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
Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
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.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Controls are easy to figure out. Only three controls, but easily tweaked to match songs or your style.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
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.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Great sound right out of the box.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Clean look. My preference would be the options for other colors or designs, but very clean.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Yes. I feel it will continue to produce great sound for years to come.

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 !

How did the stain or paint job look?
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!

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.
Tone

For one knob, it is just incredible. It covers a wide range of tone.

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.

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.
