Orange OR-120 owned by Noël Gallagher of OASIS !

They played American guitars, but the Oasis lads have always stood by British amplification. Noel Gallagher has created most of his sounds, live or studio, on the three brands from his home country: Vox, Marshall (a JCM900 in the nineties) and Orange.

This big OR-120 head is a rarity in itself, since it’s one of the very few amps made by Orange in the nineties, back when Gibson had licenced the brand. Gibson wanted to keep a British production, so they called upon Matamp, the historic builder of the very first Orange amps, infamous for their huge and very powerful sound. Faithful to that reputation, the Gibson reissues, which were only made from 1994 to 1997, are true monsters. It is virtually impossible to stand in front of the oversized 4x12 when the master volume is dimed.

This beautiful stack used to belong to Noel Gallagher. He used it on his band’s first albums, which went a long way towards putting the Orange brand back on track. Gallagher himself was consulted to help with the first new models when Cliff Cooper took back his band in the late nineties. This OR-120 can easily be spotted in the video for “Stop Crying Your Heart Out”, the second single off the 2002 album Heathen Chemistry, a proof that this good old Orange has remained among his owner’s favorites for a long time.
