Orange AD30 | Review | Nick Jennison
Mick Hughes—live engineer for the Led Zeppelin reunion tour—described Jimmy Page’s Orange AD30 twin-channel amplifier head as “the loudest 30 watts I have ever heard!” That’s not the only thing about the Orange AD30 that appears to defy physics. There are a lot of 2-channel tube amplifiers out there, but you’d be hard-pressed to find an amp that sounds as different from one channel to the next as the AD30. That’s because the AD30 is more like two completely separate amplifiers in one than a single amplifier with two tones. Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, we thought we’d showcase just what makes this classic amp so good. Nick Jennison tells us more.

Hi, why don't you make useful subtitles available for translation into other languages too? thanks so much.
salve, perchè non rendete disponibili i sottotitoli utili per la traduzione anche in altre lingue? grazie tanto
I love Orange amps. They're set it and forget it controls.
Sweet guitar player
Sounds good turned up all the way.And most importantly looks cool.
Can this amp sound good at bedroom volumes
I love the AD 30 my fav British amp and that East River Drive is a great pedal , this was a phenomenal demo , some wonderful playing , subscribed ????
I’ve been gigging this amp over last 5-6 years and I can’t fault it. This was my first EL84 valve amp. Safe to say I’m a happy camper.
The only amp that can do everything except metal very well.
Seriously, could you please share the demo with the processing removed, especially the reverb?
Have owned one now for 16 years. This is the best demo I have seen, and I have seen a lot.
The 2nd channel sings with the fuzz. Sounds amazing.
Jimmy Page used the single channel version.
Which one of the two channels would be closest to the older 1 Channel AD30?
I was just browsing, and….. I started thinking bout this chick….
I'm sorry if I missed it… But, what cabinet are you using in the demo? V30 or Neos?
Edit: NVM… Got a closer look on the big screen.
Killer amp! Its loud because its Class A! How Phat does that PRS sound…& definition. RocknRoll baby!
Amazing demo as usual mate.. also, that blues driver sounds amazing.. I was not expecting that!
Best amp demo from a media account ever. EVER. You explored all the use cases of the amp, and all the sounds I wanted to know about. Great job.
Would you mind sharing the dry sound files without reverb, delay, EQ, compression whatever on top of the pure amp sound?
Zeppelin didn't do a reunion tour, they did one show.
Wish this had an attenuator
the fact that this amp does not have an fx loop is a deal breaker for me
this was almost a dream amp
I never understood why they only sell the twin channel version of the AD30 now. Unless I'm mistaken, you can't switch channels via footswitch so you have to flick the switch on the amp. I would much prefer reverb to a second channel, seems almost pointless. Still a great amp.
Best AD30 – review on YT!!! Thanks so much ☺️
Why not running delay in fx loop?
Would love to get my hands on the single channel version.
Hi Nick really wanted to check out this amp sounds immense great playing!????
Killer tone and playing, shweet
