Orange Tiny Terror Amp

Buy Now: goo.gl/nFTizn
The Orange Tiny Terror took the world by storm in 2006 and has been raising a ruckus ever since. Perfect for small stage, studio, and practice the Tiny Terror was one of the first all tube guitar amplifiers to bring boutique quality tone and durability to the working musician. Combining Class A performance and that infamous Orange tone, the Tiny Terror has become a new standard in modern guitar amplifiers. Simple controls make it easy to dial in the tone you crave and the 15/7 watts switch brings even more versatility to the table for studio use.
Orange Tiny Terror
The Orange Tiny Terror is built around a two stage preamp that delivers almost the same amount of gain as a four stage preamp. At mid gain settings the Tiny Terror is pure vintage rock n roll ala Black Sabbath. Crank the gain some more and get into some more modern rock tones. The clean tone is crisp and clear and the Tone control is extremely usable in all ranges. The addition of one 16 ohm and two 8 ohm outputs means the Tiny Terror can plug into the cabinet of your choice. The 7 watt setting is perfect for lower volume saturation and lead tones, especially when using a sensitive microphone to record. If you havent heard an Orange Tiny Terror, you need to.
Orange Tiny Terror Specifications:
* Class A Operation
* 2-EL84 2-ECC83
* 7 lbs
* 15/7 Watt Operation
* Two Stage Preamp
* Rugged Metal Chassis

I used to own an Orange Tiny Terror. Then I sold it and bought an Orange Rocker 30. I still miss the Tiny Terror. That's how good this thing is.

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

The Tiny Terror rocks hard - and Andy deserves a raise simply for jamming out "The Wizard" from the almighty Black Sabbath.

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

@teanakai - If you're looking for pristine jazz or '80's "power ballad" type clean tones the Tiny Terror probably isn't the amp for you. It's a dirty amp...that's what low wattage tube amps do best. For squeaky clean tones you'll do better with something higher wattage, with more clean headroom. Thanks for watching! -PGS Crew

[@fightinirishpj]

FOR ALL OF YOU WITH QUESTIONS... i have this amp... there's basically no difference volume wise between the 7 watt and 15 watt settings... a very subtle tonal change occurs tho. Yes it is definately loud enough unmiced for band practices and medium gigs, however it works best while mic'd because there is no master volume knob, so if you want it relatively clean, then you need it mic'd to be heard and no there is not any clean headroom over bedroom level. it's a very crunchy amp.

[@Keepsu]

This amp demo got me off my ass and into a shop to try it out. It really nailed the tone on the Stones' Can't you Hear Me Knockin, Zep's Rock and Roll, and Sabbath's Supernaut, so I bought one. I've had it for a month now and I couldn't be happier. Thanks Andy and PGS!

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

We mic'd the bottom 2x12 cab. It's just sitting on the 1x12 so you can see it better.

[@Theonlymoog]

Absolutely right. Power vs the human ear is funny: you have to go 10 times more powerful to get twice the volume. Therefore, to get twice as loud as this little 15 watt amp, you need to go to 150 watts. What these people don't realize is that they are missing the "sound" that goes with more power, not the volume. In which case, you plug it into a bigger cabinet.

[@jakestewartmusic]

I've played the Tiny Terror through a 212 and my 412. I played my Tiny Terror through a single V30 open back cab, and there was a loss in low end. The 212 added some more lows, but not as much as the Orange 412. I'd say if you want more low end, get the 412. They sound incredible

[@Moejoe989]

He's such a great person to review this! Smooth and dynamic playing! Loved it.

[@spiff389]

that sounds way better than any other demo i've heard of this amp! awesome!

[@mistersnaredrum]

very, for it's size. it's 15 watts, with a swith to go down to 7w. 15w at full stretch is loud enough for a small gig if you use the right speakers

[@GriffSquared]

This thing sounds good on here and it sounds even better in person. I just went to my local music store, this thing kills everything! it sounds amazing! the only thing is it would be a little quiet for big gigs with a 212

[@dashfront21]

about a year ago, i had a dream where i was in some sort of factory or manufacturing company, and all i saw were massive amounts of these orange colored amps, orange colored cabinets, you name it. it was incredibly loud, even in such a large place because ppl were blasting these things at such high volumes. i remember the tones were brilliant, and i was discouraged when i saw the price tag. when i awoke, i was curious and typed in 'orange colored amps' into google. to my amazement, they exist :3

[@MrIcefromheaven]

own one for about two years now, does clean very well at high and low volumes, but the overdrive sounds great at higher volumes. the settings andy uses are really loud in person but they sound identical in person with more bass than the mic picks up or the computer speakers can deliver. The clean sound is great for layering effects. The way the amp cleans up from dirty to clean without any channel switching got me to buy it.

