The portable series is designed around real-world playing, from home practice to live performances.
Orange Amps and Ed Sheeran have launched the Outlowd ES Series – three acoustic amplifiers spanning home practice, busking and full live performance.
Catch up on all the latest news here.
At the centre of the range is the ES60, a battery-powered 60W busking amp with an 8″ Voice of the World whizzer cone speaker. The amp covers dedicated guitar and vocal channels, +48V phantom power, built-in reverb, Bluetooth playback, balanced line out and an FX loop. A rechargeable Li-Ion battery and padded gig bag are also included for true portability.
The most compact of the series is the ES3. It’s a 3W rechargeable acoustic amp with a 4″ full-range speaker, reverb, Bluetooth, USB-C charging and a leather carry strap.
Of the three, the ES100 sits at the top of the range as a full PA option, running a 12″ Celestion full-range neodymium driver paired with a Celestion HF tweeter for larger venues and more demanding live environments.
Sheeran has been open about the intent behind the collaboration, saying, “Music doesn’t start in arenas or on streaming platforms. It starts in bedrooms, youth clubs, pubs, schools, parks, living rooms and street corners. That’s where I found my voice.”
Alongside the amps, Orange has launched Outlowd: Play It Home, a global campaign supporting grassroots music culture. The campaign kicked off in Sheeran’s hometown of Ipswich on 5 June, where he performed a six-track set with local singer-songwriter Lianne Kaye. A nine-year-old audience member, Felix, left with a new amp and 12 months of fully funded music lessons. The campaign will travel to Sydney, Toronto, Paris, Los Angeles, Tokyo and other cities through retailer-supported sessions.
The ES3 and ES60 are available now through Orange and selected retailers. The ES100 is available for pre-order.
