There is no problem finding a tone with this little amp no matter the Speaker cabinet choice, low end or high end sound no problem . I have used this at venues that are small or dance hall sized places it does the job and carries you sound!

I’ve been wanting an Orange tube amp for years, but couldn’t warrant spending $1500-$2000, and also wanted something I could crank up a little at home. These little Orange amps sound awesome! Really loving it. Switches between 7 and 15W.
Great sound.
Also, AMS 0% payment plan is # the 1!

This is a hard rocking amp for metal. I hooked it up to a orange 1x12 16 ohm speaker cab and totally rocks hard.

Don't let its size fool you. This little head is a powerhouse! Tons of crunch, loud enough for jams with a drummer, paired with my ppc212 vertical cabinet and man sounds amazing!

This is my second orange amp and it kills it.

This is my second orange amp and it kills it. I've had the micro dark before and this has way better tone control, more gain and a better gain stage, takes pedals extremely well, wayyy more headroom, and I like the clean tone when you roll the gain back. It can even get pretty modern sounding if you run a precision drive or similar through it while still having a neat different orange flavor. Also this has a much more usable volume than the micro dark with the ability to use 7 watts.

Gain! It has plenty of gain people! You won’t be let down. It’s surprisingly rangey too. I can’t wait to plug in a tele and roll back the gain/play with the shape knob to see what comes out of it. It’s a keeper

Not for the guitarist looking for a clean amp, this one runs hot at almost any setting. I highly recommend for anyone searching for a gainier sound.

Got this amp the other day, plugged it in to my 4x12 Marshall 1960A & WOW! Really thick chunk & crunch, I recommend a 4x12 cab. It does sound good through smaller cabs. But a 4x12 really sounds fat. I got the non factory sealed one on a flash sale for 499.00 I highly recommend this amp if you play Rock/Metal...I blend it in stereo with a line6 4 spider..it kicks ***!

Product Review
This baby has a beautiful clean sound with no hum.....crystal like a Fender Twin.
Dialing in the gain and you can sound like a blue amp just breaking up on the accent notes,
As you continue on your gain journey you sound like super crunch Marshall 100 DSL with plenty of sweet palm muted punch. Turn the gain all the way and your friends head will probably explode. Metal without the fizz....still tight and articulate
The 7.5 watt,switch makes for a more studio or home friendly beast.
Yes I have this connected to two 2 x 12 orange open back cabs and this head can easily handle
The sonic challenge.
The biggest thing that makes me smile is flipping on this monster and just saying " is that sound coming from me....cool"

Your general opinion of this product.
Great little lunchbox amp for shredders. Sounds great for any heavy stuff you want to do and no need to add distortion. Loud as hell even set as low as you can get it.
Very well designed and put together.
Super heavy.
Dark Terror is right.
Perfect.
Great.
No problems yet.

Sounds like a dream

Your general opinion of this product.
Simply wow. The ability to make a head unit so small, but produce such loud and quality sound. Orange threw out all the stops on this one
This thing feels like a tank. Good materials. Yet not overly bulky/heavy. Great portability. Easy to store. Great for practice or small gigs if you have the right cabs.
Controls are easy to figure out. Only three controls, but easily tweaked to match songs or your style.
You can alter the sound from clean to heavy/distorted. Can pull off 70-80 thrash, or just some good ol' blues. Great pick for all.
Great sound right out of the box.
Clean look. My preference would be the options for other colors or designs, but very clean.
Yes. I feel it will continue to produce great sound for years to come.

As soon as you open the box you will be able to see how well this amp is made.
I've only had this for a few months but in that time this amp has been perfect.
Your general opinion of this product.
Five minutes is all you need to realize this is one of the best amps around.
There is a variety of tones you can get from this amp. Even clean tones with that awesome tube break up.

Low Watt Armageddon !

Rugged and well finished as is the 1X12 orange cab I'm using with it. I like JJ tubes anyway so it sounds great with these reliable tubes.
The Dark Terror has taken everything I've thrown at it. The perfect bedroom amp, or on 15 watts sounds great miched through the house PA.
Your general opinion of this product.
Suits my needs perfectly. I'm a Mesa Man so my tone is dark anyway. Fender like tone, not so middy like Marshall. Cab selection was interesting.

I'm playing EMG equipped guitars and Fender tele's and Strats through it. The fenders for my clean stuff, and the EMG guitars for the hellish sounds. Does it all. Better then my Vox Night Train. I mean if your into metal as I am, this litle amp has the stuff to open the gates of hell tone !
Very nice look, and better in person. Good contrast of colors between black and orange. Matches the orange colored cab well.

Your general opinion of this product.
I am generally a Marshall player but I have been looking for a smaller high gain amp. The Dark Terror appealed to me right off, all tube with a great effects loop, there is alot of different tones to be had pretty easy with just 3 knobs to turn. The construction is solid and it came with JJ tubes from the factory, win/win!
loooks good!
great!

Plain and simple it is an incredible amp overall. Great for cranking at home.

Well constructed as the others before him.
To be seen.
Your general opinion of this product.
If you are a rock player and you play mostly at home, this is the amp for you. Although, don't be fulled by this guy, he is loud as hell and it can be gigged with. It delivers a wide variety of tones. My brother is a gigging musician and has even played jazz with it. The amp is that good.
It covers a wide variety, not just the heavy, chunky, beefy rock metal sound for which it was probably intended for.
For one knob, it is just incredible. It covers a wide range of tone.
Superb!
Superb!

So far so good. I've had it a few weeks and have had no issues unlike past foreign made Orange's.
We shall see. But I have no reason to believe it will break down. If it does, it looks simple enough to repair given some electronics and soldering knowledge.
Your general opinion of this product.
Controls are smooth and very functional

I've heard the Tiny Terror looks like Hendrix's toaster, in that manner this looks like Ozzy's toaster. I wouldn't change a thing.