[@ZK707]

@MemorymanDL He bent the neck of the les paul to get a whammy bar like effect and started switching between the bridge and neck humbucker, maybe he also turned the volume of the neck pickup down to turn the switch into a killswitch. Anyways, the note turned into feedback while switching.

[@TobyKBTY]

Just bought a greenback loaded cab and changed my TT's tubes. It's like owning a brand new sound! It breathes tone!!!!!!

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

@JazzyDave - Touche! Jokes....yes, it does do some rich, jangly "cleanish" tones (see Strat clip at the end), but with a 15-watt Orange tube head you're not going to get anything close to pristine. Nobody buys an Orange for the clean tone! What this amp does best is dirty rock n roll, so we chose to focus on it's many-splendored range of drive sounds. With a five-minute video you've got to prioritize. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

[@austinyun]

@Khaddar It's because bedroom players almost always play at low volumes. At low volumes you have to boost the treble and bass to compensate.

[@swishitjoey]

ericponsv: Only Jim Root uses them. Mick uses his signature rivera head. And plus Jim uses pedals to get his tone, he doesn't just crank the volume and gain and get the heavy slipknot/stone sour sound from the amp alone. And lastly he doesn't use the tiny terror, he actually uses the Rockerverb 100's.

[@GriffSquared]

This will pump out more gain and it will get much louder. You can get this one in a head instead of just a combo, and it is more versitile. The AD5 is a GREAT bedroom amp if you cant stand the sound of a modeling or cheap solid state amp.

[@dandue4444]

Ive had my tiny terror for a couple years now and i still get excited every time i play through it. Its just such a great amp and Andy is such a good guitarist, he can make anything sound good, and good things sound amazing. PGS rocks!

[@bwdevel]

Tube amps is where playing guitar gets expensive. There are cheap solutions, but generally the quality rolls off fairly quickly when you start dipping below $400-500 (head only). If budget is a problem there are a couple of low-watt entry level tube amps out there that aren't that bad, but they tend to lack importan features like seperate gain knobs and standby (e.g. the Epiphone Valve Jr).

[@wileym]

Not much headroom for clean. I used to run one of these through a 2x12 Mesa cab and it sounded awesome. The clean you heard in the clip is as clean as it gets which is why I no longer have it. This is the only amp I have ever had that still sounded great fully cranked with an overdrive pedal though.

[@sepulchre10]

@frontmanmike As a builder of tube amps I can say for a fact that not every tube amp be dialed in to a clean tone. Maybe most, but certainly not all. That said, my best friend just bought one of these and you are right about how well they clean up.

[@Haydza3100]

i reckon andy is the best demoer of new amps/effects because he mixes it up and really brings out the best in all of the products

[@Sean2592]

this thing has so much tone, so much everything in that little amp

[@GriffSquared]

I recorded my tiny terror through a Marshall 1960a 412... sounded huge! I usually run it through a 212 but with the 412 it gets even louder and has alot more bass to it. I'm considering getting a 412 because of how good it sounds through one.

[@peavyt15]

they aren't as loud as a full size head but they are a lot louder than you think it would be with only 15 watts.

[@jakestewartmusic]

I just bought the Tiny Terror, and it absolutely rips. This is easily loud enough to gig with and get over a loud drummer. I run it through a 4x12 cab. It cuts through the mix more than my 40watt Spider Valve did. My settings are- 15 watts, Vol 5, Tone 6, Gain 9. Got over a full band that plays loud enough to where the neighbors 6 houses down hear us. No joke, this amp is LOUD and sounds very mean. Just get it

[@umangu]

THE best looking Les Paul I've seen. Smashing Aerosmith licks

[@P0Psyckle]

not all 4x12's are 4 ohms.4x12 is just a configuration. it depends on the impedance of the speakers and how they are wired.

[@bondman00794]

generally a low wattage tube amp can overdrive easier sense it wont be loud when turned up. And a 15 watt could be used for clean and to get loud too.

[@Psykel]

It's a single channel amp, so no need for a master volume. It does have volume + gain tho, so you can tweak the cleanness/overdrive pretty easily.

[@dornerd]

Is it just me or does Andy have an extremely sensual voice when listing the speccs in this video??

[@JamesEPowell]

Marshall did make the Studio 15. It was a great little amp, especially for bar gigs, miked through the pa. I do not know why Marshall stopped making it.

[@mazsenior]

If you use this amp, with a 2x12 cab, and have a decent pedal board set-up, it will kill! Don't let the 15 watts deceive you. Especailly if you use a good boost pedal.

