Tap into 100 watts of pure saturated British tone with the Orange Gain Baby. Compact and ultra-portable, this powerful 2-channel amp head is the first choice for many guitarists, providing sparkling cleans on one side and four stages of unadulterated Orange gain on the other. Powerful tone-shaping tools like a buffered FX loop, the clean channel’s VCA compressor, and the gain channel’s footswitchable volume boost remove the need for added stomp boxes without sacrificing tonal control. At the same time, dual speaker outs allow it to sit atop just about any speaker cab, while a balanced output with no cab sim offers a clean signal for external IRs or outboard cab sims. Toss the unit into your backpack and head to rehearsal; or, with an optional rack mount kit, mount it alongside your other stage or studio tools. Armed with the Gain Baby’s versatile tonal range and shaping ability, you’ll always have your sought-after sound in tow.
Clean to high gain and everything in between
Though named for its searing Gain channel, the Gain Baby offers a sweeter side with a clean channel to provide softer tones. Equipped with bass and treble adjustment, this channel sports a VCA compressor for smooth dynamic control without tonal sacrifice. However, flip over to the Gain side, and the amp lives up to its name with four stages of gain ranging from crunchy low-gain grit to face-melting high-gain distortion. The features continue with a footswitchable volume knob to help those solos cut through and a Tight switch that boosts the top end helping maintain articulation as you crank up the saturation.
Craft your sound
The Gain Baby is all about versatility, with a host of connections to help shape your sound beyond the onboard features. When you need a cabinet, the dual speaker outputs allow connection to virtually any configuration with 100-watt power to drive them loud. If you prefer a digital approach, the balanced line has no embedded cab sim. That means you get a clean signal for your outboard cab sims or digital library of IRs. Finally, the Gain Baby includes a buffered FX loop that allows you to connect any number of pedals without fear of signal degradation.
