Absolutely brilliant

Orange #4 Jim Root Terror HeadPublished on 09/16/13 at 00:51
(This content has been automatically translated from French)
Lamp at all! 7w/15W
An effects loop, 2x8 and 1x16 Ohms Ohms output.
Easy adjustment: Volume, High, Medium, Low, Gain. (FYI, the dark terror of the preamp uses Thunderverb while the latter uses the rockverb preamp, amp Jim!)
Configuration at the top! It lacks a switchable clean channel!

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, you put everything in the middle and it sounds serious!
You can get a large range of sound quite easily.

SOUNDS

I play mostly metal, Djent and blues. This amp is perfect for what I do! One can get such sounds 6505, Krank, Engl quite easily I think. I use it with either a Mesa 4x12 or a 1x12 Engl 90s, while Celestion V30.

I play it with an Agile 8 strings, a Jackson RR3 and a custom Draco. The amp brings out the grain and character of the guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I am very happy! It really has a very aggressive sound and can be changed very easily. One can also get a nice little crunch that cleans.
Lamps start around 10 seconds to heat which is more than reasonable!
All metal frame, carrying case, reasonable power, ideal for repeat and play at home!
It lacks a clean channel! But hey, in the light of the quality of the first, it will not complain!

Formidable

Any single channel amp lamp
7 watts 15 watts in switchable
Effects loop drivée by a lamp 12 AT7
Classic 3 band EQ: Treble, Mid, Bass
Speaker output 8 or 16 ohm

UTILIZATION

Ultra simple setup: a single channel, it's plug and play: you plug it sounds.

SOUNDS

The clean sound is not his specialty, although it may have its charm he will never have enough power to play in groups.

It quickly crunch in the first third of the race gain at 12 is already in sounds so muscular stoner past 13h one enters the large saturation, always with a typical grain: very very biting midrange and bass fuzz .

SOUNDS

The clean sound is not his specialty, although it may have its charm he will never have enough power to play in groups.

It quickly crunch in the first third of the race gain at 12 is already in sounds so muscular stoner past 13h one enters the large saturation, always with a typical grain: very very biting midrange and bass fuzz .

I use a dinky Jacskon DK2M and Ibanez Darkstone, and I still get very easily what I want:
crunchy blues (awesome single microphone), the mad and generous saturation through the muscular rock, punk or stoner.

I have not tried a lot of pedals (chorus boss, Blackstar HT Dist, Lemon Squeeze Modtone) but it is always passed without problems, the wheat from the amp to the air to accept the pedals live. As against the effects loop seems a tad messy, one wonders what brings the lamp by comparing with the effects loop of a Peavey Classic 30 and even a Peavey Bandit 112.

The EQ does a very good job especially in the midrange knob is very progressive and affects damn about the general color of his: to navigate between the U.S. (scooped mids) and English (mediums background) very easily with the always personality and quite dynamic.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months now, on a 4X12 cab Hughes and Kettner Vintage series.

The -
Its not really usable clean
Mono channel
Questionable effect loop?

The +
The format can be lugging around with the bag comes with.
Power level is terrible, you can rub any drummer. For clubs it goes to the big plate anyway will put a microphone in front.
At the sound can tackle any style of rock / metal and even blues or funk still crunchy with lots of character and grain, so try before you buy because you either fall in love or hate you.

For the price / quality ratio I see in the long term, it is made in China so there's always a little apprehension in any case I do it again this choice without hesitation, because his level and look and it has to face.

UTILIZATION

Very simple. Plug and play.
No need for instructions.

SOUNDS

Warning this amp isn versatile in the sense that the sound is clear unusable group as not powerful enough.

So very rock sound is obtained. Big crunch powerful.

Personally I use it with the gain halfway:
It gives a powerful sound quite grainy with a nice grain british (but fairly typical)
(Must imperatively be tested before large volume purchase)

Ideal for the music I play in a group (90's rock) like "faith no more" smashing "coughed.
Perfect as pr punk rock to "bad religion" and also for the noize (Refused) or the stoner ..
After that will depend of the guitar but it works well with a humbucker or strat (playing the guitar volume.
0n can also be used for rock 70's also moderating the gain.

Beyond half the gain is going to distortion. C is not my thing but metaleux will find their account without problems.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not use it for a long time but I was immediately hooked to her.
It sounds terrible!
Honestly I was gone for a test orange AD30 (which sounds great too) but I did not like I found the smooth sound .. more mat. Not convinced ... In any case it does m apportai tiendr more than what I had in gear.

Before leaving I have asked (without much hope) àvessayer that I took for a toy .. This tt jim root.
after the test I have dropped to my preconceptions (related to metal design and the signature of the amp)
We can do many things with this amp as it's still rock.
Are not 50 sounds but if you like the grain is happiness.
Sounds very well with the cab jim root.
But i have tested it with my mesa 1x12 cab and it does it well too.
Therefore resumé good rock amp with good momentum, which readily accepts effects (od in frontage) more im a boycle effect.
For those who fear the 15 watts ... There's plenty to do for group play c is guaranteed!
I (and I had) a lot of amp (engl fireball, JCM900, peavey, Laboga)
This one I did not need it but it really put me on the ass (maybe it is made to go with my reverend daredevil? ..) Suddenly I broke down and I bought it. ..
Still, it is a bit expensive I think (I did not take the cab either)
I remake that choice because I have other amps for clean sounds.
This is a personal opinion but I prefer to 10fois engl fireball for example.
This is a very good surprise for me. But try before you buy with sonmatos.

Dynamic, powerful, amazing grain!

Tube amp format compact. Switch 7/15Watts very valuable, especially in an apartment. One channel very dynamic, just enough to highlight the good pedals.

UTILIZATION

Using very simple because of single channel. Conventional connections.

SOUNDS

Sound level, I'm on your ass! Not really a fan of nasty distortion, or even groups or Jim Root officiating, I really fell in love with this head. I had not even taken the step of at Orange, but this head has serious connotations English American. The grain is very friendly, the dynamic copy.

Following the attack can go from clean to crunch one very runny. It has a slightly more violent side my head Cornoford. The two combine for a great stereo configuration.

OVERALL OPINION

Nothing to say, it is a single head, cute and full of qualities.
The speaker Jim Root is also of very good quality.

An incredible value for money for all fans of rock and metal sounds.
