Orange Rockerverb 100 MKIII - 100-watt 2-channel Tube Head - Black Reviews
In the early 2000s, a new era of high-gain Orange Amplification tone was ushered in with the Rockerverb series of electric guitar amplifiers. The all-tube Rockerverb 100 MKIII is the culmination of over a decade of fine-tuned adjustments to that game-changing amplifier. The MKIII offers a newly-voiced clean channel for a more versatile chimey tone and a dirty channel that will take you anywhere from classic British crunch to the very heaviest in modern metal. Add in power-scaling and footswitchable attenuation and there's nowhere the Rockerverb 100 MKIII can't take you.

Everything you’d expect from a high end amp
This amp does not disappoint, I hate using the term versatile bc it make it sound like it does a lot, but nothing well. But actually does great cleans and gear super gritty like you want from an orange. The power options are fantastic. I can't get enough of how well this thing sounds.
Shockerverb!
This amp is heavy as hell but the sound it produces is oh so sweet! From liquidy cleans to smooth overdrive to raunch. Takes pedals well and sounds amazing! Cannot believe I waited so long to try one
Stage to bedroom! Long term review.
I've had this head now for 2 years.
Band practice
Home quiet practice
On stage.
It shines in every instance.
The built in attenuator power scaler means this amp can go from whisper quiet to arena loud and never sound bad, or more Importantly, lose feel.
Doesn't matter how low volume I have it, it always feels great.
Open it up, and it just goes and goes and goes.
Pro tip: put a graphic EQ in the effects loop and it REALLY wakes up the tone and musical voice of this amp.
Effects loop is killer, attenuator is killer, reverb is killer.
Gain for days, and it's all playable.
The speakers and cab you use will really dictate the feel and response.
For low volume stuff, I use a 60 watt 2x12. The lower power handling keeps it crisp and lively at low to moderate volumes.
When I want to really crank it, I use a Mesa boogie 4x12 and it hits like a 100 watt hammer.
Cons:
It's heavy as hell. But, get strong.
The clean channel is naturally EQed to be bass heavy, so EQ with your ears and not your eyes. I get an amazing clean, but I have the bass at 7 o'clock and the treble one click from maxed out. It's still warm, but is very clear and doesn't get too fuzzy with pedals thrown in.
Zeus' Lighningverb MKIII 100
After years of waisting money on pedals to get the "TONE" I finally came to the conclusion that I need the Rockerverb MkIII 100. Got a killer deal from Ryan, my sales guy, so I had to go for it. If you are wondering if the 50W version is enough, all I have to say is that I have the "half" switch to go to 50Ws but I tried it once and that was it; I need 100W to reach sonic climax. The 100W is beefier and clearer. The attenuator is killer as I have everything cranked, with the attenuator 2 clicks away from maximum, and that is how I practice at bedroom volumes. My playing has changed since I got this monster as I hear so much more of what my fingers do to the strings. When I first got it home from the cold the sound was not quite there yet, but once this baby warms up, the sound comes to life and my strings sing like Zeus's lighning bolts shaking the sky and the earth below.
