[@alecsneed5835]

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed. :)

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you. :)

[@pumpies1920]

love the way this guy demos. he seems so happy and excited about what he's doing and not a hint of arrogance or douchiness in his reviews. awesome guitar skills and riffs. Rock on Dave, just subscribed to your channel

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very very much indeed and thank you for subscribing. :)

[@TooLooze]

Dave, we all live in different spaces and different spaces, but we all share music. And I have the feeling that most of us subscribers see you as a friend.

[@thedavesimpson]

That means slot to me. Thank you. :)

[@ralphhaddon]

Dave Simpson I've come to this thread late but just been through a very painful knee replacement, dumped by text by my girlfriend when I was in a taxi on the way home from hospital. What's kept me going is all the fantastic stuff on KZbin for guitarists and I treated myself to a new Les Paul studio. When life lets me down my guitar never does. Love the videos mate

[@HPPrintervx4p5q]

TooLooze totally wrong... Dave is our messiah

[@markfahey3921]

We do indeed

[@Georg89]

Your playing is awesome and your demos are always amazing to watch! I can see that you really like what you are doing!!!

[@montys8th]

Wow Dave the different amount of tones from that tiny box, yet they all sound awesome. Thanks for the demo and man I love your playing, you so feel the music mate.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed. :)

[@dylanlbdb]

Being 2 years late to this hurts me. I wish I could of shown my support to such an amazing guy when he needed help. We love you Dave you're a great guy!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much. : )

[@dylanlbdb]

@@thedavesimpson its no problem! Sorry to ask a question again. But how does this sound out of 10 to you? And is it loud enough for a rehearsal with a full band through a 2x12 (v30s)

[@elimontoya2173]

I, for one, love your videos. You are a genuine, sweet, talented, down to earth, funny chap and that makes your videos/instruction very approachable. Thank you for taking the time to review these products and for helping us to make informed decisions! Cheers!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you so very much indeed. That means alot to me. :)

[@CarlosRodriguez-vi5tf]

Hello Dave. I’m a new subscriber to your channel and all I can say is that you are my favorite KZbinr. You are so honest and so human. And you are such an amazing guitarist. I really value your opinion and your joy when reviewing is so contagious! Thank you for your awesome reviews. Cheers to you mate!!!

[@hirvillas]

The guy who can sound great with any amp and settings, you are a great guitar player!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much. :)

[@Matthew-b2i]

I think this is the best demo/review of the amp. There's nothing like hearing something in person, but I could hear nuances that you also confirmed, that I couldn't hear in other videos. Thanks!

[@Stereostupid]

It's old but I love it Dave!! I really want one of these! You always sound great!

[@Guitardemonsj]

Sounds beautyful, that clean tone with this strat is just amazing.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed. :)

[@kirkmulder1599]

Love your videos and love you as a person and guitar player. You helped me discover vintage brand guitars too.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much. : )

[@davidevans3175]

Love your videos, I'm a subscriber. You have such excellent taste in amps, music and guitars. Cheers from Los Angeles.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much and thanks you so much for subscribing to my channel. Greetings from the UK. :)

[@captncrunch1726]

glad to see you in a good mood again! awesome little amp, i never realized it is that small. looks definitely great enthroned on top of all those cabs ;) rock on dave!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much and it does look rather cool up there. :)

[@9imack]

I've got the Tiny Terror, 15 or 7w all-valve & I play mine through twin Celestion Greenback cabs. Absolutely awesome little beast. Orange Amps rule, not perhaps the most versatile amps but they just do what they do so well. Great vid as usual man :)

[@Interweb76]

Love your videos Dave! They absolutely make my day. I'm an enormous Frusciante fan! Your videos must keep coming :) Take care

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much and they shall. :)

[@february690]

I love everything your doing Dave! Keep up the awesome work!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very so much. I shall do. :)

[@PDWNsoundbwoy]

Thankyou mate, watching the first minute of your video made my day better, keep going

[@liligman]

Fantastic overview and absolutely sick licks as usual

[@Sigtrygg_Gale.]

