Product Description
Orion 25 Combo
The hunt is over with the Achilles Amplification Orion 25!
If you’ve ever wanted a true top shelf mix of the defining features of classic vintage era Californian amps tonefully distilled into a knockout package, then check this out…
A balanced combination of a Brownface meets Blackface preamp for textured rich overdrive, into a Bassman style 6V6 poweramp section for even more signature compression.
This is offset with a beefed up power supply similar to a Super Reverb with a solid state rectifier for more tightness and top end clarity.
Add in a true 60’s style Tube Harmonic Pulse Tremolo (NOTHING has that whirling/flange effect!), with Reverb featuring a Dwell control to feed the Reverb into the signal.
Speaker options are flexible, from the classic Jensen P12Q (mid focused bite with warm, bright highs) to the Blackbird P12/40 (deep lows, firm midrange and brilliant highs) to the high headroom P12/100 for unrivalled brilliant dimension and clarity across lows, mids and highs for both cleans and drive).
Finally, all hardwired construction using silver Teflon coated wire with USA made custom spec transformers ensures the practicalities are taken care of at the highest level.
Snare yourself a real prize with the Orion 25 - truly a hand selected mix of the defining features of a classic era.

Speaker Descriptions:
P12Q - Warm, mid-focused bite with bright, distinct highs. Even with overdrive distortion, it maintains its state of balance.
Blackbird 12” 40 - Warm and organic sounding, with a strong midrange, a clear, chime-filled treble range, and an exceptionally deep and controlled bottom end. able to respond brilliantly and in detail while producing harsh, overdriven tones
Blackbird 12” 100 - Rich, thick low-end, dazzling highs, and a wonderfully warm, silky finish. Overdrive distortion is managed by highlighting vibrant details and being resilient even at extreme crunch.
Alnico Cream - Warm lows and a stunning bell-like chime emanate from the Cream as they provide a lovely, laid-back onslaught. Its organic and smooth mids are further enhanced by a fine-grained detail that gives the vocal range a high-definition feel.
