Orange Rocker 15 Terror

After having a lower wattage Vox and a 40 watt Fender Blues Deluxe RI, I must say this is a keeper. It was built and designed to be used, and be your best friend for every occasion. The built in attenuators (bedroom/headroom switch for ex.) make easy to use at home as well. Sure they sound better cranked and load, but still, this is an amp you can use tamed for your bedroom.
You get a typical Orange sound with super sustain and a nice middle, that you can always dial back if you're looking for more fendery EQ.
The natural overdrive of this amp is so good it just makes me put dirt my pants all time. This crunch is so much more sophisticated than the Marshall sound IMHO. The tube driven FX loop is heaven, makes your FX's sound so articulate and loud.
The clean channel doesn't have an EQ but that's a minor problem for me, and it can be solved with an nice EQ pedal or a light OD as well.

This is an all rounder AMP for every genre from hard rock to pop. It was made to be very very usable. My former Fender Blues Deluxe had so many flaws compared to this: thin od channel, avarage fx loop, upside down text over the pots (INSANE)., heavy AF.

SO: If you need an AMP that has a character, a super dirty sound and can be used for gigging and practicing as well, this one is perfect for you.

I've been on the lookout for a new Amp for more than a year before settling on the Rocker 15.
After having used my Peavey Vypyr for about 8 Years, I wanted a low wattage tube amp.
Out of a few british amps at a similar price point I liked the sound of the Rocker 15 the most.

My first impression was basically "wow that thing is LOUD".
I play in my flat and even though I use a silent cab, I still run the amp at one watt most of the time.

What I like:
* A nice range of sounds from crisp cleans to quite high gain
* The way it reacts to my playing
* The ability to dial it down to 0.5 watt
* The effectsloop
* It takes gain pedals quite nicely
* The simplicity of the interface

What I don't like:
* The channel switching footswitch is a separate product not provided with the amp
* I think the highs of the dirty channel could be a bit more focused (is almost a non issue, but I thought I should mention it)
* There is a switch between half and full wattage on the front, however the switch between the "headroom" and "bedroom" settings is at the back. This could have been moved into a single 4 way switch at the front.

What to expect:
* An out of the box good sound, just plug it in and it will work
* A good base for pedal usage
* A loud amp that can easily keep up with a drummer

What not to expect:
* An absolute high end metal beast
* A quiet amp, that can be played in your flat at night (to be fair it can do that, but not at optimal sound)

Regarding the features:
* As previously mentioned I would have liked the footswitch to come with it
* You receive a nice bag for the amp, which is adequate, considering it is not that heavy

Regarding handling:
* Most of the front is described by pictograms instead of text, that might initially not be intuitive, but for a quick look it works a lot nicer and makes the front look a lot cooler.
* The clean channel has no way of adjusting the sound, however I don't think it is necessary, it already sounds phenomenal

Overall I am absolutely happy with my purchase and for my current situation it was definitely the right choice.

Disclaimer: I was previously playing through Orange Micro Terror so I do like the "orange" sound.

The packaging: the amp comes with a padded bag that is very nice to use and does not come with a footswitch. I personally think that orange footswitches are a bit bulky so this was not an issue for me.

The sound: I was always a fan of Orange breakup tones and this does deliver everything I was hoping for. In my one-man-band setup it fills the sonic space nicely and has a really punchy mid-range (paired with a V30 cabinet). I can get a really nice variety of gain tones and It all works really well. What I was surprised with is how much I liked the clean tones and how much I end up using the clean channel as a result.

The amp is loud, and I do mean LOUD. The headroom/bedroom switch as well as half/full power work wonders for this. I am yet to be able to take it off the headroom mode for either practice or live as it gets plenty loud. I find that even in 1W mode it is loud enough to hold its own with my small drum kit.

It does have fx loop which is great for delays/looping.

Overall I love the amp and it suites my needs perfectly and so this is going to be the last amp I buy for a long time.

Small negative points:
- Handle does not fold so I cannot set my backup on the top (not really a big issue)
- Aformentioned lack of bundled footswitch (not a problem since I was planning to get a smaller footprint one from a third party anyway)

It sounds like an Orange amp should. The clean channel is a bit dull but I am using this 99% of the time as a pedal platform. I find that I prefer the drive of pedals that of this amp, but for people who love the Orange tone, it is great. Great quality (no issues in 2-3 years), never a hiccup. That's my only tube amp that never had an issue so that says something. The low-power settings are extremely useful. The gain knob doesn't do anything until it is half-way up, I'm sure this could have been improved in the design. I guess it is 5 stars if you love the Orange tone, I give it 4 because neither the clean nor the drive channels impressed me personally.
