[@kyleboggs1966]

forgive me if this is an ignorant question, but using the effects loop return for distortion pedals... If I understand it correctly, it's Guitar > Distortion Pedal > Effects Return. How would you wire it so you can still use Reverb/Delays in the loop?

[@damonligaw5207]

@@kyleboggs1966 guitar>distortion>delay>reverb>return Master volume will be the distortion pedal.

[@kyleboggs1966]

@@damonligaw5207 My wonder, was does it have the same tone going this way vs. just through the return or will it be notably different?

[@johnquiroz8279]

What if I plug it into a Cioks DC7 ?

[@marcuslewitzki4610]

Where does this amp stand compared to the Pedal Baby as a pedal platform? I know the Pedal Baby is 100W while this one is only 20W but since 20W is quite loud enough for most applications and it only costs half of the Pedal Baby AND it has its own preamp (which the Pedal Baby doesn't have) then wouldn't the Terror Stamp make the Pedal Baby obsolete?

[@Viper-dz2kw]

I am consistently reminded how much I love Orange clean tones despite them being mainly marketed for their gain tones

6:20 A Metal Zone in the loop. I see you're a man of culture as well.

[@SerjBassist]

One day Ola Englund (I think it was him) did this and suddenly ironic consumption of the Metal Zone was over. That, and the improved Waza version.

[@amandahuginkiss6868]

For my money, this is where the tone starts to appeal to me. And I still have my Metal Zone from the '90s, and it still sounds killer pushing another power stage into overdrive+

[@christopherkennedy873]

Metal Zone is a pre-amp pedal. Using it as such is how you do it. 🤘💥

[@cornelius5595]

I got one of these a week ago now, and I have to say I've been pretty hooked! I've used it as a clean amp, crunch, and have run preamp into the return and I too had impressive results. I want to see more pedalboard based amps from other manufacturers and glad to see Orange making moves in this category. Maybe one day we can get a Mesa Mark series or dual rectifier in a stomp box format too.

[@moisie13]

Hey, how loud is it with semi clean sound?

[@gramursowanfaborden5820]

when you first showed it i was like "oh it's a solid state, still pretty cool though" and then you showed the tube inside... madness.

[@darklinkduck2275]

I’ve heard from orange them selves that this is a micro dark inside of there. The original micro terror circuit didn’t have an effects loops so they thought it be easier to just use the micro dark

[@christopherkennedy873]

This

[@jefgirdler7232]

I can't wait for bassists to get this kind of support... man one of these would be AWESOME as a bass head.

[@Opi_812]

Look into the Quilter Interbass! It's a 45 watt solid state bass amp with more features and a slightly smaller footprint. I have their guitar version, the Interblock 45. I was looking between these orange Stamps and the Quilter for a pedalboard rig and ran into a great deal for the Interblock and I don't really think I'd trade it for one of these, especially since I already have a micro terror.

[@Viper-dz2kw]

5:12 eyes widened when I heard that tone, absolutely beautiful

[@Opi_812]

8:54 I'm pretty sure Orange's own Adrian Emsly has stated that this IS the micro dark terror in the pedal format, so I don't think they'll come out with another.

[@chriscaronna5640]

A micro dark with a tweaked gain structure.

[@InsomniacMatt]

I love Orange's grittyiness for classic rock sounds, and the high gain stuff sounds great for doom

[@ScienceofLoud]

It's a doom machine for sure. All that grit is great for adding girth to a mix.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

Figures. I finally made the biggest rig change of my guitar career. Got rid of 28 years worth of gear. Bought the Thomas Blug AMP 1 that is the size of an EHX multieffects pedal. 100w tube driven four channel amp with crazy controls. A Line 6 Helix feeds it and it all goes to an EVH 2x12 cab. That's it! Three components. Cost me about $3400, but with all my trade in's, I only had $45 out of pocket, so that tells you how much shit I took in to my local GC. Now this thing comes out! Oh well, maybe I can make a small board with this and a 1x12 cab to take to rehearsal. This thing sounds fuckin' badass!

[@ScienceofLoud]

Blug's AMP 1 is a fantastic bit of kit (and he's a cool guy to hang with), sounds like you have a killer rig. Of course, there's always room for another miniature board in your life.

[@lenardmgtr]

that chorus is pretty timely and relevant... great tones!

[@NefariousDreary]

Sounds incredible with the tube screamer

[@thepedalzone]

Great demo, bud! This does indeed seem like a super handy tool for great fly-rig or home studio tones. I really enjoyed those flanged atmospheric sounds around the 5:12 mark. You got the ambient powers, my friend ❤

[@RiffHarvester]

Whoa! I totally have my microdark on my pedalboard! I didn't even know anyone else was doing this too! I thought I was a freak lol.

