Dual Baby
When one lead channel isn’t enough, the Dual Baby steps up. Its A/B channel design allows you to switch between tones effortlessly. Channel A provides the clean-to-saturated range that Orange amps are famous for. The Tubby switch adds extra low-end early in the signal chain, giving you rounder, fuller tones for both clean and dirty settings.
Channel B delivers gritty, high-gain tones—perfect for everything from crunchy rhythm parts to full-on lead saturation. The Tight switch helps refine your sound, ensuring articulate and punchy tones. With a 3-band EQ, presence control, and output options like dual speaker outs and a balanced DI XLR, the Dual Baby is a versatile amp that’s small enough to fit in your backpack.
Tour Baby
Built with gigging musicians in mind, the Tour Baby is ready for the road. Weighing just over 3 kg, this amp is easy to carry but doesn’t compromise on power. The 100W clean channel is clear and responsive, featuring a built-in VCA compressor for smooth, polished tones with both active and passive pickups.
The dirty channel delivers the classic Orange sound: rich harmonics, crunchy mids, and warm saturation. A second footswitchable volume control gives you an on-demand boost for solos. With a balanced DI XLR and dual speaker outputs, the Tour Baby is equally suited for live performances and studio sessions.
Gain Baby
The Gain Baby offers unparalleled versatility in a portable package. With its lightweight chassis and 100W solid-state power, it can drive any cab with ease. The clean channel is smooth and dynamic, equipped with a VCA compressor and intuitive bass/treble controls.
The high-gain channel is designed for players who love rich, saturated tones. Four stages of gain let you dial in anything from subtle crunch to over-the-top distortion. A footswitchable volume boost and Tight switch add even more flexibility. The onboard 3-band EQ and buffered FX loop ensure precise tone shaping. Like the others, it includes balanced DI and dual speaker outs for maximum adaptability.
Availability
The Orange Baby range will be available in Australia in late February 2025. Visit orangeamps.com for more information.
