Orange Outlowd ES100 100W Acoustic Guitar & Vocal Amplifier

Quick Product Summary

The Orange Outlowd ES100 is the flagship amplifier in the Ed Sheeran Outlowd ES Series, delivering 100 watts of clean acoustic power for professional guitarists, singer-songwriters and live performers. Designed to keep acoustic instruments and vocals natural and defined at performance volume, it combines dedicated guitar and microphone channels with detailed EQ, independent reverb and comprehensive stage connectivity.

A premium 12-inch Celestion neodymium speaker and 1-inch HF tweeter provide full-range projection, while +48V phantom power, an effects loop and balanced output make the ES100 ready to integrate into professional live and studio setups.

What Makes the Orange Outlowd ES100 Special?

Developed in collaboration with Ed Sheeran, the ES100 takes the Outlowd concept into professional live-performance territory. Its 100-watt output is focused on clean headroom rather than distortion, helping acoustic guitars retain their natural dynamics and vocals remain clear as stage volume increases. The dedicated guitar channel offers sweepable mid controls and adjustable Q for precise tone shaping and feedback management, while the separate microphone channel provides extensive vocal EQ, a high-pass filter and phantom power.

The speaker system is another major step up. A lightweight 12-inch Celestion neodymium driver works alongside a dedicated 1-inch high-frequency tweeter to reproduce the broad frequency range needed for convincing acoustic guitar and vocal amplification. With an effects loop and balanced line output completing the package, the ES100 is designed as a serious all-in-one solution for demanding performances.

Who Is It For?

The Orange Outlowd ES100 is aimed at professional singer-songwriters, acoustic guitarists, vocalists and live performers who need substantially more headroom and projection than a compact practice or busking amplifier.

It is particularly well suited to performers who want to run acoustic guitar and vocals through one amplifier, while retaining detailed individual control over both sources. Its balanced output also makes it ideal for stages where the amplifier needs to feed a larger PA system while acting as the performer's personal stage amplification.
