The Orange Gear Baby 100 is a 100-watt tube guitar amplifier head, a compact and lightweight high-power option in Orange's lineup delivering the brand's signature thick, midrange-forward tonal character at serious stage volume. Despite the "Baby" naming (referencing its compact physical footprint relative to full-size Orange heads), it delivers full 100-watt tube power for large-venue gigging.
The Orange TH30 is a 30-watt, twin-channel all-valve head running 4xECC83 preamp tubes and 4xEL84 power tubes in Class A, with switchable output power (30/15/7 watts) for matching volume to the room. The footswitchable Clean channel offers Volume, Bass, and Treble controls for articulate, sparkling cleans that hold up at higher volume, while the Dirty channel adds Gain and a Shape control sweeping between all-midrange and scooped bass/treble voicings, driven by a four-stage gain circuit capable of tight, modern distortion. A valve-driven effects loop rounds out the feature set.