Great job, absolute pleasure to watch you demo and play.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very very much indeed. :)

[@neilmurphy1927]

[@cheshirecat438]

[@alfredoricioppo3542]

Nice one Dave. As an anxiety and depression , panic attack sufferer - i know damn well what its like, but when i feel like that I put your videos on and i do feel better..You make me wanna play my guitar more..Keep em coming and remember..your not alone.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much and i'm happy the video helped you. That means a lot to me. :)

[@SpiffinglyAwesome]

Dave just recently discovered your videos and I think your great! Absolutely top notch guitar playing keep up the good work buddy 👍

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed. :)

[@LuisLopez-sf1zt]

Great video. You're a cool dude and great guitarist !!!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed. :)

[@thatpeterboy]

Great to see you back Dave! Keep weathering the storms mate we always come out the other side smiling :)

[@thedavesimpson]

Great to be back and shall do. Thank you. :)

[@wickscape1]

your a legend mate , as somebody who suffers from anxiety myself your vids make me smile ..i know how hard it is to cope day to day sometimes ...you are an inspiration to us who love what you and to have the courage to perform live and share your incredible playing with us :)

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you so very much. That means a lot to me. Thanks so much again. :)

[@ficker22]

Love your Frusciante style!! Also got this micro terror, I'm just blown away for how good it is for the price!!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much and they are great indoodle. :)

[@mrr3000gt]

Best video yet that shows the amp can produce usable rocking tones.

[@dannylucas596]

good review again Dave, clean sounds at the beginning was very red hot chilli peppers

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much. :)

[@hrstrat57]

I just got one of these based on your demo Dave, running thru a vintage Jenson SD 12 sounds great. I went thru my whole collection of old 12at7/12ax7 and found perfection in an old sylvania 12at7. Quiets the buzz huge and fizz goes to crunch. Cool little rig! Thanx!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you and happy to hear you like yours. :)

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

man, you're an excellent player. I have used modeling gear almost exclusively for close to 10 years now because of the versatility, but you have really shown how just a straight guitar>amp set-up can really get a multitude of tones. Keep up the good work!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very very much and i shall do. :)

[@70bluesville]

I'm going to order one of these now, because of this video. Always great to see you brother!!!

[@ZakRahman]

You have a certain way of expressing yourself, both with your singing and your words. I've *never* liked Orange amp or their tones. Not until I saw this video today. Now I am a broader human bean. You keep trucking, mate. And thank you for the vids.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed. :)

[@mkilner]

Awesome as always!...so glad you are well again, and what a great little amp, i remember the gary moore demo for guitarist back in 2009?...i think he played that same one and what tones he got!...think the newer one is the dark terror!...hope you can get hold of one soon!..cheers! 👍🏻🎸

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much. :)

[@buckbuck22]

great job! Love the clean finger picking thing! Thanks for posting:)

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you for watching. :)

[@gielb2001]

That sounds amazing, great playing Dave!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much. :)

[@Eywadude]

Hey Dave, I kept forgetting to leave a message for you in your last video about panic attacks. As I am sure many have expressed already, you are not alone. I, too, was once afflicted with a *SEVERE* case of anxiety at one time in my life. Mine was particularly extreme. For the first 8 months I had it, I couldn't even leave the house. Wasn't even able to go outside my front door. No word of a lie: I struggled literally *every single waking moment of my life* with it for nearly 7 years straight. My anxiety was also riddled with *awful* daily, non-stop physical symptoms that made things even worse. I also battled severe depression and suicidal thoughts throughout that time too. Without a doubt, it was the absolute worst time of my life. Just know that it can be conquered and that you are never alone. That is the worst part of having anxiety: it is like a silent affliction. So many have it, yet no one ever talks about it due our to society's stigmas about it. Unfortunately, many people are never seen or heard in their struggle. I applaud you for what you did in that video. It takes a lot of strength and courage to be able to open yourself up like that to the world in fear of scrutiny. But you'll never find any from me. I know and understand what you are going through, for I have lived it. Ohhhhh, how I have lived it! I see you, brother. Just know you have yet another friend on your side. Cheers from across the pond. ;)

