In the mid-1990s Cliff licensed the Orange trademark to the Gibson Corporation in America and reissues of 1970s' Orange amp designs were soon back on the world stage; especially so after Oasis's Noel Gallagher went Orange and used the amps to record their first two albums.

But Orange really began to blossom once again when it was back in Cliff’s hands in the late-1990s: the company came up with some new designs to mark its 30th anniversary: namely, the AD series of Class A combos. These amplifiers proved to be so popular, that the series was expanded to include 30 watt and 140 watt twin channel guitar heads and a 200-watt bass amp.
