Orange Amps Outlowd ES100 by Ed Sheeran

The Flagship of the ES Series: An Uncompromising "Pro Acoustic" Vision

Designed as the high-end model of the Outlowd ES series, the ES100 has a clear goal: to offer acoustic guitarists and singers an amp capable of handling a concert without sacrificing the natural tone. The collaboration with Ed Sheeran emphasizes faithful reproduction, airy highs, and a presence that remains stable as volume increases.
The concept is a "road-ready" amp: comfortable power, premium speaker, and connectivity designed to work both independently and with a front-of-house system. The result: a combo that naturally becomes the heart of a modern acoustic rig, from coffeehouse gigs to large stages.

Who the Outlowd ES100 Is For: Stage, Rehearsal, Studio, and Acoustic Performances

The ES100 is primarily aimed at musicians seeking a reliable and versatile 100 W acoustic amp: singer-songwriters, singer-guitarists, voice/guitar duos, or instrumentalists alternating between fingerstyle, strumming, and more dynamic passages. Its power reserve and definition help maintain solid projection during rehearsals and live shows, even in noisy environments.
Thanks to its two channels, it is well suited for "all-in-one" performances: an electro-acoustic guitar on the instrument channel and a microphone on the vocal channel, each with its own settings. Style-wise, it excels in genres where transparency matters: acoustic pop, folk, indie, ballads, worship, variety, and any context where a clear voice and a guitar that stays audible in the mix are desired.

Two Channels, Precise Controls, and Live-Ready Connectivity

The ES100's philosophy is simple: fine control and efficiency. Each channel features a 3-band EQ with mid-frequency adjustment, a real advantage for tailoring the amp to your instrument, microphone, and room. You can scoop out intrusive low-mids, bring out picking attack, or soften overly bright tones without "breaking" the natural sound.
The reverb is independently adjustable on each channel: useful for keeping vocals relatively dry and intelligible while adding a wider halo to the guitar (or vice versa). On the microphone channel, the ES100 adds essential tools for real-world conditions: 48 V phantom power for condenser mics and a high-pass filter (HPF) to clean up lows, reduce handling noise, and control resonances.
To integrate into your effects chain, the effects loop allows you to place external processors in the right spot (for example, a delay or looper depending on your workflow). For the stage, the symmetrical XLR D.I. output facilitates direct sending to the console, with a Ground Lift switch to reduce hum caused by ground loops.

Sound: Transparency, Warmth, and Definition Even at High Volume

As a transistor amplifier, the ES100 focuses on fast response and great stability, especially appreciated on acoustic instruments. The goal is not to overly color but to respect the character of your guitar and voice: clear attacks, readable mids, and dynamics that follow your playing, from light touch to heavy rhythms.
The combo pairs a Celestion neodymium speaker with a tweeter to add air in the high frequencies. This combination helps keep highs clean and open while maintaining a warm, natural foundation. In practice, this translates into a spacious clean sound, excellent note definition in fingerstyle, and a voice that remains understandable without harshness, even when the volume is turned up. With the mid-frequency adjustment, you can easily tailor presence and projection to your guitar (dreadnought, auditorium, electro nylon, etc.) and your microphone.
