Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Serial numbers are typically located on a metal plate on the rear panel of the amplifier or chassis. For combo amps, it may be on the back panel or inside the cabinet.
You can register your new Orange gear on the official website under the 'Interests' or 'Support' section within a specific period after purchase to extend your warranty coverage.
The specific valve types depend on the model (e.g., EL84, EL34, ECC83). Refer to the technical specifications in your owner's manual or the product page on the Orange Amps website for the correct tube complement.
Many Orange Crush and Terror series amplifiers feature a headphone output with cabinet simulation (CabSim). However, never connect headphones to the speaker outputs on the back of a valve head, as this can damage the amp.
Cathode-biased models (like the AD30 or Tiny Terror) generally do not require biasing when replacing matched power tubes. Fixed-bias models will need biasing by a qualified technician to ensure optimal performance and safety.
