WHY IS THIS A GOOD TUBE AMP FOR HOME USE? The Marshall Studio Classic SC20C 20W Valve Combo Amp has been constructed for those of us who want the sound of this seminal amp, in a smaller, more compact package. Unless you wanted to get evicted due to noise complaints, playing one cranked at home has been almost impossible - until now. Since the original Marshall JCM800 2203 amplifiers were released in 1981, the amplifiers have taken on an almost God-like status as the ultimate "must have" for tone snobs. MARSHALL STUDIO CLASSIC SC20C 20W VALVE COMBO AMP Already got a cab? Well, the Orange Rocker 15 Terror 15W Valve Amp Head is a head only version, which is great if you have a cab that's lying around gathering dust.
If you want to go louder, there's the Orange Rocker 32, which is a 30 watt amp capable of dropping to 15 watts - ideal for the gigging musician - or someone who hates their neighbours/housemates/windows. This means you can enjoy all that tube amp sound, whether clean or dirty, at home without destroying the relationship with your neighbours! Simply flick it back up to 15 watts when you're ready for the stage or when you're in the practice room. Although it's a 15 watt amp, you can drop to 7 watts or as low as 1 watt via the flick of a switch. The huge benefit to the Orange Rocker 15 amp lies within the "Bedroom/Headroom" switch, which allows you to change the output power of the amplifier. But alas, there's simply no substitute for the "real thing" so the team at Orange have crafted the ultimate option for lovers of tube amps - the Orange Rocker 15. The people at Orange Amps understand all too well the importance of driving a valve amp hard - they've been making amplifiers for the worlds stages for years! However, they also make a great deal of amplifiers ideal for practice backstage and at home utilising a mixture of valve and solid state technology so you can get that gorgeous valve sound and response at a lower volume.
