I wonder how it would be to have an orange fighting a piranha in real life

[@lild4131998]

The orange stomps the piranha easily.

[@Artec619]

dsfadsfgafgf Or it could just juice all over the piranhas eyes

[@elijahholmgren9475]

[@stephen9944]

the oranges acidity would kill the piranha in minutes...it would be like seppuko

[@Ndlanding]

Orange has more zest. Peavey has more pee.

[@JayPowellmusician]

I own one of these Dark Terrors and it really is my favorite gigging amp. I have a 112 cab and a 412. Lifelong Peavey user here. I'll always have 2 of the DT amps. One as a backup. It has great tone, weighs NOTHING, and I remember getting giggles from other bands when I first played a show with this. Put it through a 412. When I started playing, the laughs turned into surprised open mouths. You seriously don't NEED anything else.

[@Mitchnagel58]

That Peavey just ain't right.

[@RJT80]

They had the EQ as thin as it could go on the big cab while comparing it to a thick Orange amp. So yeah, it sounded awful compared to the Orange.

[@pabslondon]

It isn't as hot as propane or propane accessories

[@1961jscofield]

I liked the Orange, Usually Peavey makes some fine products, but that Piranha is one dead fish.

[@jovanj2717]

JH Scofield Haha! You don't come by great puns easy lol

[@jeroenverbeeck7925]

I know right! That Piranha just didn't have much bite. The Orange sounded way more juicy, and has an all round shape of tone.

[@Mezurashii5]

The Peavey is too bland, Orange has more color to it.

[@cullenjames7542]

The Orange Micro Dark goes for right at $190 here and the Piranha is $180. I think the Orange blows the Piranha away. I own one and regularly use it through a 2x12. I have no disappointments with the Orange, but I think I'd be pissed if I'd bought the Piranha. It just sounds so thin. Off topic, I'd like to make a suggestion - a blind super Strat challenge. Do like you've done in the past comparing Les Pauls and SGs, but compare a bunch of super Strats from various manufacturers at similar price points. Say a Charvel Pro Mod, an ESP, an Ibanez Iron Series, a Jackson Soloist, a Schecter C-1, etc. Say they're all within $100 +/- of each other and then do a blind shootout where you rate them on sound, playability and which you prefer overall.

[@GiordanDrago]

The Micro Dark sounds phenomenal! the Piranha sounds like an overprocessed "insane" setting. Orange for the win!

Future fight: Orange Micro Dark with 1x8 cab, vs. Crush 20rt 1x8 combo amp. In America, the Micro w/cab comes out around $300, the Crush is ~$200. Wonder if the extra 100 is worth it, or pro/con of features.

[@holdover8199]

I have the crush 20 and crush 20 LDX which have different signal paths before the fx... they both are damn good sounding amps. I've modified both to have an external speaker output that switches out the internal speaker, and through a 4x12 they both sound fantastic.

[@jleighwolfe]

I have the micro dark and the crush 35rt. Imo, tube wins. Just sounds better. The 35rt isn't bad by any means, but the micro dark just rips. It's great.

[@Preets998]

Could I plug a micro amp into a combo amp?

[@derrek7503]

preetsidoodle It's not plug and play, you'd have to do a bit of modification to the combo. It's fairly easy and uncomplicated though.

[@FunkyMunky1137]

Through the speaker yes but don't plug it into the guitar input on the front of the amp. The preamp section of your combo wont be sufficient load for your head and the output from the head may damage the components in your combo.

[@MrStevelovesguitars]

Hi sorry but the Captain is the boss and a blues guy, so Chapman can get heavy, and is a better player, I too get frustrated by Lee because he tends to be overbearing towards Rob and makes adjustments and often talks over him in the videos and really again doesn't know how to set up a good heavy sound. If they could make videos without him it would improve the harder sounds and the features would be truer to what they should be. Just my opinion, no hate towards Lee. After all without Lee, no videos or gear to demo.

[@ballsofdoom3124]

I really wanted to love the Piranha...

[@MrDoubleBrutalT800]

I had one and had to send it back. The hiss sound was just annoying and the tone isn't as good as expected.

