Orange Terror Stamp - Hybrid Pedalboard Amp

[@SamLibman]

Two things that never disappoint... Orange & Andy!

[@TheOfficialCaseMade]

Got tired of seeing demos of this pedal by people that spend more time buying gear than they do practicing, you can only hear a sloppy pentatonic run into a bend so many times... Andy NEVER disappoints. The playing always fits the gear and never the other way around.

[@bootlegapples]

Andy does the best demos.Plays songs (no aimless noodling) & multiple styles that FIT the demo'd product,provides enough info but doesn't yap away.As always good job Andy.

Iv been using the stamp for sometime now, I have it going into a Musicman 4x12 and it’s so dam loud, it’s super loud, I only use it in a band setting and we play in a huge venue it’s like an airplane hanger and I don’t mic up!!, it’s in stereo with with a musicman HD 212 150 watt tube amp going into another 4x12 and it keeps ups, and that’s playing clean no break up with pedals for dirt.

[@HarshTonesInc]

Sounds pretty dang good!

[@icarusi]

You need to use the supplied PSU 'brick'. IIRC it's the same one as the MicroTerror and MicroDark 15V 2A centre +ve regulated, unless your pedalboard PSU can deliver this 30w spec. On the good side the PSU wattage is rated higher, than the amp output wattage. Not always the case with some other makes.

[@castleanthrax1833]

I own one and from what I can gather, there is an input transformer in the power supply. I think it adds to the small size of the Stamp itself. Anyway this is an awesome little amp. ✌️🇦🇺

[@bobcherbekrasivo3541]

Hi guys ,I just use 65w power bank for laptops and microscheme that gives 15 volts so it's less space required , also pedals supplied with that power bank

[@swmorgan515]

Sounds great. The gain seems to take on a fuzz character after mid-way on the dial, which was also my experience with the micro dark. Useful, but wouldn't be my main high gain sound. Can anyone speak to how well it takes an OD boost, or a full-blown amp-in-a box drive medal like the Angry Charlie?

[@icarusi]

I have one of these now, to complete the set. The supplied PSU on mine sends low level 'motorboating' noise over the 'cab sim' out. The Microterror and Microdark PSUs don't do this, so either the Stamp is more sensitive to the PSU or the Mocro's PSUs have better screening (or my particular Stamp has a fault). It'll be worth checking for this noise ASAP, if you don't have an alternative PSU, assuming you want to use the cab sim out.

[@conanbrophy4406]

Mine does exactly the same. Good to hear it can be fixed with a different power supply

[@androsantos9959]

Was looking for this issue as well and motorboat sound is the most accurate way to describe it…I turn up the volume on this plugged in via cabsim out and instantly get that sound especially when I have gain up. I thought it was my headrush frfr speakers but now I know I dont have to trade this one in just yet…

[@mjr2470]

Great for cleans and dirty at home for me. Fantastic if you don't have a fuzz pedal. If I want to turn the gain up high. Its very fuzzy. It just must be me and my taste of sound and my picking or something.

[@conanbrophy4406]

So true... with the gain maxed you've got a superb fuzz pedal. I could happily use just this amp for everything from clean to OD to Fuzz. But then I couldn't keep blowing all my money on pedals so I'm not gonna do that.

[@uzairp278]

Hey Andy - perhaps a stupid question but can this be run into e.g. a normal fender tube amp to get a more orange like sound, or is it only for cabs?

[@AndyDemos]

That’s a great question: you can but only if you use the Line out (FX loop send). This would allow you to use just the tube preamp portion into other pedals/amps. Thanks!

[@thepilgrimplays]

Hi, I need to know 3 things about this box: 1) Can it be used as a simple dirt pedal through an actual amp? (NOT a cab, but a combo or head). 2) And if so, can it take other pedals before AND after it, again like a simple dirt pedal? Maybe using the send/return? 3) Can its line out (NOT the speaker cab.sim.) go directly into a PA?

[@AndyDemos]

Great questions! 1) Yes, you can use it like any other overdrive with the Line Out and run it into an amplifier. 2)The preamp is made to handle any pedals before if (because it is an amp itself). 3) Yes, you can use Line out without Cab sim to a PA or Interface (it will sound very direct). Thanks!

[@thepilgrimplays]

@@AndyDemos Wow thanks man for the quick and detailed reply, you're such a great guitar guru 🙂

[@73prd]

Wonder how this sounds through the orange pedalbaby, would it sound like an actual higher volume amp or just a pedal hmm

[@deviatedseptum748]

How do you use the effects loop and line out at the same time? Do you split the signal right before it goes into the return and send one half to the interface?

[@sweetzjonny]

[@christopherkennedy873]

Hi - what do you think about using this as a preamp ( say, in a Crush head) bypassing the preamp section in the Crush head? Seems to me the tube might give you the "feel"/sag of a tube amp? Just spitballin' here...

