You’ll all know Orange Amps – they’re legendary for their tones as much as they are for the players who’ve used them to carve up stages all over the world for the past 50+ years!

Well, for 2025, they’ve released what is (for me, at least) one of their most exciting series ever: the Baby Range! The Tour Baby, Gain Baby and Dual Baby are all twin channel 100-watt Class A/B solid state amp designs that weigh in at just over 3kg each (that’s under 7 lbs.!) and are ready to rock out for a variety of different uses.

The Tour Baby is the most sedate of the bunch, taking you from pristine cleans to crunchy, punchy rock sounds. The clean channel has a studio-grade VCA compressor built in, while the dirty channel delivers the grit, crunch and classic saturation Orange for which Orange is beloved.

The Gain Baby has the same compressor-loaded clean channel as the Tour Baby, but its dirty channel ups the ante somewhat, with four distinct gain stages, a Tight control and a three-band EQ to sculpt your tones.

Meanwhile, the Dual Baby offers two filthy channels (and cleans if you want them!). Channel A is based on the iconic Orange Rockerverb amps and goes from clean to mean, while Channel B has four stages of oomph, just like the Gain Baby’s dirty channel.

The three Baby amps are all designed for onstage use, and they’ll all easily drive a 4x12 cab too. They also feature FX Loops, DI outs and footswitching options, making them incredibly flexible little things!

And, what do you pay for these specs, tones and general musical privileges? Well, as of time of writing (September 2025), each Baby will set you back $599/€529 – so these are very much affordable gigging options.

So, join Carsten and me as we discover these amps together (neither of us had played one before being in the room with them here) and let us know which one you think is best in the comments!