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you so so much and thanks so much for sharing your experiences with anxiety and depression. Its always nice to know that it can be beaten. Thank you so very much again. :)

[@rudygarrow5952]

Hi Dave, got the Micro Dark terror 20watt recently, one with the effects loop. Really nice sound clean and over driven with a reverb pedal in the loop. Appreciate your MH journey and your choice not to be defined by it.

[@0707pst]

As always an amazing demonstration from you Dave - good fun too // Peter from DK

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you so very very much. :)

[@rareform6747]

WE LOVE IT ! Suffer from anxiety for 31 years and just lost my beloved Father . Keep up the good playing . Mike from Lago Vista Texas .

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you and i am so sorry for your loss.

[@RobertBishop7777]

Enjoy your videos. Great playing.

[@stephandunning4023]

Glad to see you back and well , great review ,

[@thedavesimpson]

Great to be back. Thank you very much. :)

[@ronandowney744]

Love your playing nothing to be be anxious about mate we all have our demons 🎸🎸👍🏻🇮🇪

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much. :)

[@pnelson3248]

Great stuff..again! I have this amp and just about to get a few pedals (reverb + looper) so looking forward to any videos on this you do in the future. * Anyone going to use headphones make sure you use good quality headphones/ connector with this amp otherwise sounds really crappy otherwise. Almost took mine back as sounded so bad until I tried gold connector adaptor for my headphones.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much and thanks for watching. :)

[@markf6242]

I don't want to sound wierd but good damn Dave you have made such an impact on my life. I have my heroes....Ronson, Hendrix, Kossoff, Gallagher....and when I'm sad I turn to your videos and they brighten up my day...I never got to know those guys man....but after watching so many of your videos I feel like I know you so well....your the man and thank you for your talents and humility you could spare with the best of them and probably win each time...

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very very much indeed. So happy you like what i do. : )

[@cliveclive54]

Straight up mate,that's the best demo of that little monster I've seen to date.Glad you're feeling better,rock on Dave!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very very much indeed. :)

[@Aku-kh5qy]

Thx my man great honest review. Keep up the great work. :)

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed. :)

[@muddyfunker3014]

You're just great in every respect. I'd love to buy you a beer mate 👍🏻

[@siphillipson1099]

Great stuff Dave, love your playing mate( I think you love mr frusciante as much as me!). Keep up the good work.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much and shall do. :)

[@russelltyler9363]

Amazing video dude! I've literally just bought one of these so I can'y wait to get it plugged into my 4x12 (Vox412BN!)

[@rolandoramon5623]

the tones all in the sick cab man

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed. :)

[@christineayres5339]

Ive got Anxiety problems mainly because i live in a bad town so am literally just stuck indoors playing my guitar all day , anyway your a good persona and if everyone was like you then Anxiety wouldnt exist because people like me would not be afraid to walk out the door everyday anyway rock on bro

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much. :)

[@matzer8846]

Nice to see you recovering ... Great lil' amp and great vid as always ...

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed. :)

[@Chris66JTM45]

Know exactly what you mean about that Selmer tone Dave. My first head was a Treble & Bass 50 and I could never get it to clip. That Micro Terror really loves Humbuckers. As with all the other well wishers, I too am glad to see you're looking & feeling better mate.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed. :)

[@aldovergara9035]

I'm happy to see you in great spirits and playing your ass off as always.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much. :)

[@sprcrzyguitrman8]

Oh damn was just tryna see how the amp sounds in your beautiful hands then you pull out the same guitar as mine! Sent my epi les paul 59 back got the vintage and it might be the best les paul I’ve played....😁

[@johnathanjordan6468]

glad you're better mate great little amp,like the look of that start as well

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much. :)

[@alexandergeienberger1417]

That 1st riff is just wonderfull ❤️

[@underpressureman]

I love my mxr 10 band eq for really dialing in my micro dark and micro terror! you should try the micro dark its amazing with a tubescreamer or od pushing it!