[@charlesoxley7242]

Hey Andy, fantastic playing and great demo! I really like this pedal. Question: you mention that the distortion pedal is the last thing in the signal chain, after modulation type effects. I always thought you should place any sort of distortion pedals (as well as compression pedals) in front of modulation pedals? Am I incorrect or mis-informed?

[@AndyDemos]

You have the right idea, in general. However, since the distortion pedal IS the amp, you would have no choice but to put all pedals before it. That's why Orange added the FX loop, so those modulation or delay FX can be "placed" after the preamp (the distortion) and before the speaker output. This is all assuming you are using the Terror Stamp as an amp. If you want to use it as a pedal, yes you can place is wherever you need! Hope that clarifies it.

[@jevonwhite5193]

Great demo! Would the Stamp still sound good at low volumes for playing quitely in a flat/apartment? I read one reviewer say it sounded thin at low volumes. Or maybe I can connect the Stamp to my audio interface, then to studio monitors, and control the volume that way?

[@AndyDemos]

That all depends on your cabinet (regarding the low volume quality) but speakers generally sound bigger when louder. I would definitely suggest using the cab sim output into DAW through monitors for greater volume control. Either way, you’re still using a solid state power amp. Best, Andy

[@jevonwhite5193]

Thanks for the explanation!

[@kfr5018]

Could I plug this into my mixer which goes into my PA system.

[@AndyDemos]

Yes, you'd use the cab sim output!

[@petelucchini1168]

Can this be lined into a guitar combo Amp?

[@beingthomas]

Yes, you just out the effects send as the line out and it gives the signal post preamp/drive and without the cabinet simulated sound.

[@raibard8886]

Excellent demo! The only thing I dont like about this amp is the shape knob. I find that it has very little useful settings.

[@AndyDemos]

It changes multiple frequencies at once not just high end. Try listening to how it affects the midrange when you place a fuzz into it. It is quite useful for reshaping the sound from “US” to “UK” tones. Thanks!

[@SergeiVlassov]

I found it genius! Very useful and full proof. Did not feel that I need more EQs. Goes from round jazzy tone to bright and glassy changing overall eq in a smart way.

I wish you could tighten up the gain without using an overdrive in high gain, but I love the clean and the point of breakup.

Hey. I appreciate the video. Any tips for using the Cab Sim? I plugged headphones intoit and it sounded killer, but I'm getting buzz with either plugging into a PA or an audio interface. Tried 2 different pedals and same deal. Might be just me? The out appears to stereo, what interface are you using, etc? Cable?

[@AndyDemos]

It’s pretty straightforward, use your normal guitar cable or TRS balanced cable at the headphone out to send to any interface input or a PA. It’s not stereo. If other pedals are noisy going into your PA then you have an outside issue, perhaps your PA isn’t grounded. Also, always use the 15V power supply on the Terror or you may get noise. Best, Andy

[@MrPauley]

@@AndyDemos it's not stereo? I'll check in another location, I def might have electrical issues here. But I get buzz when only using the terror stamp. But not in headphones. I'll check the adapter and trya few different things. Appreciate the reply.

[@AndyDemos]

Good question, if you are applying any amp/cab plugins or IRs to the direct signal in your DAW, I'd used the Line Out for a blank canvas. If you don't apply any of these effects or plugins, use the Cab Sim to get an amp-like recording. There's really no wrong way to use it, sometimes Line Out without any amp/cab sim sounds great (on bass, for example). Thanks for watching!

Andy, I'm curious if your recording set up and process has remained the same or evolved since the last chapter with PGS.

[@AndyDemos]

I try not to 'evolve' in terms of using all kinds of rack gear and plugins, although I could easily do that. I use the same Royer mic R-121 and generally the same Fender Deluxe Reverb or Hamstead Artist 60 for pedal demos. I recently added the OX Attenuator but still mic a cab and mix it will the 'virtual cabs' for more depth and realism. I've always wanted to keep it as true to what your ears hear in the room.

Hey Andy ! Thanks for the superbe demo, as usual. I'm pretty late at the party but I'd have some questions about this little thing, maybe you or a viewer will be able to answer me. I want to try the Terror Stamp very soon as I move a lot for my jobs, the aim would be to do small gigs. I red everywhere the volume is too low for a band setting when you chase after a clean/edge of breackup tone. I was thinking about a few possibilities to deal with this problem : - Cranking the gain and cleaning my tone with the guitar's volume pot when needed. Does it clean well when the gain is cranked a bit more than what you showed in your demo, and does it keeps a respectable ammount of volume ? - Setting the Terror Stamp to edge of breackup and boosting it with a pedal in front of it (I have a Lateral Phonics Marrakesh preamp which covers everything from clean boost/eq to fuzz territory with quite a lots of volume on tap) Any insight about that ? Thanks !
