Damn this dude has one of the most soothing voices I've ever heard

Speaking as a graphic designer, Orange is probably the coolest looking of all the famous amp brands. You know you've designed an iconic logo when it hasn't really been changed for 50 years. That's quite an achievement!

I can listen this man all day

What a wholesome guy

This man...such a wonderful gentleman. I had the wonderful opportunity to interview him at NAMM for Orange's 50th Anniversary and he could not have been kinder and more thankful for my being there. I have been using Orange amps predominantly for the last 10 years of my life and when he found out he was so happy to know his amplifiers were my choice. He still feels that excitement knowing his products are loved. He's a wonderful man and a bright spot in this world.

"We decided to call the amplifier Orange. We painted the shop orange, it was my favorite colour." My kindred spirit hahahahaha Thanks for everything, Mr. Cooper! Your amps are fucking amazing, love'em

For a brand that has amps with great distorted sounds, this guy has a really soothing voice

Get this man to explain how a tube guitar amplifier works. He's a joy to listen to!

I want a complete video series on the history of Orange. Mr. Cooper is a treasure trove of knowledge and has made an iconic line of amplifiers that proudly stand alongside Vox and Marshall.

Absolutely legendary. He’s the David Attenborough of music and rock, haha.

I just bought an Orange PPC412! rock n roll !

I want a hug from this guy

This is the most British man alive.

We need a weekly hour show with Mr. Cooper telling stories.

Nailed it with the lunchbox amp concept. Look what that did to the amplifier market.

Now I want to buy an orange amp this man is great!

This brings it all back . I had a band in 69 ,we recorded two tracks in the basement studio. I put my SG Special through a 120 head with 4x12 cab . It ripped the room up!! . I think they had the mixer from Joe Meek's studio .Fleetwood mac were in the shop on the same day also . Great times . Thanks Mr Cooper

If in the world there would be more people like this guy it would be a better place.

I think Cliff could be the most wholesome man of all time.

How does a conversation between Cliff and Brent Hinds go? A sit down with a nice cup of tea and a chat?

The Orange OR15 is one of the best vintage-voiced rock amps you can get. Lightweight and very affordable at around $699 USD. I love that juicy orange! Great video featuring a living legend!

Orange Amps were always a part of Radio Bremen's Musikladen shows!

Wtf reverb and orange with an ASMR video

what a delightful gentleman he is, makes one proud to use his amps.

Is there an extended version of this wow

Great video!! It is awesome to hear the history from the owner of the Orange company. Such awesome history. I'd love to own one someday.

These are the best amps in my opinion. Yes, yes, Marshall is great. I like the classic-y tones of one, I like Blackstar to match my newfound metal side, but Orange stays diverse and deep, matching perfectly with my classic rock, punk, and metal taste. I love Orange amps, and I hope to buy a bigger one soon. I have a Crush 20.

Blind Owl Wilson played on orange amps in 69 and early 70!

What a charming man. Thanks for sharing this history Cliff.

Cliff, thank you, thank you for your time and history lesson of one of the best amps. I just have the Orange Crush Mini 3W but they're gonna get bigger. So good to see you're doin ok. Congrats on 50 years!...

I have always wanted an Orange Matamp. Some day...

WONDERFUL! Such memories.

Met Cliff probably 17-18 years ago at NAMM. One of the nicest, most sincere chaps I’ve met. I love the original valve amps they made. Even back in the early 70’s I wanted one..

Great interview! thanks for sharing.

Hella pleased with my Rocker 15. Thank you for what you do. Keep producing quality and never compromise like Gibson and Fender and many other companies have done!

Behind the moost innovate amp the most humble artist.thank you

This guy does not seem like he would survive the cut-throat world of running an International business! Legend.

This makes me very happy. ❤️ great video guys!

I think I know the secret to his company's success: he hypnotizes people into buying Orange amps with his calm soothing voice. (Also, it helps that the amps kick ass, too.)

I just bought my first Orange Amplifier. I'm very happy. I am more educated with respect to Fender amps (boooo big time) and Marshall (what have they done) but have in my quest discovered a pure, wonderful clean clarity in a simplified and effective design, the Orange Amp. Love it! Amazing that the clean tone of a single channel tube amp would be superior to any of the so called 'tone monster' amps. Finally, the gain is superior to any amp gain on any of the gain monster amps.

What a lovely story, a unique and influential company.

OMG, i love stories like these!

I would hug this man and thank him so much for his brilliant mind and hardwork because I had to work hard to own a solid state Crush Pro 120 in black and as a death metal guitarist I always fell in love since the first day I listened and played through a orange cab 🍊🖤

God bless this man

I didn’t know about ANY of this. I thought these started sometime around the late 90’s. Thanks for this

What a sweet and humble guy!!!

Thanks for a great vid 🙂

Watching this video help me make my mind up on what brand power amp to buy. Happy 50th Anniversary, Orange Amplifiers!!