[@hammyjammies]

The difference is night and day for me. The Orange is like giving a rock guitarist a tube screamer mini (well priced but still really good) whereas the Peavey is more like a rock guitarist with a Miku

Yeah together that was surprising and fun. I wonder how much those small 8 inch cabs and heads together cost. I know both cabs are 300 pounds. In USA orange is fairly affordable and quality.

[@artheen4713]

I think the Peavey mini cab has one of the captain's socks in it. And it can't really drive much bigger cabs, it seems.

[@RN-jq1oh]

What do you mean out of phase? Do you mean it sounds thin or what because scientifically if you were to hear one note you can't hear whether the sound is in phase and out of phase. The sine waves are spinning at at least 400 times per second you can't hear if it is in phase or out of phase and besides of it is just the amp running by itself so there is no phase cancellation so I think you just mean it sounded thin

[@RabeaMassaad]

no I mean it sounded out of phase. I use 2 mics when micing Amps, and if they sound thin, or lack of bass, that normally means out of phase, in other words, the waves hit each capsule at different times, causing lack of bass and hollow tone. maybe Lee knocked the mic accidentally.

[@lincolnsixecho51]

*Here is, what i can say about work with the orange "micro dark" and by using a distortion/overdrive pedal:* I use the micro dark with a t-rex "mudhoney 2" making it a "3-channel-amp" and "fine-tuned" the over-all sound with a boss eq-7 ( which aside form "eq-ing" also gives me the opportunity to boost all three sounds...) and - what sounds really fantastic! - a t-rex "playback" delay, which has the interesting specific trait to make your sound much "warmer" and much more "full" when you slightly reduce the "delay"-knob ( .... which regulates the intensity of the echo signal) a little bit below 12 o'clock ( the volume of the echo-signal gets a bit lower, but the main signal - as being said - gets more warmth and richness). All that thru a orange 4x12"" cabinet with celestion "vintage 30ties"!! I honestly can say, that i took a few days to test out the different sound components work best together, but i finally got a UNBELIEVABLE versatile sound from ultra-clean over to full, rich and "bluesey" crunch, a warm, melodic "gary moore"-like lead-overdrive up to crushing, biting metal distortion - *all that for the price of a single, big "big brand" amp head!!* I use all for home recording, band rehearsal room and small gigs - and it works fantastic!! Test it by yourself!! You'll be surprised!! ROCK ON!! Lincoln Six Echo

[@TomPark1986]

Didn't like either. The Orange sounded muffled, the Peavey sounded thin.

[@danielbertola7868]

I replaced the 12AX7 inside the MD after reading about a much clearer sound throughout the gain spectrum, and what an outstanding result! This is a great little amp and it does sound awesome out of the box, however after replacing the stock tube with a new Mullard tube, the amp really came alive. I ran it pushing a 4x12 cab for some friends and other guitarist and everyone was 😍. One of them even bought one. FYI for eventual buyers, experiment with different tubes. Cheers

With their own cabs, I honestly didn't think either one was better or worse. Definitely different sounds, but both quite good. The piranha hit the drop d chuggas better. Once you had the 2x12, orange was the clear winner.... Though the half a sec where the eq was up on the piranha did sound very nice. Both together was definitely awesome.

[@The10000lbGorilla]

First ever side by side gear test that I can say that one is objectively better than the other, Orange FTW. The Peavey (and I am a Peavey fan) sounds like my 5 watt harmony practice amp I got when I was 11. Edit: Ok, both on at the same time is RAD. And... Peavey through the 2x12 sounds like sweaty ass.

[@Rocksite1]

I keep hearing the Piranha sound good with that notch knob at about twelve o'clock (five?); but he keeps backing it off a ton, and it sounds really thin. The reason it doesn't have much low end that way, is because the notch cuts out the highs and lows.

[@SvenTviking]

They all do that! Every youtuber reviewing amplifiers, turns the tone knob to the perfect sound, then ruins it.

[@SnowMonkeySoFunky]

The Peavey sounds like I'm hearing it in an empty metal shipping container. So shrill and metallic.

[@carwynvan]

The piranha just sounds unbelievably compressed, yet the orange sounds like it can really stretch its legs, open up, and belt it out!

[@iwannacuddleurbutt]

the Peavey somehow sounds scooped and nasal at the same time.

