I once played in a band using Orange 15w amps (!) for an audience of 1500+ and we ended up being the band with the best sound of the festival. They managed to mic those little amps perfectly and they were coming in perfectly in the monitors while sounding great in the PA.

An EQ in the FX loop really opens up these amps. I had one pushing a 4x12 with the notorious Behringer SF300 and it was brutally dooom-tastic sludgy mayhem, although every time I turned and looked at it I kept busting out laughing in blow away amazement! LMAO!!! Sure, some of the similarly spec'd Joyo offerings offer more variety and bells & whistles at a better price, but these tiny Orange heads pack a lot of that upper mids mojo their bigger siblings are famously coveted for IMO.🤘

I have the Terror StAmp with the tube screamer going to one 12" orange cab, and the other Terror StAmp with the Boss going to another 12" orange cab. For what my band writes it does a really nice job. These little amps are really fun to play around with.

I think for me it is the non-versatile amps that shine the most. I just don't feel like I need a bunch of knobs and effects. I have been enjoying straight forward amplifiers, and two knob Precision Basses for a very long time, even though knowing how to use certain effects and more versatile amps can be very useful when talking with other musicians. I love the sludgy tone on this one too. I even recently had the chance to try and ORANGE amp, and it was a blast. The tone sounds like what Tony Iommi used on Master of Reality or the entire band on Sleep's Holy Mountain.

I resonate with this comment. I'm a set it and forget it type of guy. I have this set to a bit over edge of breakup, and if I want clean tones, I roll back my volume pot. If I want a metal tone, I kick in my tubescreamer and a clean boost for leads. The less of the amp I have to touch, the better.

I see every stoner rock/doom/sludge band using an Orange amp, almost exclusively. The fuzz on the top doesn't work well with fast riffs, but for the stoner sounds it's perfect. You can't go wrong with that amp for the price though if you need something simple and your style is more of the stoner variety of rock. I've taken the DI tracks in a mix and put an amp sim on it and blend it in with the original guitars, and I'm a huge fan of blending guitars that way. Sounds thick and you can really create a unique tone that's full and cuts super well in a mix! And Glenn, your guitar playing is moving along nicely! Makes me want to practice my bass more!

On the subject of Orange, what's your take on their Stamp? It has an emulated speaker out so that you can theoretically run it straight from the pedalboard into a PA. I don't think the speaker emulation is that great, but what are the chances that the audience would notice or care?
@zackakai5173
@zackakai5173 2 жыл бұрын
Personally I tried the Stamp. Speaker out sounded fine through my cab, but I primarily bought it as a headphone amp, and the built-in emulation definitely left something to be desired. Ended up returning it. If you want to go straight into a PA I'd say just get a proper IR loader and use a separate preamp pedal (gonna plug the SNK VHD here, if you want a high gain pedal that doesn't sound sterile I really can't recommend it enough 👀 )

Glenn! Your playing has improved so much, and I loved the video you put out on some of the stuff that's helped you improve recently. I have been playing for 20 years or so and the 'spider walk' exercise you did was something I also found recently that helped me a lot. Keep up the great work! One thing I'd mention for you to focus on a little: not lifting your fingers so much when riffing. All of us struggle with this - not trying to sound like a dick. I think that will be one small thing you can focus on that may also yield big results over time (it did for me anyway). Again, awesome seeing the growth - can't wait to see how things are sounding a year from now and on.

The Micro Dark is really cool. I think people get it over the Terror, only because it has an effects loop. The gain on the proper Dark Terror is glorious, and really moves more air. You obviously dialed it in really nicely, with just an OD, really... that says it all. The extra $400 odd bucks becomes less necessary. I can totally hear that 📦 SS tone, especially now you pointed it out lol

A few years ago I had a Micro Terror and the Micro Dark at the same time. I bought both used just to fool around with. I traded the Dark for a pedal but still have the Terror. The Dark was a bit too gainy for me (OK, way too gainy) but it was fun nonetheless. The Micro series amps are also good for silent practice with headphones, and you can also use the Dark as a preamp into another amp.

