Orange Gain Baby 100W, 2-Channel Solid-State Guitar Amp Head

The Gain Baby 100 is a 100-Watt 2 channel rackmount amp designed for players who demand tight, articulate high-gain tone in a streamlined format. Its all-analogue preamp delivers Orange’s signature richness and crunch, while the Tight switch reins in low-end boom for maximum clarity on fast riffs and palm-muted chugs. Add in a clean compressor to smooth dynamics and enhance sustain, and you’ve got a powerful, flexible amp that’s equally at home on stage or in a studio rack. With a rugged chassis, the Gain Baby 100 is ready to tour, record, or integrate into any professional setup.

Tight Switch for Controlled Low-End

Tightens bass response for palm-muting and fast riffs, perfect for modern styles and downtuned guitars.

The Gain Baby 100’s Tight switch is your ticket to ultra-focused high-gain tones. It filters out flabby low-end, making your playing feel faster, punchier and more controlled,especially when using extended-range guitars or aggressive palm muting. It’s a simple switch, but it changes everything.

Built-In Clean Compressor

Smooths dynamics and boosts sustain without colouring your tone or flattening your pick attack.

Integrated into the preamp stage, the Gain Baby’s clean VCA compressor helps level out dynamic playing without flattening your sound. It adds polish and presence to your tone, preserving the detail in your playing while enhancing sustain, with no extra pedal needed.

Rackmount-compatible Chassis

Compact steel build, designed to fit flight cases, racks, or mobile recording setups

Whether you’re building a portable fly-in rig or a full touring rack, the Gain Baby 100 fits the bill. Its tough chassis and optional rack ears make it easy to install, while rear-panel connectivity makes setup a breeze with a small footprint and massive tone.

Two Channels: Clean & Dirty

Switch between sparkling cleans and gritty overdrive, with a footswitchable volume boost on the dirty channel for effortless solos.

Built for tone and built to travel, the Gain Baby 100 puts punchy, high-gain Orange tone into a rock-solid steel chassis. Its valve-style analogue preamp delivers everything from crunchy rhythms to saturated leads, while the Tight switch cuts unwanted low-end flub, making it ideal for downtuned guitars and modern metal. The Dirty channel also features a 2nd Volume control, ideal for boosting solos.

The clean channel features a VCA compressor which subtly balances your playing, enhancing attack and sustain without losing dynamic range. Around the back, the Gain Baby offers minimum 8-Ohm speaker outs, a balanced XLR line-out with ground lift, and a series effects loop for delay and modulation. Whether it’s racked up in your live rig or stashed in a travel case, this amp is built for big tone and life on the road. It’s compact, powerful, and unapologetically Orange.
