Orange Signs Rough Trade Deal

Orange Amplification is partnering with music retailer Rough Trade to provide sound equipment for in-store artist performances.

The firm’s three Rough Stage live stage areas are now equipped with an amplification selection that includes Rocker 32’s, 4 Strokes, OBC410’s and more. The Rocker 32 is a portable, all valve stereo amp combo for guitarists, offering the classic Orange sound in a small stage footprint. The 4 Stroke is a bass amp which, combined with the classic OBC410 produces a highly focused sound giving lots of low end and prominent mids.
Previous Orange Ambassadors to have graced the Rough Trade stages include Slaves as well as Everything Everything and The Cribs. Upcoming in-store events include Jon Spencer, Connan Mockasin, John Grant and Bobby Gillespie.

Stephen Godfroy, Co-Owner, Rough Trade commented: “Rough Trade are proud and excited to partner with Orange Amps for all our UK in-store live events. Their independent heritage and five decades of craftsmanship are qualities we’re proud to celebrate with our extensive programme of events, featuring their iconic amps in our Bristol, Nottingham and East London backline spec for bands to enjoy. We look forward to celebrating their 50th Anniversary with them later in the year – here’s to another 50!”