Of course, it's not great compared to an expensive head but, for the Vox foot switch I traded it for, it's been a great little backup and works way better than going direct or something for me. It can for sure play with a live drummer and other scooped out, delayed out, metal maniac guitarists.

I ended up getting rid of it but still don't think it's a terrible amp. You're right in that it's a one trick pony and I ended up looking for something more versatile.

Hey Glenn, thanks for demoing the Orange Micro Dark. I am faithful to Orange Amps because of that Midrange grind that barely gets any recognition. I think you should try to examine more low wattage tube amps like the Dark Terror, Mini Rectifier, DSL20, and a 5150 LBXIII 15. Those 100 watt amps are best when cranked to ear-grinding levels, but it's hard to do that when some of the metal players out there are courteous about their neighbors sleeping and those power tubes wearing out. I also want to ask if there are certain power tube saturation "tones" from 6L6, EL34, 6V6, and EL84 when they are cranked over the edge. Some people prefer it over pre-amp distortion, but it's a viable experiment to look into with a frequency spectrum or whatnot. Cheers from Ohio, and keep up the awesome guitar work!

I literally put it on the highest gain channel, and have Bass and Middle at 0, Treble at 10, and if you think that would sound bad, you'd be wrong lol. It sounds really good actually, that really dampers that "Solid state sludginess"

My suggestion to try out a 200 bucks amp: Hughes&Kettner StompMan. Would be interesting if that pedal/amp can do some metal. Also a little tip: if you have a Orange Micro Terror try using the headphone out as a DI out. The first run didn't have a speaker sim on the headphone out. If you go straight into your audio interface and use some IRs you get very cool tones.

Holy shit 😳 you have gotten so much better at playing over the years. I got one otlf these micro darks myself. Not the most versatile but good for the price. A little od takes it over the top too.

late to this party, but i actually played as a guest with a local band that were playing full sized more professional rigs and i was using this head with a Harley Benton 212 with V30s and a Zoom multieffect and i was still cutting through their mix with no problem. wasnt mic'd up either.

I love my Micro Dark. Its perfect bedroom volume with great tone! I put a gate, compressor and a metal zone in front. Honestly, the metal zone gets a lot of unnecessary hate lol

R E A L L Y good video, i've been thinking along these lines for awhile & it's always good to hear it done in a pro setting. I can 100% imagine this done as well with a Boss Katana to add a little something something, especially with the cab resonance options on the Head giving it that extra subtle dimension of tweakability to find a place with the other tones.

I remember a session when somehow 5150 sounded crap compared to Micro Dark. I tried everything with the 5150 but MD beated it with every cab for a more classic hard rock sound. Awesome!

Nice work! I had one of those 20W Orange jobs, different model, same line. I bought it to test an Aiken 1-12 cab with a Celestion EVH. The cabinet sounded good, so I bought a Marshall Origin 20 head to go with it. I let go of the little Orange when I was selling off some gear that I rarely use, but sometimes I miss it!

I love the Micro Dark, i have a Marshall MG100 and putting the MIcro Dark in the effects loop gives the MG good Sounding Distortion. I also run the MD into my Boss 8 track recorder, it sounds most realistic when playing the recorded audio back.

GLEEEEEENN! Would you be interested in demonstrating the Orange Terror Stamp at some point?. It's a tiny 20w amp with the design casing of a guitar pedal. It's literally an amp that you step on. It's a Solid State/Tube hybrid and it gets surprisingly loud for its size.

The stamp was a bit to fizzy for me, I ended up adding a cap so I could adjust the highs using one of the gain knobs.

Apparently Caleb Shomo of Beartooth used one of these basically dimed through a mesa 4x12 to record the guitar for their first two albums. If it's good enough for that, then it's good enough for me.

Hey Glenn! Awesome vid, I have always loved oranges with a boost in front to get them tight. I would love to see a video on the new super crush or even the crush pro 120 (the older model) heads. I use a crush pro 120 head, but I would love to see what you could do with one of the full size heads!
