Longtime player, but I'm new to Orange amps and this forum. I just picked up a used (but mint condition) Rocker 30 about a month ago and I am EXTREMELY impressed with this little amp. It hurts me to say it, but it sounds better than my old JCM800!! Makes me wonder why I never tried one of these out decades ago! Anyhow, I have a question (or two) about my new favorite amp:
1) The power indicator light is not working at all. Everything else works just fine so I don't think their are any power circuit issues. I haven't looked at all, but can I just replace a bulb or do I need a tech to fix this?
2) I'm wondering how well one of these amps would drive an additional Orange 2x12 cabinet (PPC212 or PPC212-OB, I'm not sure which would suit me better), or possibly even 4x12 cabinet. It should be a direct plug n' play shouldn't it????
Any advice will be GREATLY appreciated!!

Re: Rocker 30 power indicator light
Congrats on the amp. Probably my favorite Orange amp. The bulb is replaceable easily. Just unscrew the jewel, and you'll see the bulb. It's a push and turn to get it out. 6.3 volt bulb like this - https://www.amplifiedparts.com/products ... yonet-base . I usually order them from online suppliers when I'm ordering a bunch of parts, but I have found them in local hardware stores. If a new bulb doesn't do the trick then it's probably a connection issue a tech should look at.
You'll have no problem driving another cab! Just make sure you use the proper outputs! Two 16 ohm cabs = 8 ohms so plug each 16 ohm cab into each 8 ohm output, or if the cabs are daisy chained, use one 8 ohm output.
