide.
