Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII
Orange · amplifier
The Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII is the flagship, higher-output model in Orange's twin-channel Rockerverb line, offering selectable 100/70/50/30-watt output via switchable power-tube configuration (4 or 2 active tubes) plus a half-power switch, giving the widest output-flexibility range in the Rockerverb MkIII lineup. Like the smaller 50 MkIII, it features the MkIII generation's reworked mains transformers for improved low-end response and articulation, an improved, more usable reverb with a brighter trail, and a built-in attenuator positioned after the master volume for shaping how the amp distorts post-preamp.
