Orange Micro Terror

Suitable only for metal

Impossible to change clean and dirt on the fly! aux in is a crap! headphone exit is total crap! Clean is average not impressive at all! Dirt is good enough and usable! Very pricy ....you gonna pay just for the name :-)

compact killer amp

I used this amp with guitars, syhtesizers and drum machines. It just adds such a crispy punch to sound that I can't believe I am achieving this cheap! Highly recommend anyone to try pairing it with different cabinets and use it with instuments other than electric guitars too. The tone know is straight forward but it is easy to navigate a good tone.

My only complaint is the flimsiest cable I have ever seen that came with this amp. you can break it with a simple drop so be very careful about that.

Amazing Micro Amp Head!!

Very small size, with very big features ,sound,quality....

Best for home use .Simple and dynamic....

Amazing practice amp

Great for getting the best out of your guitars at home.

My live playing days are over and I’ve moved on much of my gear, so to have an amp with this quality and at a volume that doesn’t drive everyone crazy is fantastic. I would highly recommend this over any practice amps out there, as some day I’ll have a more private practice space and I can add bigger speakers without changing the head :)

The only drawbacks are the limited controls on the amp head itself and it’s difficult to get nice bottom end at low volume but overall serious value for money and looks fantastic

Fun concept

I enjoy this little micro terror, but after owning it for a while I prefer the mini portable amps from boss and blackstar, its more of a novelty than a practical solution; I’d plump for the katana if given he choice.

Orange does it again...

I decided to add a Micro Terror to my Orange collection after owning a Micro Dark for a while; it absolutely hasn't let me down - the same great ease of use as the Micro Dark but with a little less gain and a brighter Sound overall. I love both but generally I find the Micro Terror to be the one that more readily gives me the Sound I want.

Really well-built, sounds great on all Settings, versatile, loud as hell, takes pedals really well, bonehead easy to use. I love it.

I also changed the tubes in both this one and my Micro Dark for some TAD ones and they made the sound instantly twice as good, warmer, smoother and more rounded, and with a little more gain overall.

Thoroughly recommend these great little amps!

Powerful little box

Like a lot of people have said, this is, indeed, a loud little amp, but few mention its actual sound quality.

Of course you can tear up at a gig with a 4x12, but that's not what made me like this amp. Loving the sound of artists like Gene Vincent, Roy Orbinson, and Elmore James, it was quite hard for me to find an amp that was affordable but still did that vintage sound, but the Micro Terror certainly delivered! A little bit of slapback delay, and I was partying like it was the 1950s! Then, I turned up the tone knob a bit, cranked up the gain, and I really felt the modern rock vibe that came out. Put the right reverb in front of it and you can soundscape to your heart's content.

Pros: Versatile within the Blues, rock, rockabilly, country and a bit of jazz; Looks good, sounds even better.

Cons: ...? No FX Loop? ...I Guess?

So if you're in the tightest of budgets, not looking for Fender cleans, Marshall gain, or anything actually legendary, but just something that sounds good, is dependable, and looks pretty cute, the Micro Terror really is ideal!

Really good

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.

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.

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.

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.

One of the most important recommendations I could make with regard to these amps is to consider using a larger cabinet than the matching PPC108 cab. I have been using a Jet City 24S+ 2x12 cabinet, and have found that while it takes away from the portability of the stack a bit, the gains in tone are well worth it.

I can't comment on the auxiliary jack which is included, but I'm sure it would serve a purpose if you needed it, and I suppose there's no harm in having the facility there.

In terms of cons, the tone control is fairly basic , and only allows a certain level of tone shaping, but it does have a good range. In general, I keep it set between 11am and 1pm and find that going outside of this leads to very dark and muddy or ear-piercingly bright.

To summarise, this is a really good amp for the price, and for me it has performed consistently for the past three years without missing a beat. I'm so fond of them, that I bought a second one.

Fantastic sound from such a "tiny" box !

Very easy to setup and use.

External power module not my cup of tea but easy to leave with.

Mixed sound experience

Not the best amp head, for its size it very loud, but in a live situation it does not hold up. Brilliant as a practice amp, with headphone jack, and could easily go on pedal board as pre-amp or drive pedal. Bit overall it is hit and miss.
