"not a huge orange fan" every orange review: I THINK IT SOUNDS SUPER AWESOME

[@TheSouldead1]

With an EQ in the loop and an Overdirve in the front it actually has a really good tone for metal. Especially for it being a lunchbox amp. My opinion anyway.

[@miggymystic]

Agreed, EQ in the loop really makes it come alive, especially at high gain, but it's great for clean tone sculpting too.

[@nathanrobarge6970]

Exactly, pair mine with an OCD and it's the best bang for the buck Amp imo

[@arifmemovic3383]

@@NubsWithGuns Most guitarists have little to no knowledge about electronics. If you put the exact same circuitry in this "lunchbox amp" into a full sized head, people wouldn't know the difference, but they would evaluate it as more professional because bigger = better.

[@guitarandmore69]

​@@arifmemovic3383 Bigger = Tubes and transformers. And more of them.

Not an Orange fan, but always impressed... something doesn't add up here.

[@justincarrasco3680]

I guess you're a closet fan?

[@nodalisehill208]

I see what you mean but I think he means he has a disposition towards not liking Orange amps

[@JRRoss-vx1ni]

Probably just means he'd rather play on something better but is still impressed by them. They're ok imo but the gain had a little noise associated w/ it. I guess you'll have that but w/ these theres no fx loop in the back so even a noise gate doesn't help. They do have a nice thick tone but you'd be better off going w/ one of their other ones that has the fx loop in the back. JMO

[@maxupp]

@@JRRoss-vx1ni the micro dark actually has a loop. Personally I play a Rockerverb.

[@AmericanMe]

[@gregharder2765]

It's a pretty good endorsement when Ola chugs on it longer than other products. I'm intrigued.

I just got this amp on monday. It's fucking fantastic especially with a Tubescreamer in front

[@Strokebass01]

Still my go-to high gain amp

[@nibsabbath1825]

I've got an Orange Micro Terror and it's incredible. It won't chug by itself, but the clean and rock tones are so good.

[@bestialdevastator6474]

[@Standonittt]

I miss my 6505 mh.it was a beast.but I'd really like to try this it sounded amazing.also wanna experiment the difference in a 1x12 compared to 4x12.i have Randall rg1003h and it's very versatile.

[@NacekO]

Before watching the video I have to say: "Yes it will chug" :D

[@MisterFuckinGreg]

Orange amps are awesome. I have a tiny terror head that I use for my Stoner band and it sounds killer with an overdrive pedal ! I'm always impressed of the versatility (and the loudness!) of these tiny amps...

[@Khaynizzle7]

Those Tiny Terrors are incredible. My friend has one and hooked it up with a TS808. Gorgeous tone

[@chrisbrown7175]

I love how big this small amp sounds; I also like that I can totally get away with plugging it into a big speaker cab. It does look a little weird on a big cab tho, so I plan to buy an empty big Orange amp head with dummy controls on the front and hide the micro dark inside lol.

[@BB-xn1rw]

What kind of tune did you swap it to? I just picked up one of these used for $100… while is doesn’t sound like my 96 2 channel Mesa dual, it’s sound decent running into a cheap fender deluxe 1x12 closed back

[@craigb834]

I have had this amp for a while now and knew the answer before he started. Best buy out there by far. I have been using it lately as a power amp with an M-Audio Black Box and 7 band EQ into the FX loop into a 1x12 cab and it is UNBELIEVABLE! Had the black box for years and wasn't crazy about it until I ran it this way. The tones I get now are out of this world.

If Orange is good enough for Jim Root, it's good enough for me. I love my Dark Terror Head; especially for baritone leads. It has an intangibly ominous filthyiness, particularly with the Ghoul Screamer/Darkblood pedals in front.