[@KaoswareMetal]

The Orange sounds much fuller and richer, but won't be enough for an "ultra metal" sound And they managed to get a quite decent Metal sound with the Piranha in the end.

I think that the Peavey configuration is trying to produce a heavy drive metally sound, but it doesn't work well without something like a bigger cab. In the configurations set up in this video, the Orange sounds slightly louder and less muffled.

[@KompletterGeist]

the reason why the piranha sounds so shitty is cuz Lee scooped it WAY too much. at 7:08 it sounded like crap..then he turned the knob to the right and at 7:13 it sounded much better...but then he turned it back the other way. Please let Rabea or Rob dial in the metal tones. Lee doesn't know what he is doing

[@jackboulter4866]

The Peavey in America is $179.99 and the Orange is $189.00. Got the prices from Guitar Center. I think that the Orange sounds great for hard rock tones but the Peavey for more Metal tones. When they are put together they sound amazing. If some company did a mix between the two i think they would make a lot of money off of it.

[@liamgideon9423]

the peavey sounds really tinny, the orange has a much fuller tone to me, I need that low end

[@MTRDave]

I have a Micro Dark but only had it at low volumes through its 118 cab (due to living in a flat with neighbours above and below) but will be taking it into the studio next week to put it through its paces in a 1960a Marshall 4x12 and I can't wait. I have a few gain pedals to stick in front and a few reverb/delay pedals to put through the effects loop.

My mates recently built a rig with an Orange Dark Terror And Peavey 6505 mini with a Bugera 4x12, customised with 2 seperate inputs, Orange is plugged into 2 of the Speakers which are Creambacks and the Peavey is plugged into the other 2 which are vintage 30’s absolutely crushing tone

[@mercuryfaith]

The problem are the cabs. Both amps are decent especially fot the price (I prefer micro dark btw) but with those little cabs...with 2x12 v30 (harley benton with a little mod by me) the micro dark sound really close to the dark terror (amp that I use for many years).

[@donaldwolpert6356]

Here, in the US, the "street price" for the Orange Micro Dark in the US is $190 USD. The matching speaker is $99 USD. The Peavey Piranha sells for $180 USD, and its matching speaker is $100 USD, but, in some places, they can be bought as a package for just over $250 USD. Reviews from purchasers here seem to favor the Orange, while it is expressed that the 6505 Piranha falls short in tone compared to its big 6505 brothers.

[@charlesfrantamusic4659]

Definitely, the orange sounded much better.

[@300WINMAG360]

My main amp is a Peavey 6505+ 1x12 combo with an Orange PPC 2x12 extension cab. I picked up a brand new Orange Micro Dark for $150 just to match my cab and it is surprisingly awesome. It's not the best sounding amp ever, but for a $150 practice amp, I couldn't ask for more.

[@MrThx3876]

The Orange sounds like a pretty decent amp. The Peavey sounds like someone stuck a shitty speak up to a Boss Metal Zone.

[@DomSchu]

Both sound terrible through those cabs. I don't even know why they make real amp cabinets with speakers smaller than 10 inch. It works for modeling amps like a Yamaha THR, but any real amp through a tiny speaker sounds like a tin can.

[@nicwilson89]

The Yamaha has some trickery in it to make it sound....pretty huge, if you've got it infront of you. I've got the THR10X. Considering that Yamaha own Line 6, I often wonder why they don't pass down at least a little sound tech. The THR amps sound ridiculously good...if they stuck some of that tech into a Line 6 Spider, it'd at least be a viable choice, give the competition a good kicking and probably sell a shittonne more. Maybe it's 'cause there's a THR head, too?

[@DomSchu]

Nic Wilson I think where Yamaha got it right is treating the THR amp like a mini PA or boom box. It models the speakers, cab, amp, and effects, and then you determine what volume you want to come out of the neutral mini stereo PA speakers. Guitar amp speakers are very different and have a distinct voicing. Which is desireable in a big 4x12 cab to make the tone more focused to cut in a band mix, but when you apply those same speaker qualities to a little < 8 inch speaker it doesn't really work anymore. It just sounds tiny and muddy.

[@nicwilson89]

I thought the smaller modelling amps did that too these days? They have full range drivers and use cab sim, pedals, and what not, too. The Yamaha just uses two small speakers and some clever physical design to project the sound. The rest is in their hardware and software.

