Achilles Orion 25 Head
The Essence of Vintage Californian Tone – Refined and Reimagined
The search for the ultimate vintage-inspired amp ends here—the Achilles Orion 25 Head delivers a masterfully blended mix of classic Californian tones in a compact, powerhouse format.
At its core is a beautifully balanced Brownface-meets-Blackface preamp, offering rich, textured overdrive and dynamic response. This feeds into a 6V6-powered Bassman-style output section, delivering signature compression, warmth, and touch sensitivity at just the right wattage for studio and stage.
The Orion 25 doesn’t stop there—it features a reinforced power supply inspired by the Super Reverb, paired with a solid-state rectifier for enhanced tightness, improved headroom, and crisp top-end clarity.
For modulation and ambience, you get the real deal: a true tube-driven Harmonic Pulse Tremolo—authentically ‘60s and unmistakably lush, with that unique swirling, flange-like movement no modern tremolo can replicate. The onboard spring reverb includes a Dwell control, letting you dial in how deeply the reverb saturates your signal for everything from subtle depth to full surf wash.
Handcrafted to the highest standard, the Orion 25 features point-to-point, hardwired construction using silver Teflon-coated wire and USA-made custom-spec transformers—ensuring reliability, performance, and tone integrity for years to come.
The Achilles Orion 25 Head is more than just a tribute—it’s a meticulously curated expression of a golden era, refined for today’s discerning guitarist.
