The Range 120 Guitar Amplifier Plugin
The latest plugin from Nembrini Audio is the Range 120, a faithful virtual reproduction of the legendary 1970’s Orange OR-120*.
The Orange OR-120, used by Jimmy Page of Led Zepplin, is revered by musicians for its full bodied, warm monster tones, great cleans and classic rock grit. The savagery of the amp’s overdrive character is unique. Designed to pair seamlessly with a variety of speakers, the versatile OR-120 offers guitarists looking to expand their rig, a multitude of possibilities.
The new Range 120 Guitar Amplifier plugin captures the sonic signature of this iconic amp, ranging from bold clean tones to thick saturated overdrive. It delivers the unmistakable character that made the physical amp a favorite among rock and heavy music pioneers. With additional stompbox effects, studio-grade processing and cabinet/mic flexibility, this plugin combines vintage soul with modern control, putting classic tone right at a guitarist’s fingertips.
