I love Orange amps. Not only do they sound great, look cool, and are extremely versatile, they single-handedly reinvigorated the lunchbox amp market. I doubt there would be the boutique amps we see today without Orange.
And here is their latest creation. The RockerVerb II. An update to the ever popular RockerVerb, featuring an improved reverb, all new FX loop circuitry, and front mounted controls. But perhaps the biggest news is the announcement of a new 50 watt combo.
And they look awesome.
Press Release – February 2010

Ahh... Marshall. Although my love of amps is constantly evolving and going through phases, i always come back to Marshall. To my ears, they have just the right amount of clarity, the right amount of dirt, the right amount frequency spread.... I just love them. I may have flirted with Orange, followed ZZ Top with Crate, dabbled with Vox, but my heart lies with Marshall.
Get Marshall at our store:
US $1.99
