ORANGE ROCKERVERB 50 MK3 NEO COMBO

The Orange Rockerverb 50 MKIII Neo Combo is a 50-watt two-channel all-valve combo featuring the Rockerverb MKIII circuit in a lightweight combo format, loaded with a custom-voiced Celestion Neo speaker for reduced weight without sacrificing tone.

When we put together the Rockerverb 50 MkIII combo back in 2015, we incorporated years of user feedback from previous iterations to come up with the ultimate workhorse amp. There’s always progress to be made, though, and the latest set of improvements to the best combo around sees the Rockerverb 50 MkIII combo placed on a crash diet, helping it trim down to a more manageable weight while retaining all its appealing sonic characteristics. And the result is the Rockerverb 50 MkIII Neo combo — the same beautiful amp but with an updated speaker and cabinet formation inspired by our PPC212V cab, making it nearly 20% lighter than before.

Where have all those kilos gone, then? Well, a small contribution is that the Rockerverb 50’s cabinet is now made from 15 mm Baltic birch ply, 3 mm more slender than before but sacrificing none of the build quality that make all Orange cabs so robust. The biggest weight saving, though, comes courtesy of the new pair of Celestion Creamback speakers that replace the V30s of old, saving almost 3 kg per speaker thanks to their use of neodymium, a hugely more magnetic metal than the standard ferrite, meaning less material is needed to achieve the same beautiful-sounding results.
