Went to my local music shop to audition a Rocker 15 combo and unfortunately they'd just sold their one in stock. I asked if they'd be getting more in at the same (good) price so they called Orange. Apparently they're are none available for restocking and they are going to be discontinued! Nothing online about it and the page is still up on the Orange website so I hope this is bollocks but this is a very reputable shop and I don't see why they'd make it up.

Anyone else heard anything like this?

The Orange ticks all the boxes functionality wise with its bedroom/headroom options but it would be good to know if there's any alternatives to investigate without hitting boutique builder territory.

Should I just be looking at power scaling/attenuation or are there 15W+ amps where using a master volume to play at lower volume doesn't just deliver a pale imitation of the amp's "real" sound?

EDIT: To clarify, I'm looking specifically for valve (toob) amplifiers, good though Katanas and ToneMasters are at what they do.
