Hey Everyone,

For those of you interested in the street date of the 40th Anniversary Custom Shop, expect to see (2) of them available - Jennifer and Isabella - from a soon-to-be-determined Orange dealer no later than July 1st.

This is truly the rarest Orange amplifier ever created, and future values are set to skyrocket. The list cost has been set at $5,999.00.

Do you think you'll be making an attempt at purchasing this unique amp? Let us know your thoughts...

Cheers,


Alex

Interesting... I received this email today- is £699 correct?:

The unique tone of the 40th Anniversary Edition makes these amps a distinctive attention grabber.
First made famous in the 70's by Bill Wyman and Brian Jones, the amps are each is identifiable by girls’ names rather than serial numbers, each in the series shares the same controls and all are

non-master volume designs and booming 50 watts with a built in 30 watts Class ‘A’ switch. Some are closer in design
with the ‘Plexi’ circuit, whilst others sound quite different. As for the tone - its tone-tastic!
The cab is fitted with four 16 ohm Celestion G12 30 H speakers and incorporates a centre post just like the 4x12 cabinets that went with the original 70’s ‘Pics Only’ amps.

Each head has a different design and voicing with each one confirmed with a photo of the inside authorised by The Custom Shop.

If it weren’t for the Gold Piping and a limited edition 40th anniversary badge you would believe it was an original.
But can you get one? With only 40 available Worldwide there are slim pickings!
£699 Available now from www.nevadamusic.co.uk

OK, looks like a typo in the email, but check their website:

That's reasonable actually....
