Hi-
From the looks of it, I think it's a 90s one.
My 70s OR120OD's voltage and impedence switching
was done with removable plugs. My 90s OR120
had rotary switches like yours. My 70s one also read
"Cooper Mathias" on the back plate.
Hope that helps- stay loud /stay Orange!!!

its a 90s reissue. you can tell by the skinny left leg of the letter "A" in "orange". old oranges have the "orange" part written with the font on the top of this page. recent oranges have the same font also i think, but they look completely different as far as knobs and stuff goes.
1971 OR120 (Plexi Panel, Big Pix Only)
1994 Fender Jaguar (Seymour Duncan Humbuckers, Gibson Nashville Bridge)
2002 PPC412 (British V30s)

as I said in one of the other posts, it's a 90's. The A and N are skinny; the bass, treble, and presence knobs are smaller; return and send aren't capitalized at the beginning. Those are the signs of a 90's Orange.

Recent Oranges have a dropped extender on the G...
