As always with this sort of decision it depends. On what you want, what sound you’re aiming for etc. The amp takes pedals well on the front-end. It was designed to play nice with all types of effects pedals. Just add your favorite pedalboard, and away you go! The Orange Micro Terror was developed as a guitar amp head after getting a major chunk of its inspiration from the Tiny Terror, previously launched by the Orange company. It’s a long way from being the most stylish or best looking head and cab but it’s absolutely fine and no worse than many others. Both the amp heads in conversation today, the Orange Micro Terror and The Orange Micro Dark, come from the Orange Company.

The Micro Terror’s electric guitar amp head line-out is wired in the effects loop, so your sound isn’t degraded as it goes through the guitar amplifier. And since the effects loop (fx loop) comes before your speaker output, you can use it to drive a larger amplifier or a recording console with your wet signal. Listen To This Amp This should not be a big problem, as good quality second-hand power supply cables and transformers are available in abundance. Having said this, the sound could never be described as 'small'. These are louder than any amp this size has a right to be. I have used mine in some big rooms and still had sound guys telling me to turn down. If you're playing in venues with microphones for electric guitar, there'll never be an issue with dialling in a great clean tone. If anything, you'll want to run them a little bit hotter (isn't that always the way with guitarists?) because in my experience the best sounds have been just on the edge of breakup. s are notoriously boxy and the PPC108 is no different. You get next to no bottom end. The improvement in how it sounds through even a single 1X12 cab is going to be huge.

But, saying that 15w (tube) output will give you more than 15w (SS) output is misleading. You'll also notice I tried to stress "all things otherwise being equal." Practically speaking, all things are not equal. I also did not say the waveforms are identical, because they're not, but from a strictly power standpoint, you don't get any more volume from 15w of tube output than you do from 15w of SS output. If all else is equal. The notion the tube power itself is louder is false. Again, it's the mechanisms behind the amp design and characteristics when pushed beyond it's rated capabilities that makes the difference. It’s basically a downscale version of the Tiny Terror – the original lunchbox amp. It’s one of the most perfect home practise amps that we’ve ever made.”– Alex Auxier, Orange Artist Relations

You will be stunned by the depth of sound it amplifies. Want to know more interesting facts about this amp head? It can be used with any 8-16 ohm speaker cabinet. BuildSo can an amplifier this physically small really deliver the kind of juicy crunch upon which Orange built its reputation?