[@rgsantos23]

Great! The Tiny Terror is a very nice amp. I own one and it really gives a raw tone. Before yesterday I replaced the tubes and I get a 12AU7 on the first slot of the preamp, it really roles the gain back and gives more headroom to the clean tones, but I am not so happy with that, thought it was something else. I will put the 12AX7 again on the preamp. The amp really sounds nice with my new Tokai LS, also with my older Strat.

[@jakestewartmusic]

I'd bet it's just the mic positioning. He's got a ribbon mic in front of an Orange cab, and you might be comparing the sound of the mic'ed cab to the sound of your amp in a room. There's going to a be a huge difference in low end because high end is typically dispersed in a more straight direction from the speaker. So if you're standing above your cab, u dont hear all the high end and it sounds bassier. The mic was positioned in front of the speaker for a balanced tone.

[@smoss469]

It's the intro music they used for their older demo video's. Look through their video listing and pick something older to hear it better.

[@nubbinnoob]

I'm going to be putting my tiny terror up for sale. I've been playing it for almost two years with a strat knok off or a squire strat, and through an epiphone 1x12 cab. If you're not going to go all the way with this amp, dont bother. Use a good guitar. Play through an orange 1x12 or any 4x12. Dont cut corners and make damn sure all you like the distortion it gives because there is only one flavor with minimal seasonings. This one trick pony has a mean trick and if you get it youll love it

[@secretsofthedeep20k]

Nice Pearl Jam riff!

[@karmicdirt]

It pretty much does....it's a single channel amp with Volume, Tone and Gain. Volume is basically your master volume, tone is more of a tilt and gain is gain.

[@Fkepler2]

headroom and volume. 15w=gig 7w=recording. easier power tube breakup, the point is to sound the same actually. and its better to have a quieter amp in the studio for most cases so it will not distort the mic.

[@econgblues626]

i just got one right now and i cant stop playing with it!

[@4ntiIvIon]

oh my gosh.. andy make every amp sounds soo godlike

[@jakestewartmusic]

Yes it can, and it sounds massive through a 4x12

[@rgatt74]

Love the lead in with PJ!

[@leftystrat62]

Man if you ever did a lesson type dvd -I'd be the first to buy one. You've got a great range of playing styles and are just a pleasure to listen to. The great gear doen't hurt either. Cheers

[@Gonzo2197]

@FEAROWNAGE trust me man, this is plenty loud if plugged into a 4x12. The 7 watts is perfect for getting the "tube" sound at a medium volume.

[@AidenBradley95]

@theSavageHippie Well, the difference is easier to see when actually using the knobs, in a nutshell, it's easier to get that higher gain, more growly sound without pissing many people off with the 7 watt mode because the amp breaks up quicker on the lower wattage setting because there is less of what's called 'Headroom' that's why if you ever see what are known to be good clean amps (Fender Twin Reverb, Blackstar HT-40) they all have higher wattage so they can have more headroom.

[@flyingtoeverywhere]

Andy is the best reviewer.. this man know how to presenting the gear !

[@channerk]

I got my TT modded By Jule mods..... Not that expensive and it literally sounds amazing. Way more responsive..... and really opens up the tone.

[@RHCPfan]

@TheTelecaster14 No. Heads don't have speakers... You can severely damage the amp by doing that.

[@93poppunkdude]

Andy thanks for confirming my purchase! Everytime I think it might be time to move on from the TT I watch this and remember why Its the best amp in the world!

[@Querymonger]

@odgeUK Actually that song's called "Last Child".

[@e30winnie]

@Johannore - Yep. Aerosmith with Last Child. But this guy gave it a much more bluesy groove imho! Good job!

[@6stgsamurai]

Andy always has a million tunes in his rep.! Kudos!!

[@angrygoldfish]

The Dual Terror has extra power and two channels. It will be more suitable for live. This can be gigged, but larger arenas will need a PA to push it.

[@punkmusicmetal]

I regret not having the money to keep this thing and my Fender... This is just pure tone.

[@fzgn]

I would love to run a Big Muff at max vol/sustain into this baby at max Gain. I feel like this would go great with some fooz pedals :)

[@acdczeppelinhalen1]

@FringeDivisionNY just a tip on the knopfler tone, for the money for nothing sound I heard that he used a wah wah peddle pushed down in one of the positions, put does not rock it back in forth, just kinda does a jimmy page type thing

[@johnqpublic2718]

the lonestar is a choice amplifier. I've clocked some hours on a lonestar special and got addicted to that amp.

[@amcint01]

Finally! A face to the voice! Seems like a nice guy.

[@TheBlackCrayon77]

That 7watt max gain setting was off the hook! This little thing is a tone demon. Is there an effects loop on this amp?