I love my orange amps! First ever amp I fell in love with was my orange crush 12. I traded a spider line 6 (yuck) for it and never looked back. Rock on and thank you Cliff you absolute legend 🤘

Such a nice gentleman

Love Orange amps ❤

Could have had a Orange Matamp for $350 back in the early 90's but 8 didn't know what I had been looking at until my room mate put on a video of The Song Remains the Same. As Zep plows through the set I notice an amp I'd seen. I tell my mate I'd recently seen an amp exactly like the amp on the far right of Jimmy's set up. My friend went nuts telling me we have to go and see if it was still there! It was gone :.(

Hey seems like he’d be absolutely lovely to do brunch with. My wife doesn’t play guitar and thoroughly enjoyed this video because he seems like such a kind man. If you ever wind up in Charleston, I’ll take you to breakfast!

What a lovely bloke. I'd love to have a beer with him.

What a delightfully nice man. :)

Good to finally see the man that started Orange! They’ve always been a somewhat faceless company to me, so it’s great to finally see and hear Mr. Orange. 😉

You guys have to do one with Conrad Sundholm of Sunn amps

Absolutely wonderful…!!!! I truly love my ( ORANGE 🍊 CRUNCH PRO 120 head….!!!

how can a man with so soothing a voice make an amp that roars so loudly?

his voice is opposite of his amps

Love my Orange

Had the or120 overdrive with rare 6 12 cab best amp I ever owned bought it in Baltimore in 1974 had a Or 80 as well used with a Marshall B cab from early 70s with 20 watt greenbacks that head kept blowing the speakers out

I wish for any gift you may bestow upon me. Love your amps and a merry Christmas to all at orange Amps🎅

So cool

long live mr cliff I love orange!

Ironically enough, Orange make one of the best selling quality transistor amps on the market!

I got a combo bass amp will wil buy a tube bass amp in the future. I did them! A little less treble because no horn in my combo. But with a proper cabinet, it sounds great!

@Reverb Are the sounds the actual amps being played when they are shown and talked about? If so the earlier Matamp Orange sounds more looser/warmer and the "pics only" OR120 sounds tighter and slightly brighter a little closer to Marshall but still warm and fat too. I have a 72 pics only OR120 but would love a Matamp Orange like the white one he's playing in the beginning of the video. They should make a reissue of that amp down to the exact circuit and transformers etc . and while they are at it make the big 200 watt Orange Matamp with KT88's!

Amp of all ROCK Gods.\m/

Brilliant! But seeing the wall of vintage Orange amps this question arises: are more sound clips of some of the other amps coming up?

Makes me want to own an orange amp soon. I never had a real amp bigger than 30 watts

David Attenborough is that you? Lol Awesome video btw

always dreamed of owing a orange amp one day

Polite, well meaning. God bless him.

The ASMR is strong here

Dang I'll have to make a demo of my Jimmy Bean half stack some day soon! It IS a great sounding amp, but well, not THE BEST. I prefer the HH ones. Stay tuned!

Matamp represent?

I knew mcvie played one but I didn't think Peter did...thought he was a fender guy.....cool vid

Protect this man. Protect him with your lives.

I love my orange amp and epiphone sg standard guitar I playing blues rock and hard rock muisc my favorite bands is led zeppelin and deep purple and the doors.

Oh the accent!

do a video on sunns already

Bring back the OR120

From the small clips and comparing the sound of the Matamp version here to the Pics Only OR120 I think the OR120 sounds a bit tighter on the bottom and more focused in the mids maybe? More mid pucnh and less wooley? Anyone else hear that? I think I like the pics only OR120 better but the clips are so short it's hard to hear really. I have hear people say the Matamp version doesn't get quite as gainy as the pics only or later and the Matamp has more of a hifi sound whatever that means I'm not quite sure. I do like the slightly tighter bottom and punch of the mids on the pics only OR120 and and I think they got even gainier as time went on each year but again I'm ot 100% sure. If anyone knows these amps I would love to hear your take on the tone and sound differences. Thanks!

This man has lived a happy life. I want an 🍊 now

This is some good asmr

And here I thought Weezer brought them to the spot light, 50 Years?! So awesome, proud owner of a Tiny Terror.

Came for the amps, stayed for the ASMR

After 35 years I just wish I could play! Anything to help me sound passable would be great 😂

🍊🍊🍊❤️❤️❤️

Didn't know Stevie Wonder help push Orange early on

Funny the such a mellow-mannered guy would make powerful rock amplifiers!

👏🙌😃

Orange kicks ass man!! Screw those Japanese Amps..

I like using the Orange gear :D

I want him to narrate a childrens book for me.

If I was on the naming department I would have named it orange gas or orange fire or even orange ghost

They invented the effects loop

Well what can u say competition breeds innovation and improvements....its healthy....I'm a marshall guy but I dig orange....they all have that same type of saturated tone..... nothing wrong with that either lol

Wow kossoff too....green. mcvie. Koss . Walsh....maybe I need one lol that's why I suck dang
