Using Your Amplifier
IMPORTANT! Before connecting your amplifier to a power source, please check the following:
1. Ensure your speaker cabinet is connected to the correct impedance speaker output socket, (see Rear Panel, item 2), using a
good quality speaker cable. Do not use guitar leads.
2. Ensure that the voltage selector switch is set to the correct mains voltage, (see Rear Panel, item 5).
The output (HALF/STBY/FULL) switch (found next to the power switch on front of amplifier) runs the valves at a low plate voltage (reducing output power)
in the HALF position and at a higher plate voltage (increasing output power) in the FULL position. The middle position is the standby position.
Make sure that the HALF/STBY/FULL output switch is in the Standby (middle) position before switching the power switch to the ON position.
(This will maximise the life of your valves)..
If you are unsure about any of the above points please consult your local Orange supplier.
Using The TH30
IMPORTANT! Before connecting your amplifier to a power source, please check the following:
1. Ensure your speaker cabinet is connected to the correct impedance speaker output socket, (see Rear Panel, item 2). Always use a good quality speaker
cable, do not use guitar leads. Combo models will have it’s speaker attached).
2. Ensure that the voltage selector switch is set to the correct mains voltage, (see Rear Panel, item 5).
When powering up your amplifier, switch to the ensure the ‘Standby’ position is set from the front panel and then switch the power on from the rear panel,
two minutes before switching from 'Standby' to the ‘On’ position. (This will maximise the life of your valves)..
If you are unsure about any of the above points please consult your local Orange supplier.
Selecting Output / Number of Tubes
The output switch (found next to the power switch on front of amplifier) runs the valves at a low plate voltage (reducing output power) in the HALF
position and at a higher plate voltage (increasing output power) in the FULL position. The middle position is the standby position. This switch should be in
the standby position for around two minutes after first powering up the amplifier!
OUTPUT POWER COMBINATIONS.
Output switch HALF, 2 OUTPUT TUBES = 7watts.
Output switch HALF, 4 OUTPUT TUBES = 15watts.
Output switch FULL, 2 OUTPUT TUBES = 15watts.
Output switch FULL, 4 OUTPUT TUBES = 30watts.
Using The Dirty Channel
This channel features three controls, Gain, Shape and Master Volume. Loads of Gain level, however using the unique 'Shape' control will allow a vast array of
tones, from Classic Rock through to Scooped Metal.
Using Clean Channel
This channel features a classic Orange control section of Treble, Bass and Volume.
Using the Footswitch
The Switch on the front of the amp must be set to Dirty Channel for the footswitch to function. This feature ensures the user will always be able to switch
channels even if there is damage to the footswitch jack.
