Orange Micro Terror MT20 20W Hybrid Guitar Amp Head

Product Information

Great amp, sounds amazing, just a shame it’s not brand new, as advertised, looks slightly ex demo, otherwise it would be 5 stars. You can literally play clean melodies, loud chords and distorted power chords by just altering the way you pluck the strings. This package also includes one professional-quality 6m instrument cable and one 1/4" jack 1m loudspeaker cable, so can start enjoying your Orange Addict Pack straight away!

For late-night jamming, there's a 1/4" headphone jack that also disables the amp's 4 Ω speaker output when in use. One of the most important recommendations I could make with regard to these amps is to consider using a larger cabinet than the matching PPC108 cab. Highly portable and compact, this mini tube amp is a true Orange classic, with vitnage British character from clean crunch to massive overdrive tones. I have been using a Jet City 24S+ 2x12 cabinet, and have found that while it takes away from the portability of the stack a bit, the gains in tone are well worth it.When I disable one of the humbucker coils the sound gets really creamy and crunchy, and sounds very tube-like. There is also the option to swap out the pre-amp valve for a better one, but until the one in it dies, I am quite happy with the sound. I can't comment on the auxiliary jack which is included, but I'm sure it would serve a purpose if you needed it, and I suppose there's no harm in having the facility there. I play it mainly through a Seymour Duncan Stag Mag neck pickup and can honestly say that even though some people say this amp doesn't work well with single coils, it does! However that changed when I connected it to the Orange PPC108 cab that I bought with it because it sounded incredible!

I have combined this with an Orange Two Stroke to drive the front end a bit harder and have a much wider control of the tone shaping and I am in heaven. The amplifier's four-ohm minimum impedance output will safely drive eight- or 16-ohm cabs, but needs to be matched with a four-ohm load to deliver the full 20 watts. No manual in the box (really surprizing) no warning not to plug into the cab with an instrument lead, no instruction how to replace a valve. Obviously, there is no effects loop, so that's something to be aware of if you like running pedals through a loop.Just as before, when countless sizes used these amps, Orange Amplifier builds distinctive sound for people who know exactly what they want. You can actuall boost this thing with an overdrive pedal and achieve some true metal tones, It also handles loopers if the gain isn't too high. This scaled down cab's 8" speaker delivers a punchy tone and sound that has to be heard to be believed. However, the unit is not only housed in the same tough high-tensile steel case as its larger brethren, but it can also crank out a cool 20 watts into four ohms thanks to a solid-state Class D power amp.

You can then choose which finance term you'd like to apply for, and change your deposit if you wish. This is a true Orange Amp classic, with masses of vintage British character, clean crunch and full-on overdrive sounds. You could easily do a small pub gig with this amp and there are many videos on the 'the tube' which show how it can easily drive a 4x12. Before we answer that question, it's worth noting that an amp head this light can get very mobile, very quickly, even when equipped with non-slip rubber feet. I modified my Fender Mustang 1 amp so that I could connect its speaker to the PPC108 cab and now the amp sounds even better!

I was split between this and the Micro Dark, but I wanted more volume before breaking and entering into distortion territory. I have not purchased a product in a long time which has completely blown me away in terms of really surprising me how good it it.