[@jimmorrison123]

glad to hear you are fine :D and i like the deep voice haha

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much. :)

[@scienceandspacetube9723]

very helpfull! great review!

[@humbuck59]

well played mate most enjoyable

[@richardpyper3840]

Nice amp for the price Dave. I saw a guy playing one live at the weekend with a tiny speaker and it was very loud. Thanks

[@thedavesimpson]

They are awesome. Thanks for watching. :)

[@thatpeterboy]

and the micro terror sounds awesome..a lot of tones for a tiny lil amp :)

[@thedavesimpson]

Indoodle. Its a versatile little beast. :)

[@ivansitogonzalo3341]

Love that “My Michelle” !!!

[@whateverittakes4345]

Well Dave, considering that you usually get literally zero negative feedback on your videos tells a lot. A LOT. People like you and what you do. Always fun watching you, my man.

[@thedavesimpson]

I know what you mean. The lack of negativity is very nice but i am waiting for the trolls to arrive someday. Haha. Thank you so much for watching. :)

[@whateverittakes4345]

Don't wait for something that most likely will never happen. Even trolls have their favourites! #youluckyrascalyou

[@chrishenderson9130]

great playing. excellent demo

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you. :)

[@billypeiffer1165]

What a great guy!! And a great player! Thanks for the review!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much. :)

[@Bassguitar1231]

the micro terror and dark terror both rock, capable of using with 4 12 half stacks and i use them for live club performances unmicked!, great review thanks from nyc!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you for watching. :)

[@theresejardinier3913]

I have one of these. Very loud. due to budget restraints, I am playing it through a Hartke 2x10 bass cab. I don't know if this is such a good idea, but it sounds good. Anyway, I must say that this is one of the best guitar channels around.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very very much indeed. That mean a lot to me. :)

[@johnnymcquinn6025]

thanks for the review, you really are an amazing player!

[@ferox965]

I became an Orange guy big time..I'm a bassist who gigs pretty hard and I picked up the Orange bass terror a few years ago...the tone, build and just plain overall quality really won me over (I use it for everything...all genres). I grabbed the Micro terror for home recording and so on...it's great...took me a while to get used to it but all the sweet tones are there...I had to really lean on my volume tone knobs (2001 Gibson Les Paul Standard, previously owned by good friend Victor Griffin of Pentagram) for sure...I used to be a guy who did it all with pedals, but this amp really teaches (and forces) you to get the most out of your native sounds and tone/vol knobs. I love this little monster! I barely use any pedals now for either...nice chops...and I suffer from PTSD and anxiety issues too...it's a constant fight but it's winnable...wishing you all the best from Canada. Cheers.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you and i wish you all the best to. :)

[@ryanchadwick4432]

Loving the g man playing dude!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you. :)

[@sandorkis8813]

Dude, I like your videos. You are a great guitarist, and you've got good ears. My only complaint would be the close micless videos, but just would be... As I seeing and listening the videos, just got that. That would be unfair to the other amps to compare them that way. The sound is not the best now but to compare the different amps it's completely ok this way. I'll buy this amp to a second studio stuff. Cheers!

[@mattsworld7943]

Another great review 🙂 I watched your original review and bought a Micro Terror based on the cool stuff you got from it 😎 missed the other video, hope you're doing okay now.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much and i am doing so much better. Thank you again. :)

[@thenicejari]

Cheeky bit of civil war ;) gotta love it when you find someone on youtube with your music taste

[@thedavesimpson]

:)

[@blasphemer1992]

Just got my tiny terror today, can't wait to get home from work

[@flatsix666]

Great review Dave. To my ears I prefer the sound of your LP through this tiny beast of an amp. If your bored any time have a look at some of my phone footage on my channel. think you'll love the DT's.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed and i shall take a look. :)

