Rocker 15 Terror : Probably the last amp I will buy for a long time

5 years ago

Disclaimer: I was previously playing through Orange Micro Terror so I do like the "orange" sound.

The packaging: the amp comes with a padded bag that is very nice to use and does not come with a footswitch. I personally think that orange footswitches are a bit bulky so this was not an issue for me.

The sound: I was always a fan of Orange breakup tones and this does deliver everything I was hoping for. In my one-man-band setup it fills the sonic space nicely and has a really punchy mid-range (paired with a V30 cabinet). I can get a really nice variety of gain tones and It all works really well. What I was surprised with is how much I liked the clean tones and how much I end up using the clean channel as a result.

The amp is loud, and I do mean LOUD. The headroom/bedroom switch as well as half/full power work wonders for this. I am yet to be able to take it off the headroom mode for either practice or live as it gets plenty loud. I find that even in 1W mode it is loud enough to hold its own with my small drum kit.

It does have fx loop which is great for delays/looping.

Overall I love the amp and it suites my needs perfectly and so this is going to be the last amp I buy for a long time.

Small negative points:

- Handle does not fold so I cannot set my backup on the top (not really a big issue)

- Aformentioned lack of bundled footswitch (not a problem since I was planning to get a smaller footprint one from a third party anyway)