[@ScienceofLoud]

You are part of a large community you didn't even know about.

The Metalzone sounds like an expensive boutique pedal

[@armax00]

... And great ending interlude though the random surprise ones were quite fun :)

[@CaptPostmod]

I've been showing up to gigs with just a guitar and small pedalboard bag since 2016 thanks to Quilter. Sometimes I bring my own cab, too.

[@lilithhiddenvillain5086]

It's pretty incredible that they managed to make this sound decent. I already have the Boss Bass Driver doing a similar thing for my bass setup, but I'd definitely consider making a small guitar setup using this.

[@pauloscabeni5277]

Good to hear that I Don't Wanna Stop riff :D

[@j.ivguitar8636]

As a big fan of the Orange Micro Terror and Micro Dark, this looks pretty sweet. I wouldn't mind getting one for the new pedalboard I've been working on. I just wish that the footswitch gave you a second gain option, instead of another volume.

[@armax00]

AHAHAH the hell baby was great :) very interesting tones. I am currently going for multi effect pedal board mostly because I am learning to understand what I want, but this seems a great idea at some point in the future!

[@mypal1990]

That metal zone in front of it screams!

[@toemasmeems]

It was in the FX loop you uncultured swine! Watch ola Englunds video

[@seansalo5117]

At 4:30 it says FX Loop, but at 6:10 it says FX Return. Can someone explain to me the practical difference in usage here, or is it just a difference in wording? I understand what the FX Send and Return are, but I don't understand the signal path implied by "FX Return".

[@ScienceofLoud]

It was all explained in the video, but let me elaborate further: An amplifier contains within it two parts: a preamp and a power amp. The preamp is the tonal centre, taking the input signal and applying gain and EQ. The power amp amplifies the signal from the preamp to get it to a level that will drive a speaker. The FX loop sits between these. The Send is the output from the preamp, the Return is the input to the power section. If you want to use the amplifier's preamp for distortion, but also want to put a delay after that distortion in the signal chain then it goes in the FX loop. The signal chain becomes: Guitar>amp input (preamp)>[Send]delay[Return]>power amp However if you want to use an external preamp instead of the one within the amplifier then connecting directly to the amp's Return bypasses the internal preamp. Remember, the Return is an input to the power amp. So the signal chain becomes: Guitar>preamp pedal>delay[Return]>power amp These give you the same signal again in each case, but what changes is whether the preamp is internal or external to the amplifier.

[@seansalo5117]

@@ScienceofLoud ah I obviously missed that entire part haha. I see now why you might use a pedal like that in such a way. Thanks for the thorough explanation!

I think it would be useful to hear this compared to the Micro Terror. I know they are probably exactly the same, but hey, still would be good to hear.

[@danielschmidtke9213]

I have a micro terror and I may convert to this for the effect loop.

[@joolsc3120]

Just did exactly this and have to say the tone isn't exactly the same because the eq is replaced with a shape knob that only adjusts the mids. Depending on tone that could work for you tho. Or just throw in an eq pedal

[@Dani-El.]

It's a pedal version of the Micro Dark, despite it's white enclosure.

Hi Colin !!! Amazing video as usual that actually made me buy one for my Pedalboard. I am updating my comment as I just realized that you already made a video where you explained that changing a preamp lamp can indeed influence the tone :) !!! So my bad !!! I found as well that the high Gain was a bit too Fuzzy and started looking for a different lamp that could be on my taste (I was about to go for a TAD RT010). But this morning I just decided to put an EQ and give it a try. By reducing the trebles I could reach my kind of high Gain tone 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤘🏻🎸 I completely eliminated the fuzzy part !! It sound huge !! I am so happy !! No need to order a new lamp. Long live EQs !!! 😝🎛️

[@zenwarfare70]

great video. Always something to learn !

[@RFK855]

I am waiting for its 2-channel version. Clean & Dirty. :)

[@jadeadams6663]

Set it clean. Distortion pedal. 2 channel amp now.

[@cameronjenkins6748]

I think one thing that Orange should have done with this is make it more clear which micro amp it is more similar to. The white paint hints at it being more similar to the Micro Terror, but the shape control hints at it being more similar to the Micro Dark.

[@Dani-El.]

It is definitely the Micro Dark, according to the designer. I know, it should be black, but it's not.

[@CC-fi3pp]

It's the dark, it has the effects loop.

[@DragonofLimerick]

It's taking longer and longer for me to find a moment to watch these videos. Great video by the way!