[@DomSchu]

Nic Wilson Well yeah, whatever yamaha is doing with their speakers Line 6 needs to follow suit.

[@nicwilson89]

Not just the speakers, but the processing itself. Yamaha own Line 6, so what I was wondering was why don't they at least give Line 6 a little hand? The THR sounds awesome, I understand they wouldn't want to give all that tech to Line 6 and have an incredible sounding Spider model, but they could at least give them a little hand...aahhh, I don't know

[@adamdam]

The Micro dark killed it, I own one myself and actually its a fantastic little amp, not too great with pedals but for jamming volume and cost alone...it's f'ing amazing.

[@p165711]

Easily the Orange is superior.

[@jeremymiller6933]

Each has its strengths and weaknesses. The Peavey had the saturation that I love, but no bottom end. The Orange had more oomph, but not a lot range/depth in the sound; it was just loud. If I were going for a 70's rock sound, the Orange would be the one. In my opinion, I am not sure I would buy either of them. Maybe try them with a few pedals? The one reverb pedal added quite a bit to both. Why not try a few more?

I have no idea what they did to make it sound so horrible in this video, but when I tried the Piranha in person it really sounded and felt great! Not the best sound in the world, but it was quite reminiscent of a 6505 which is the whole point of it. I love the Micro Dark as well, but I don't think the Piranha deserves the hate its getting. I encourage you all to try one in person.

[@nicethugbert]

You guys purposely scooped all the mids out of the piranha which makes it sound puny.

[@mickrhinojohnstone3434]

If I had to compare sound, I’d say it’s like Jim Root is the Orange and Mick Thomson is Peavy. Two very different sounds but together they work really well together. Here in Australia you can pick up the piranha and cab for $300 Aus and the Micro dark and cab for $500 plus.

In Canada the Orange Micro Dark will run you $290 while the Peavy Piranha costs $200. The paired Orange cabinet is another $150 but I can't find the Peavy cab for comparison. For those suggesting the Boss Katana 50W combo alternative, it's $290 too. Orange comes out on top here hands down. That Piranha sounds worse than the 10W Kustom practise amp I bought when I was first learning to play guitar (and it was like $50).

Didn't care for either of them. Together? hoooooly mackerel. That's a hell of a sound.

In the US, the Micro Dark costs $189.99 and the piranha is $179.99. So only $10 more for the orange. Both cabs cost $99.99

[@ketoneconde2458]

The Micro Dark head:$190 Orange cab: $100 The whole rig: $290 Peavey head: $180 Peavey cab: $100 Whole rig: $280 Between the two I'd spend the extra ten dollars and get the Orange, Every day.

Being the owner of an Orange Tiny Terror (played through a Peavey 2x12).. I prefer the Orange over the Peavey. The 8" speakers remind me of listening to my old AM transistor radio. Since there is a 4 ohm limitation on the Peavey, I would have to choose the Orange.

well, I know what I'm buying orange micro dark and a 2x12 with greenbacks

[@boofert.washington2499]

Did you get it?

[@Aleph_Null_Audio]

Treble booster into the Orange would probably sound better than the Piranha, but get into similar territory. Plus you could turn the booster off or on for rhythm and lead sounds respectively.

The Orange sounded like shit when rob cranked it through that 8 inch speaker.

[@homewoodstudio1978]

We love our orange here in American too! I can't believe how thin that 6505 sounds, maybe try running a Micro Terror with the Micro Dark Terror would sound cool.

[@thomasmozelt585]

this two amps together are killahhhhh!

[@joshua_halleran82]

In Canada the Orange Micro Dark 20W Hybrid Amp Head cost $289.99 and the Peavey 6505 Piranha Electric Guitar Amplifier Head cost $199.99

[@TheZeppelinFloyd]

well the 'Orange' blows the 'Piranha' outta the *ahem* water. ☺ because u know ...fish....yea

[@paniccleo]

Orange stuff always tends to have more low mids and stuff, which I reckon for amp that loud probably means a lot. Amusing too that the Peavy cab is so thin despite it being so much deeper than the Orange cab.

The best product in this video is that sweet PRS

[@bmposton98]

The sound of both together was freaking huge!
