Orange Terror Stamp Vs Actual Amp! (feat. Ade Emsley From Orange Amps)

With Amp Pedals becoming more and more of a thing these days, we thought we'd put the Orange Amp Stamp to the Test, vs an Orange Amp, and who better to tell us about them both than the guy who designed them?!
Chris and Ade Emsley, Chief Designer of Orange Amps, discuss the two options, and pit them against each other!

Should have used the same cab to really hear how they compare

[@vahevictor4455]

Yes very bad comparaison...... should have used the same cab........

[@josearjona3728]

All I ask in this life is a 20 watt Orange Rockerverb, like Marshall Studio Series but in the Orange way 🖤

[@andyc5729]

I want a Terror AD

[@SpiritOfOrange]

Have you tried the Jim Root Terror (15W is loud enough)?

[@josearjona3728]

@@SpiritOfOrange is loud enogh but I prefer a little bit more clean headroom, Root's one is a dirty machine

[@SpiritOfOrange]

@@josearjona3728 Have you tried the Rocker 15 Terror?

[@paulh1355]

Is it just for size and weight benefits? because the mk3 rockerverb has attenuator built in. the wattage doesnt really matter sound/volume wise

[@wizardofdoom]

Those 2 volume knobs should've been gain knobs. Switching between 2 gain settings would've been more useful

[@TroyNaumu808]

For a more complete test it should have been on the 4x12 cab but even without it the Terror Stamp kept up. The differences were small to my ears.

[@kosmicwizard]

Wonder if the stamp would have sounded better through the 4x12?

[@elihue_redneckreview]

What it doesn't do that the Dark Terror does, is get that EL84 power tube distortion. The stamp does great with Preamp gain though. It's a fantastic little amp and I would recommend it to anyone, but don't have false expectations that it's the same as a proper Valve amp. It's a great practice amp, pedal board amp, and a convenient backup to have in your gigbag in case you have a valve burn out during a gig. Nothing beats it for the price. Hope that helps.

[@elihue_redneckreview]

The Terror Stamp is really good sounding (and surprisingly LOUD) through a 4x12! I have both the Dark Terror and the Terror Stamp...the stamp really captures the essence, especially at lower volumes.

[@mattscott5931]

I have a Terror Stamp and it sounds WAY better powering a cab

[@johnschutt9088]

I run my Terror/Stamp into a single 25w Greenback cabinet and it sounds like my 100w Orange Super Crush

[@73prd]

Please make a 2 channel terror stamp, clean and dirty

[@MusicWizard85]

Orange Terror Stamp isn't bad for the price but for a little more $ I'd rather have the Orange PPC 212-OB 2x12 to use with my Line 6 Helix.

[@Raypublic]

OK, so I found the cabin on it to be like he says just good if you wanna practice. What I found is the boss IR 200. Which has remarkable cabinet emulation with so many to choose from. so if I needed to, I can shut off the amp on the IR 200 use the line out from the terror stamp and I have an infinite number of cabinets and set ups that I can send to front of house or through an FRFR.

[@woodworksolutions6365]

Bought mine dark terror at GAK few years ago and its amazing!

[@kirbyjakescarborough4515]

Hey mate, I enjoy your channel very much! I bought a Woodrow because of you guys! LOL LOVE IT! Any idea when and if someone's doing a Marshall Stamp? Would love to see UA do one... Cheers & THanks!

[@JasonAkersMusic]

[@RealRockGuitar]

I own a Terror Stamp. The cab sim sounds like crap compared to running through a real cab. I run it through a 4 x12 Marshall cab and it sounds great. Would liked to have heard a true comparison here running it through the same cab.

[@KaddysJamKave]

I'm a recent Orange convert.... love me Dark Terror... been waiting for the Orange Super Crush 100 for 3 months now and doesn't look like it will arrive down under until November / December. Arghhhhhh the paiinnnnnn of waitinggggggggggg.

[@sid35gb]

Don’t worry when it arrives and you’re rolling in the feedback whenever you want that’ll be worth the wait.

[@xStabizorz]

How do u like the SC100? Found all the crush stuff to be fantastic

[@KaddysJamKave]

@@xStabizorz I found out that it is a piece of trash worthy of burning on a fire pit. I'm not joking.

[@xStabizorz]

@@KaddysJamKave Oh dear

[@KaddysJamKave]

@@xStabizorz Haha, it just so happens that I just uploaded a Super Crush video...

[@alexrtsimpson]

What exactly do you mean by "our portable recorder"? thanks

[@Dani-El.]

A portable sound recorder. Like a field recorder thing.

[@bleuxmoose]

So to be clear the terror stamp is the same circuit as the micro dark?

[@nedgey]

Grr. If this was a versus comparison you should have used the same real cabinet. Now we have no idea what the difference actually is because the Stamp is going into a cab simulator DI.

[@mowogfpv7582]

Clearly the DT is better here but I suspect that's mostly due to the analogue "cab sim". Put the stamp through a decent IR and I reckon it would sound indistinguishable from the DT. That said I feel like the real gap in the orange range is for a micro crush head as a solid state replacement for the micro terror / micro dark. Compete with those "Boutique Amp Distribution" things. Maybe with valves going up in price it will happen 🤞

[@darklinkduck2275]

Absolutely when I heard they won’t be in the same cabinet I went he ruined the video it’s cool As a gimmick but this video sound comparison is worthless

[@andyc5729]

Ade rocking a bit of Ted Nugent’s Stranglehold, love the sag and bloom on the DT

[@DanielDavis730]

Carnt here valves in either one

[@jackfryer3617]

Can open these up and adjust the gain pot and make this think sparkly clean. When I say open I mean if you are competent to do so.

[@deicidalmaniac]

Combine that adjustment with a lower gain preamp tube (at7) and it's a beautiful little clean/crunch amp

[@ianjamieson3985]

Sorry, am I missing something here? Is the pedal actually an amp? Can you go guitar - pedal - speaker cab?!!

[@jackfryer3617]

Yes

[@Sagerydian]

Yes. I wonder why they "made the comparison without cheating" and then plugged the head into a cab and used the speaker sim on the stamp. Doesn't make sense at all.

[@douglasmack999]

@@Sagerydian I thought that too... hmmmm 🤔

[@LesPaulisMore009]

Check this. It’s an amplifier in pedal. Yes you can power a 4X12 and Rock your bottom off!

[@CoolGuyAtlas]

It's just a preamp, so you need a power amp. Either a pedal power amp or using the power amp section of an amp head

[@SoloSi2024]

Nice Ted Nugent quote! Stormtroopers coming get ready!

[@Dani-El.]

Possibly one of the worst comparisons I've ever witnessed. Why not plug into the speaker cab? Puzzling!

[@matthewbolduc2714]

I agree. This has the effect of confusing casual observers. It makes this amp pedal seem like you have to hook it up in some convoluted way that may not be easily understood by many viewers. Specifically, it is not necessary to hook up the headphone/cab Sim output jack to anything. You can leave it blank. Just plug a speaker cable into the dedicated speaker output on the Stamp and plug the other end into a speaker cabinet. Simple. The cab that you use will simulate itself. The cab Sim is for headphones and recording.

[@gazb2069]

Orange are effin awesome
