Orange Custom Shop 50 Head

The absolute pinnacle of guitar amplifiers; the Orange Custom Shop 50 Head

The Orange Custom Shop 50 is an exclusive, hand-built tube amplifier that represents the absolute top-tier of Orange. This 50-watt head is point-to-point wired in the United Kingdom and is designed for guitarists who demand uncompromising tone, dynamics, and build quality.

With its single-channel design, everything about the Custom Shop 50 revolves around purity and expression. This amplifier responds directly to your touch and playing style, allowing you to effortlessly switch from crystal-clear cleans to rich, harmonic overdrive – entirely from your hands and your guitar. The result is an open, three-dimensional sound that lends itself perfectly to classic rock, blues, and everything in between.

What makes this amplifier special is the combination of vintage character and intelligent, musical control. The switchable power mode (30W Class A and 50W Class A/B) not only changes the volume but also the feel and response of the amplifier. In Class A, you get sparkling, sensitive cleans, while the Class A/B setting provides more punch, headroom, and a robust British rock sound.

The unique HF Drive control offers additional control over the power amp and high-frequency response, allowing you to easily vary from warm vintage compression to a more aggressive, modern bite. Additionally, the footswitchable EQ lift gives you a powerful boost with extra gain and midrange, ideal for solos without losing your fundamental sound.

The Orange Custom Shop 50 is not a standard amplifier, but an instrument in itself. A boutique head for the purist who wants to derive their sound entirely from feel, technique, and an uncompromising piece of craftsmanship.
