Pre-owned in excellent, this Orange Rockerverb 100 MKIII produces an absolutely searing tone with power, punch and volume! This Rockerverb features 4xEL34 power valves for that classic British valve driven tone.
This amplifier shows only light signs of wear and is functioning well.
A fantastic valve amplifier made in the UK.
The original Rockerverb gained a cult following on account of its iconic high gain tones. The Mk IIIs of course continue this tradition, but these amps are immensely flexible. The Dirty channel goes anywhere from clean to crunch and onwards to the very heaviest modern saturation, always maintaining outstanding clarity. The non-master-volume Clean channel has been re-engineered to take on a more sparkly and crisp nature but with greater control through a revoiced two-band EQ section. The Mk IIIs have even greater headroom and volume in full-power mode should you need it, but this can now be manipulated with the amp’s output power and Attenuator controls.
Cranked amp tones at “conversation volumes”. The Attenuator circuit is located after the master volume controls and determines when and how the amp distorts after the preamp stage. This means the overall volume level can be reduced, whilst keeping control over the entire amp’s clipping characteristics. Unlike a loadbox, our design ensures the all-important relationship between the output transformer and the speaker remains intact so, even at very low volumes, the amp remains springy and responsive. Turning the Attenuator control clockwise reduces the overall output level (i.e. increases the attenuation), which can be remotely defeated via a footswitch for a volume boost on either channel for lead lines.
Switching the amp’s output power allows for more control over the headroom and breakup from the output valves. Reduce the output for greater output valve clipping and saturation at lower volume levels. The Rockerverb 100H Mk III features both a “half-power” mode that drops the plate voltage on the output valves, and a two- or four-valve selector switch for a choice of 100, 70, 50 or 30 W.
Driven by an ECC83/12AT7 valve and a custom transformer, the spring-reverb circuit in the Mk III has undergone significant upgrades. Brighter and more controllable than its predecessor, this lush spring-reverb circuit covers everything from “air” to full-on surf.
For the purist who loves their pedals, our highly transparent effects loop is buffered by a single ECC81/12AT7, ensuring an all-valve signal path from input to output.
