Second Hand Orange Rockerverb 50 MkI Head & PPC412 Cab
Note- Head is available on its own or with the Cab. Select option from the drop down menu - Head + Cab price is $200 cheaper than buying head and cab separately.
*Shipping for the cab will be quoted upon purchase.
The original Rockerverb. The one before the tweaks, the redesigns, and the reissues. This is where the Rockerverb legend started.
Launched back in 2003 as Orange's first-ever high-gain amplifier, the Rockerverb 50 MKI carved out a sound that later versions have spent years trying to recapture. Fitted with 6V6 output tubes — a spec you won't find on any Rockerverb that came after it — this MKI delivers a warmer, glassier clean tone and a dirty channel that breaks up with a softer, more musical compression than the EL34-loaded MKIIs and MKIIIs. It's the amp session players and Orange collectors quietly hunt for.
Two fully valve-driven channels give you real range in one box. The Clean channel is a 2-stage design with dedicated bass and treble — think Fender-adjacent sparkle with a distinctly 3D, shimmery character once the onboard spring reverb kicks in. The Dirty channel is a 4-stage gain monster with a full 3-band EQ, equally happy sitting in light crunch territory or diving into thick, saturated high-gain — the tone that put Rockerverb on the map in the first place.
Everything runs through valves, including the footswitchable spring reverb and the tube-buffered effects loop, so your pedals and outboard gear stay in a fully analog signal path from input to output.

Why This One's Different
Later Rockerverb models moved to EL34 output tubes and added footswitchable attenuation and selectable wattage — great upgrades, but they also changed the amp's core voice. The MKI's 6V6 configuration is the reason players describe this specific version as smoother on the clean side and more vintage-voiced when pushed. Orange doesn't make this configuration anymore.
Grab a piece of Rockerverb history before someone else does.
This head has been fully serviced and tested. Back grill is missing.
