Q281 - Q Quiz: Win a top notch amplifier!

Comments

Win! A top-notch amplifier worth over £1600

Q has teamed up with the generous people at Orange - manufacturers of the finest guitar amplifiers in Britain - to offer one very lucky winner a top-of-the-range Orange Rockerverb 50H valve guitar amplifier head with two channels plus a rather attractive and indestructible speaker cabinet. That little lot is worth over £1600.

These superb amps are used by such notable guitar-manglers as Jimmy Page and Prince and are renowned for their two-stage "clean" and four-stage "dirty" sound channels. The clean channel is one of the smoothest and cleanest ever produced, while the dirty channel is, and we quote, "pure liquid orange rock'n'roll".

The peerless Rockerverb was developed to offer musicians the unique signature Orange sound. The PPC 412 speaker cabinet (see above), like the Orange amplifiers, are built to last, using extremely rugged construction and can be toured around the world with complete confidence. For further information on Orange's product range go to www.orangeamps.com.

For a chance to win this state-of-the-art prize, pit your wits against the Q Quiz below. The closing date is November 27, 2009.

  • Thanks to Nick that explains a lot - but also goes to show they don't read these comments as they haven't corrected it. Yes Thomas I'll give you 17 if you tell me who 20 and 21 are!
