Description

The Retro 50 and AD 50 amplifiers were the first to feature ‘Custom Shop’ on the front panel.

Ade Emsley – Technical Director

During 2001 – which was really the year of the AD140 – a number of people approached us asking if we could produce Custom Shop 30 watt and 50 watt amplifiers. We developed the Custom Shop Retro 50. This sounded very much like the original Pics Only. It had a concertina phase splitter, but it still had the EQ after the volume, which made it stable and very reliable, switching from 30 watts Class A, to 50 watts Class AB. We designed it to sound like a combination of all the best Pics Only amps, yet in a 50 watt package. The difference between Class A and Class AB is that the Class A tends to run hotter but gives richer tones, and is a more pleasurable play in guitar terms – less harsh and a bit more forgiving on the ear. Class AB has more clean headroom, and is better for clean sounds.

Brand

Since I founded Orange back in 1968, I have always believed that no other company could have cared more than us about innovation in guitar valve amplifier design and sound technology. Our latest amplifier designs still reflect this approach, and I am especially pleased with recent innovations made by Orange in the field of transformer design. To reach these achievements, we spent years studying, experimenting and testing in order to improve on the best. However, it’s not just about transformers, valves and circuit design. It’s about how the sound is perceived – something that I have always thought of as ‘the sound of the sound‘… it’s about the physical pleasure that the sound of an amp gives a guitarist as he plays. That is what really matters. The ‘Orange Sound‘ didn’t just happen, it has taken many years to perfect and fine tune. In the same way that guitarists – no matter how good they may be – can always learn new skills and improve, we will also continue with our search for perfection.
