Orange Micro Terror SPECS:
While there is an absolute bevy of lunchbox heads
from Orange aimed towards the metalhead with
shallow pockets, I have decided to focus on the
Micro Terror, which is quite possibly the smallest
tube amp I have ever seen. It is not incredibly
complex, nor is it chock full of features, and it
most definitely is not expensive. This gainy little
monster manages to stay so small because of its
hybrid design utilizing both tube and solid-state
technologies. Now before readers go all “tone
snob” on me for using the “s-word,” allow me
to explain. This amp does one thing, and it does
it incredibly well. If players enjoy tones darker
and meatier then a growling black bear on a dark
mountain, this is the amp to own. Admittedly, the
lack of features of this amp may deter some,
but for the price and size, guitarists would
be hard-pressed not to take it for a whirl.
For those who want that dark Orange sound
but are worried the Micro Terror
doesn’t have enough features,
look no further than the Orange
Micro
Dark,
another hybrid
tube and solidstate
design
that utilizes an
FX loop and
adjustable mids
control.
