Orange Micro Terror MT20 20W Hybrid Guitar Amp Head

Product Information

Having said this, the sound could never be described as 'small'. These are louder than any amp this size has a right to be. I have used mine in some big rooms and still had sound guys telling me to turn down. If you're playing in venues with microphones for electric guitar, there'll never be an issue with dialling in a great clean tone. If anything, you'll want to run them a little bit hotter (isn't that always the way with guitarists?) because in my experience the best sounds have been just on the edge of breakup. Inspired by the Tiny Terror, our game-changing ‘lunchbox’ amplifier, the diminutive Micro Terror is the original micro amp. SINGLE ECC83 (12AX7) PREAMP VALVE I generally dial in a fairly transparent clean tone to use as a base for drive pedals, and have found that they work well with pedals. Obviously, there is no effects loop, so that's something to be aware of if you like running pedals through a loop. This scaled down cab's 8" speaker delivers a punchy tone and sound that has to be heard to be believed. Like all Orange speaker cabs it is built to last using extremely rugged construction and manufacturing techniques and stands out from the crowd with Orange's legendary basket weave Tolex grill cloth, Orange crest and badge. More than capable of powering our largest speaker cabinet, the PPC412 the Micro Terror is compatible with any cab with an impedance of 8 Ohms or greater. AUXILIARY INPUT

Ignore the headphone output, it never sounds good on any orange amps I've tried. Sounds shrill and thin when driven. If you're buying it for headphone practice, don't bother. I'd rather recommend using either Vox AmPlug series or a loadbox with custom IRs for silent practice. Their cab sim tech needs some work. Please note: This product does not come with a speaker cable. Please see the related items section for an appropriate cable. Specification Great amp, sounds amazing, just a shame it’s not brand new, as advertised, looks slightly ex demo, otherwise it would be 5 stars. With a high tensile steel case is it built to the same rugged specifications as the other members of the Terror family and is incredibly compact and highly portable. This is a true Orange Amp classic, with masses of vintage British character, clean crunch and full-on overdrive sounds.The first thing to note about these amps is obviously their size. They are significantly smaller than a loaf of bread, and look amusingly small on top of a 2x12 cabinet. You could easily do a small pub gig with this amp and there are many videos on the 'the tube' which show how it can easily drive a 4x12. There is also the option to swap out the pre-amp valve for a better one, but until the one in it dies, I am quite happy with the sound. The Orange Micro Terror sounds bigger than it looks, being the most portable Orange Terror so far. A hybrid of both solid state amp technology and traditional valve pre amp amplification, the Micro Terror features a power output of 20 watts. Highly portable and compact, this mini tube amp is a true Orange classic, with vitnage British character from clean crunch to massive overdrive tones.

Other Features: Single channel hybrid, valve preamp with solid state power amp. Auxiliary input for MP3 or CD. So can an amplifier this physically small really deliver the kind of juicy crunch upon which Orange built its reputation?I modified my Fender Mustang 1 amp so that I could connect its speaker to the PPC108 cab and now the amp sounds even better! The sounds seems more rounded and complete somehow, so I recommend running it with two 8'' speakers if you can to get the perfect Orange sound.

The tone control is very basic but extreme from ear splitting sharpness to sounding like it is under a dozen pillows. I have combined this with an Orange Two Stroke to drive the front end a bit harder and have a much wider control of the tone shaping and I am in heaven. The Micro Terror features one preamp tube (12AX7) and a 20w Solid State output section. This hybrid combination of tube and transistor allows the Micro Terror to get the warmth and complexity of tube tube tone but with the weight reduction benefit of solid state technology. So you get the portability of orange's Crush range of solid states but with a tone closer to the awesome tube tone of the Tiny Terror. These are a remarkably good amp for their price and size. As an amp for small gigs (or even for bigger events) these perform far beyond what they look like they should be capable of. Hot on the heels of such additions to the range as the none-more-metal Dark Terror and the Terror Bass heads comes a pair of new models: the Signature #4 Jim Root unit and Orange's smallest head yet, the impossibly cute Micro Terror.The Orange Micro Terror features the same rugged metal build quality as other Terror amps but at just (approximately) 9" wide by 6" tall the Micro Terror takes 'portable' to another level. An aux input allows a MP3 player or CD player to be added to the mix sent to the speaker making this a perfect tool for practising The Orange Micro Terror houses a single 12AX7 pre-amp tube, powering 20 watts RMS of solid-state output. The Micro Terror is powered via a 15-volt DC supplier and features a handy auxiliary input for MP3 player, CD player etc and can be plugged into to any cabinet with 4-ohm or greater handing - it'll even a power a 4 x 12 cabinet... Seriously! Orange Amplification's Micro Terror is their smallest Terror ever! Building on the winning recipe of the rest of the popular Terror series, the Micro Terror retains the beautiful unpretentious design, delivering a classic Orange sound way bigger than it looks, with a size and weight making it extremely portable.
