Orange Amps Outlowd ES60 by Ed Sheeran

A signature acoustic amp designed for mobility, at the heart of the ES series

Developed in collaboration with Ed Sheeran, the ES60 stands as the core model of the Outlowd ES series. The concept is simple: offer a premium acoustic amp that retains the "plug-and-play" ease valued by traveling musicians, while providing precise enough settings to adapt to different instruments, various microphones, and ever-changing venues.
With its 60 watts, it positions itself as the balance point of the range: more powerful and complete than a small backup amp, yet significantly easier to transport than a full PA system. The result: a combo designed to follow the musician in real life, from the living room to the sidewalk, without changing philosophy.

Who is the ES60 for, and in what contexts does it make a difference?

The Outlowd ES60 targets acoustic guitarists and singer-songwriters seeking a reliable, autonomous, and versatile amp. It suits both beginners looking for flattering sound at low volume and experienced musicians needing a practical tool to chain rehearsals and gigs.
Its natural playground is acoustic music in the broad sense: pop, folk, singer-songwriter, variety, and anything requiring clear cleans and well-placed vocals. On the street, it delivers a clean and balanced guitar/vocal set. In small venues, the D.I. output facilitates sending to a PA if needed, while keeping the ES60 as a personal monitor.

Two independent channels, FX Loop, and Bluetooth: a true nomadic control center

The ES60 relies on a clear architecture: two channels designed for "instrument + microphone" use. The instrument channel features a 3-band EQ enhanced by a mid-frequency control: ideal for taming a too-bright acoustic, thickening fingerpicking, or conversely opening the sound for broader strumming. Reverb and volume allow final mix placement without hassle.
The microphone channel goes further to adapt to vocals and stage mics: 48V phantom power (Phantom Power switch) for compatible condenser mics, high-pass filter (HPF) to clean low end and reduce handling noise, plus a 3-band EQ with adjustable mid frequencies. A gain control helps manage levels depending on the mic and vocal intensity. Finally, the effects loop (FX Loop) allows clean insertion of external effects, and the Bluetooth serves both to play back tracks and manage musical breaks between sets.

Sound character: clarity, projection, and dynamics serving the acoustic

Built on transistor amplification, the Outlowd ES60 aims for a clean, precise, and stable sound with a fast response that respects pick attacks as well as finger nuances. This yields an articulated clean tone, very useful for highlighting details in percussive playing, tight arpeggios, or vocals placed close to the mic, without unwanted distortion.
The 8-inch Orange Voice of the World (VOTW) speaker provides direct projection and good midrange clarity, helping the instrument stay present in open environments (street) or reverberant spaces (small venues). Thanks to parametric mids on each channel, problematic frequencies (boomy, nasal, harsh) can be quickly corrected to achieve a more "studio" sound without external EQ.
