Orange Rocker 15 Terror
Forsterkertopp, 15 watt, rør, 2 kanaler
Rocker 15 Terror er etterfølgeren til den klassiske Tiny Terror. Dette er en allsidig, smidig to-kanalers rørforsterker som kan anpasses til de fleste anledninger.
Den passer både som hjemmeforsterker og som gigforsterker da man kan veksle mellom 0,5, 1, 7 eller 15w.

Capable of 0.5, 1, 7 or 15 Watts of output the Rocker 15 Terror is the head only version of the enormously popular Rocker 15 Combo that moves seamlessly from the home, to the studio, to the stage. Finally, a small, two channel, bedroom-friendly all-valve amp that you can legitimately gig!
With the Rocker 15 set wide open, smaller venues are comfortably taken care. Thanks to the same beefy transformers as the combo version, the Rocker 15 has a remarkably potent delivery which takes full advantage of its EL84 output section. Even when scaling back the power, the amp’s tone stays fat and full, oozing warm valve compression and saturation without disturbing the neighbours.
Clever options aside, the Rocker 15 has real character – a twin channel design with a twist. The Natural channel is a purist’s dream with just a single knob: Volume. Finely balanced and supremely playable, this channel is perfectly voiced to bring out the ‘natural’ sound of the instrument under your fingers (or the pedals under your feet). The ‘Dirty’ channel is a more familiar affair with controls for Gain, Volume and a three band EQ section. Both channels are very sensitive to touch and playing dynamics, making Rocker 15 very versatile despite its straightforward, player-friendly layout.
The amp also features a proper valve driven effects loop for total purity from input to output. So, whether you need a rig for low-volume practising, recording, or to be heard on the club circuit, the shape-shifting Rocker 15 will show itself to be the amp for every occasion.
Cliff was also friendly with what was then a premier blues band called Fleetwood Mac. Mac became the first chart group to go Orange in late-1968 when they took with them to America the very first half dozen Orange 100-watters ever made. Sportingly, Cliff included the name Matamp below the psychedelic Orange logo engraved on amplifier front-plates.
But the Orange Matamp era would be relatively brief as stars as big and wide-ranging as Stevie Wonder, BB King, Jimmy Page, John Mayall, Ike and Tina Turner, and James Brown joined the client list and helped to establish the brand. Orders worldwide soon far outstripped the production capacity of the Huddersfield factory that Cliff had bankrolled for Matamp in early 1970.
When Orange introduced a 200-watt head in time for Fleetwood Mac’s spring 1969 tour with BB King, Peter Green remarked that the sound was too clean and so Cliff’s engineers voiced the amps deliberately to produce more distortion.
Then the 1972 introduction of the 120-watt and 80-watt Orange Graphic Amplifier OR series marked the start of an era in which Orange truly became The Voice of The World , with manufacturing now mostly in Bexleyheath. The Graphic’s front-plate used eye-catching graphic icons taken from a computer industry which was then in its infancy. The mid-1970s saw the launch of the first Orange amp with master volume overdrive the OD 120 model.
And Cliff by now was known in the business as Mr Orange or Monsieur Orange in France where Orange drum kits were made.
