An extremely tidy, near immaculate hardly used example of the Orange Pedal Baby 100W Class A/B Power Amplifier. An absolutely killer unit for getting your pedal tone / modeller tone into a living breathing guitar cab. A must own piece of gear in 2024.
Designed for the touring musician, the Pedal Baby 100 combines 100 watts of Class A/B power with transparent sound and incredible portability. Pedals, modellers, preamps, digital processors – you name it, the Pedal Baby can handle it!
Class A/B Power Amp
Yes, Class D amps are have a reputation for efficiency, but many argue that class A/B amps have a certain feel that’s unmistakable. By opting for a class A/B configuration, Orange have ensured that the Pedal Baby retains the dynamics and nuances of your performance. With a single class A front-end, rest assured your tone will sparkle and roar in equal measure – this ain’t no flat-sounding solid-state power amp!
Portable, powerful
At 3kg in weight and just over 30cm long, the Pedal Baby has been forged with the touring musician in mind. Fly dates, lengthy travel commitments, limited set-up time – it ticks all the boxes. In addition, it comes with a 2-band EQ with plenty of cut/boost on tap. At 12 o’clock, the EQ is bypassed for full transparency; tilt it either way and you can colour your tone according to your cab, DI or whatever’s required.
Here’s what Ade Emsley says:
“If you’re looking at flying into a festival, backline companies will often have Marshall or Orange amps. Around 80% of them will be 16 Ohms, so with the Pedal Baby, you can turn up with it and some pedals, a guitar, and you can place this on top of the cabs already on stage and have at least 70 Watts out of it clean – so you can easily do a gig with this.
If you have all your sounds dialed in on your pedal board geared up for flying rigs then is is perfect for that too. You can use this in any gigging situation, anything from small clubs to festivals. The front end is Class A and the power amp is Class AB so it’s got a good quality, natural sound and it represents accurately what you put into it.”