[@all3698]

I forgot how awesome these things sounded

[@in2mu5ic]

it'd be nice to hear the relative volume difference between him speaking and the amp going through the same mic that's recording him talking. it would give you a good idea of what "10" on that amp sounds like relative to his speaking. don't take the cab mic away(sounds great). just add a small clip at the end where you can compare the speaking volume and amp volume both going through the room mic.

[@MaestrosounD]

I just love how Andy always talks like he's narrating a movietrailer

[@Shyuum]

Because it is real sound from Tubes vacuum It is louder than a 50 watt solid state amplifier

[@Ankerzeppelin]

@TheGnarchitect part of it is from Ramble On by Led Zeppelin

[@spider5001]

Sounds AWESOME!! =D Can you guys please do a demo of the AD5?

[@BigDumbNerd]

7 watt for recording or practicing. 15 watt for playing out with a 4x12. He says this in the video.

[@scaulderz]

orange, the pride of England

[@KckStrt]

Last song is Last Child... and this amp rocks....

[@dkrumrie123]

youre not wrong but not totally right. usually on smaller gigs its miked for the sake of monitoring purposes. its also dependent on the enclosure. so yeah i would agree with what you say but a single 12 inch combo just doesnt sit right on an arena stage

[@81giorikas]

absoluteley brilliant demo...

[@TJayee1]

@Yesfmal Yep Get the Crate Power Block. I am not a metal fan but this is ideal for heavy metal IMHO.

[@tonebenderx]

Two different Aerosmith tunes in one demonstration video! Oooohh Ahhhh!

[@tim11elliott]

a friend of mine runs a tt thru a marshall 4x12 and it sounds awsome.. plenty of low end and its loud. he plays it at gigs...i would recomend it for sure

[@incongra]

what immediately is apparent to me is that a much greater tonal variety can be got by using a strat. Whereas all the sounds using the LP are basically just different variations of the same sound, i,e, somewhat lacking in originality or even basic interest

[@jks2]

i saw jake from the casualties using this amp live in germany and it sound killer for punk so yes they ar great for punk!

[@AmaroneBeppage]

The waiting drove me mad...you're finally here and I'm a mess... Corduroy!!! ... Great tone!

[@retrac314]

I gained so much respect for you when you played Workin for MCA... Good review, I'm probably getting the combo version tomorrow!

[@edsreturn2012]

love that snarly sound

[@RobHudson93]

i've always wanted to know the starting music on these demos, you know the background music you play when your talking over the pictures? would love to download it!

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

@undathebridge - It depends largely on the cab / speaker configuration with either one.

[@jakestewartmusic]

The TT is usually around $550 and the 4x12 is like $1000.. But thats a ton of amp for $1550.. I dig the TT more than any Marshall or Mesa I've played, and you can't buy a decent head from Marshall or Mesa for much less than that..

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

The TT is played through the 2x12 you see on the bottom.

[@fatesmiles]

@source1zero guitars are a mid range instrument. scooped mids only work when you play with yourself.

[@aektzis91]

loving the wizard at 2.20!

[@aektzis91]

@teanakai i use the dirtier channel on my orange AD30 to get a great chimey clean tone with plenty of body. i bet you can get a similar sound with the gain low and the volume max in the 15w setting, especially with the guitar vol rolled back just a touch.

[@vainparasite]

I have the combo but I think on 7 watts it just cuts the top end howl off a bit and dulls the sound a little. It is an amazing amp tho now ive got to grips with it, I must admit to not liking it at the begining but letting it howl while my neighbour was out was a life changing moment :0))

[@k0sta5]

Gonna make lotsa mon-ay, working for MCA. Great amp, great tone, great examples to test the amp.

[@banedm]

Man, that thing sounds killer!

[@Soulshine59]

yeah buddy of mine has one he uses for gigs nice little amp.

[@GrooveGoblinDW]

great fast no bullshit demo.. some pro ass riffing too!

[@stringbreaker6]

thats why angus used a strat. some people just wanna rock man different strokes for different folks lol cheers

[@PunkRockKid289]

Is this amp good for punk if you crank the gain and treble? I want sort of a marshall JCM900 or Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifir sound, but those amps are waaaaay out of my budget. Can I get similar punk tones with this amp?

[@ledzeppelin4485]

on these videos the 7/15 watt selector doesnt seem to do as much as it actually does when you listen to the amp

[@briankmovie]

I have tried it at a store in Riverside, Ca. It is clean if you start with the Gain at 9 o' clock and the volume up past 12 o'clock. This guy is pushing it pretty hard in the pre and the back end. In a club they would mic it anyways...

[@davidontherocks]

Oh, so here is Andy from ProGuitarShop!!! I've wondered so long how he looks like. I think I was a little bit dissapointed though.
