Orange Tremlord 30

What Reidys say...

"Available in both orange and black, the TremLord is, in Technical Director Ade Emsley's words, "the amp that Orange never made." It's a 50s inspired, 1x12, EL84 based, 30W valve amp. Everything, apart from the rectifier is valve driven. As the name heavily implies, the TremLord does have tremolo on board - you've even got two footswitchable speeds you can quickly switch between, or cut out entirely. There's also loads of reverb on tap, thanks to the two-spring reverb tank - splashy and crashy; perhaps not the kind of reverb you'd normally associate with Orange.

The Orange TremLord has been designed with clean headroom in mind - more than any other 30W amp they've made before. The 12" Lavoce speaker helps keep the amp clean as you turn it up, as well smoothing out the top end a little. Keep on cranking the volume though and you'll start to get that unmistakable Orange bite. Like many of Orange's recent designs, the TremLord features switchable power options, so you can run it at 30, 15, 2 or 1 watts, and also a valve-driven FX loop."

OUR TAKE ON THE 1950s COMBO



The TremLord 30 is our very British take on the 1950s amplifier. It’s a 30 Watt, 1 —12 all valve guitar combo with two footswitchable valve driven tremolo speeds and a two spring reverb tank. Contrary to our other combos, we’ve worked with Italian speaker designer Lavoce to deliver a unique speaker able to deliver more headroom and the smoother top end required for the unique vintage tones of this amplifier while our carefully chosen El84 output valves enable the unique British tone associated with Orange.

Bedroom to Headroom Switch


When in Bedroom mode (2 or 1 Watts), the circuit has been designed to retain the springiness and feel that we love about valve amps, a sensation that often gets lost with some attenuator designs. This makes for great tones in the practice room or in the studio, with the option to step up a gear to 15 Watt or 30 Watts for the stage.

Valve Buffered Effect Loop


A post tremolo, FX loop allows players to use proper, built in tremolo anywhere in a modern FX chain. Driven by a 12AT7, the fully buffered, low impedance design allows for any number of effects and cables to be patched in without sacrificing tone. It’s incredibly transparent, meaning your pedal arsenal will perform to its absolute peak.

Two Spring Reverb Tank


Our two spring Reverb tank offers masses of reverb with springs that can be heard, making it deeper, splashier and crashier. Driven by a single 12AT7/Ecc81 valve and our own custom transformer, the spring reverb circuit is our richest sounding spring reverb design to date. Add a foot pedal for switching the reverb on or off during gigs.

FOOTSWITCHABLE VALVE TREMOLO


Harking back to tremolos made famous in the 50s, our 12AX7 Valve powered Tremolo gives versatile depth control. The two speed controls are foot-switchable allowing for quick switching between your favourite dialled in settings or defeating the tremolo entirely.

"It’s kinda like the amp Orange never made in the first place. It’s a quite vintage flavoured amp with more perceived clean headroom than our other 30 watt amps."Ade Emsley, Technical Director