[@ampturcoguitarwerks]

Man you always get such killer tones. Ive been using a vox ac15 which I love but I'm really thinking about that cr120 it's loud enough for unmiced jamming with a heavy drummer? I have that same Marshall cab actually got one with English greenbacks I love that cab sounds so good with no matter what is thrown at it.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed and the CR is indeed loud enough. I gig with it and never mic it up. No need to. Turn it to 6 and away i go. :)

[@joshuakozee5719]

Man dave you have really upped your production quality

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you. : )

[@lars4738]

You seem like a really straight up guy. And you're the best player on youtube tied with Greg Koch!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you so very much and to be in the same sentence as Mr Greg thats an honour. :)

[@5meo]

your playing as always is awesome, as are the sounds you're pulling out of that thing :) what are your thoughts on cr35rt vs micro terror, for "bedroom volumes" and/or headphone usage, while also retaining the ability to play at band practice etc? i would just get a cr60, except it lacks the headphone output which may be useful sometimes.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed. I would go for the 35rt. ITs a great amp and can go loud. The cr60 would be better though but like you say it has not headphones socket. :)

[@BRIDKIE]

So nice to see you happy again!

[@thedavesimpson]

Its nice to be happy again. Thank you. :)

[@gwugluud]

I envy your owning that earlier version of the MG solid state amp head. I have a recent one, but I've been reading that it lacks the classic rock mojo somewhat in comparison. It is sort of bland, but not bad. But I'm aware yours is better. I also really like your 4x12 with Greenbacks!

[@DucksDeLucks]

I have panic attacks too but some of the meds pretty much get rid of them. … I like that amp but only with the tone in the middle.

[@alamosabill201]

Great to have you back Dave, so to say, nice little amp looks weird on top of a 4x12 though but. Cheers and don't leave the next vid too long. 👌

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much and i wont. :)

[@leavemealoneyouprick]

i know what you mean about the Selmer sound haha, good analogy!

[@thedavesimpson]

:) Thank you for watching. :)

[@Venge94]

Stay positive man :)

[@thedavesimpson]

Shall do. :)

[@BadMotivator66]

i recently got an eq pedal, and with a mid hump in front of it, this amp sounds GREAT :)

[@thedavesimpson]

Awesome. :)

[@75YBA]

Just got mine today Jan 2022! Astounded.

[@bobbillnolan7644]

Dave dog: This, or a used tiny terror combo ( I already have a 12” cab for micro terror) cheers, from Coventry UK 🇬🇧

[@thedavesimpson]

You can't really go wrong with either to be honest. :)

[@bobbillnolan7644]

Dave Simpson : thanks for the response 👌

[@renhoek3851]

brilliant playing mate, came across your vids by accident but you can consider me a subscriber now

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much and thanks so so much for subscribing. :)

[@hvh6912]

Hey Dave,do you prefer more sound of micro terror or crush 60?

[@colonythirteenstars2050]

Great review and demo. I wish I lived in England -I would ask you to be the lead guitarist in my band!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much and i would take you up on that offer if you lived over here. :)

[@colonythirteenstars2050]

Cheers, Dave!

[@neilmurphy1927]

Hi Dave I'm looking for a strat on a budget, could you recommend one of the vintage models you use no board preference cheers

[@thedavesimpson]

I highly recommend the Vintage V6 Icon in Boulevard black. Thats what i use and i love them. Awesome awesome guitars. :)

[@rayrobinson4347]

Great review

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much. : )

[@skithewhitestuff]

I currently have a 100w amp but may be moving to an appartment sometime next year so may need something that I can play, a little less noisily, would this be a good choice played through maybe a single 12 inch cab. Any ideas?

[@thedavesimpson]

It kind of depends what your after. If you run pedals through it then i would go for it but if your just going straight in I'd go for a combo amp with 2 channels. Orange 35rt would be one I'd recommend. :)

[@Tonytonytone582]

Loving the videos, man

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much. :)
