YouTube video Landon Bailey · 2025-02 — Review video: This Amp is OFFENSIVELY LOUD For Its Size - Orange O Tone 40

Landon Bailey's video focuses on how loud the O Tone 40 is for a 1x12 cabinet, which is the main thing to know about a 40W solid-state combo.

Why it matters

It is a clean, single-channel amp with a 3-band EQ, so your drive pedals shape the sound and the amp stays out of the way. 40W Class A/B into a 60W Voice of the World 1x12 at 4 ohm gives it enough headroom for a practice room or a small gig, and it weighs 11.75 kg. A buffered FX loop, digital spring-modelled reverb, footswitchable JFET tremolo and a headphone/cab-sim line out come as standard.

Note

Orange's NAMM 2025 solid-state 1x12 is a clean, pedal-friendly single-channel platform that Orange's own technical director calls 'ludicrously loud for its size'. Buffered FX loop, reverb and tremolo at a $399 street price make it a practice-room and small-gig workhorse.
