Yes, they usually do a grand unveiling at musikmess or NAMM.

I guess that's one new product we can get all excited about!!!

I gotta say though, features listed on them are all features that people on this forum have wanted to see on an amp. Perhaps they're listening to us? Stereo options, bedroom level attenuation, small combo, two speakers, two channel 15 watt'er, bring back the Rocker etc... If they are listening to us, thanks Orange!

nah.. i have no doubts.. its not going to replace the R30 for me, but I am stoked that it is being reintroduced.. more folk need to be playing this amp.

and of course, it still leaves space open for a new R30 head to come out :)... with fx loop would increase its appeal too

If they release a single channel Rocker-Terror head version, I'll be all over that!

Wonder why ZZounds had these categorized under Solid State Amps...that's weird.

I am thinking this makes the original rocker 30 even more classic, as I liked the design of it better, but I do get the new offering as it does have features that many would want.

Did the R32 have EL84's as well or EL34's?

EL84.

I hope I'll get to try it in my local shop.
Very interesting amp - I wonder how similar it will be to my R30 head.

I gotta say, except for the 2x10" speakers, the Rocker 32 looks like a real winner!

2x10 should be ok. I've had very good experience with a Peavey Delta Blues on a 2x10 config. But yeah personally, I'd go with a head and ext cab combination myself. :mrgreen:

Ade Emsley created a 2x10 cab for the 10th Anny Shiny Terror. My Marshall Offset 1w with its 10" driver has more low end than my PPC112 driven by my TTHW. Not saying it's better... no, no, no... just saying...

Speaker size means nothing! I lost those prejudices way back. Have had massive guitar sounds from 10" drivers. (And sweet crisp ones from 15"ers too BTW.)

FWIW I've also gigged both my smallest bass combos (1x6" and 1x8" MicroMarks by Markbass) recently and had great bass sounds with either, just depending on room size. The 1x8" in particular normally needs the low end tamed by raising it off the floor some - seriously! Size can matter but really isn't everything! ;)

Do we know anything about these speakers yet? Orange spec Celestions hopefully?

Nah, my only real doubts would be about the EL84s. Like Jondog I think the two EL34s gave the original R.30 a special something. Not that I dislike EL84s at all, and end results are really more down to design than valve choice. Benefit of the doubt probably wise.

New Rockers though, eh? Neat! Huge fan of the old one. If I needed stereo for guitar that would be sooo tempting...