[@jpmetalmusic]

6:17 I Don't Wanna Stop! 😍

[@Thanksforaskingme]

Would be awesome if they did one with a dedicated preamp out, and maybe another switch for high and low gain

[@Thanksforaskingme]

Oh and with two preamp tubes

[@gilmouring]

Cool cool. Tough choice between this and the Two Notes Le Lead...what makes me inclined to the Two Notes is the two channels you can combine.

[@ScienceofLoud]

Not really a tough choice considering the Stamp is a full amplifier and the Le Lead is a preamp. You'd still need a power amp to go along with the Le Lead. The example of the Stamp being used with the V4 preamp is a perfect example of this.

[@gilmouring]

@@ScienceofLoud right. Actually I just need something like this for recording purposes. For most of the cases I don't need the power amp! I would use the preamp outs and emulate a cab! But yes, the Orange has that option while the Le Lead doesn't. I'll keep that in mind!

[@CRAZY-D]

AWESOME review BROTHER

[@LUR1FAX]

Well if it sounds good with the Metal Zone, it must sound good with any pedals I might throw at it!

[@Briansgate]

I have this and I love it!

[@ScienceofLoud]

Are you using it within a pedalboard set up? What pedals are you using with it?

[@Briansgate]

@@ScienceofLoud It's all on my pedalboard. Alongside the Stamp, I have a TC Electronic Skysurfer for reverb, the TC Electronic Prophet for Delay, MXR M101 mini Phaser and a good old Boss DS-1 for Distortion when I want something other than the natural sound of the pedal itself. I'm going to add a wah eventually, but, that's all I use. Please keep up the great video content, Colin!

[@simons75]

That's the best metal zone tone I've heard.

[@JavierMunoz-jl6ul]

[@trrzzl]

[@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?

[@marvinstarr2631]

Mine rocks thanks Sweetwatee

[@73prd]

U do need to run it through the pedal baby because on its own 20w doesn't cut enough and the pedal baby with then give that 100w boost option , better to be safe than sorry I say just imo, great demo too mate

[@slimkickens]

I really hope Fender/Vox/Marshall etc jump on this.

[@jezmez68]

Can you go direct out of this into an audio interface, and if so, which output? The Send? The Headphone out? Surely not the Speaker Out?

[@matthieucroset]

I'm also interested to record direct and i think you can use the headphone out with cab sim. I would like to use the line out instead without cab sim and go to m'y torpedo cab M for proper cab sound. But not sure yet if it works well.

[@timbrowner6643]

Use the send and then use an ir in your daw

[@markwhitehead6965]

'Ah've licked the backaeit' . Ah pure love that!🤣

[@mellowmonsoon278]

[@ScienceofLoud]

Don't connect a cab. Run FX Send to DAW. Apply Cab IR. You have silent bedroom recording rig.

[@oncameramastery]

I know it's alot to ask, but if orange could just squeeze a reverb in as well I'd buy one!

Is that a little MG15 stack? I have one. But i Upgraded the speakers for vintage 60's as the origional speakers are really cheap and it shows as they weigh hardly anything. And i bought a Marshall DSL1 HR head to put on top fits perfect and sounds awesome. Really moves air now.

[@humanperson3779]

The stomp button is a fucking volume boost?? That’s actually so sick

[@matheusmoreiradearaujo3267]

It sounds great! But I didn't get it at one point: it is stated that you need a dedicated power supy other than your pedalboard's, but does it also need a separate power amp? Sounded like it didn't, so its amazing and a must have to me! Can't afford a proper valve amp and speaker cabs so this and the mesa boogie IR pedal would make wonders to my sound. Great video man

[@JavierAravenaClaramunt]

This is a full micro terror. It's a tube preamp with a solid state power amp, so you don't need a separate poweramp (but you do need a cabinet unless you are planning on just using the headphones out)

[@matheusmoreiradearaujo3267]

@@JavierAravenaClaramunt I see, thanks a lot!

[@seangriffey8669]

Do these sorts of amps with tube preamps, but solid power sections, need to be connected to a load like standard tube amps or are they fine without?

Sean Griffey They are fine without a load connected because of the solid state power section, it’s only with a valve output transformer that a load needs to be connected

I really wish you had A/B compared all those different pedal configurations with just the Orange removed from the chain. That way, we get an impression of what it actually does to the sound and how the pedal train sound changes without this preamp...

[@ScienceofLoud]

You seem to have missed the point that the Stamp is a fully fledged amplifier that is outputting to a speaker cabinet. There would be no sense in A/Bing with and without the amplifier as the pedals alone wouldn't drive a speaker cab.
