All user reviews of 5/5 for the Orange Dark Terror

All-tube amp with 7- or 15-watt switch.

UTILIZATION

It couldn't be easier.
1 volume control
1 tone control
1 gain control
The hardest is to choose between the 8- and 16-Ohm outputs and the effects loop.

SOUNDS

I play a Gibson SGJ 2013, a ToneLab ST and a Palmer cab with 2 Celestion V30s (PCAB212V30). Together, this setup give me all the sounds I want.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it since June 2013. I used to have a MustangII before, but it can't come even close to this amp head. Moreover, I didn't know why I had so many problems with my settings. Was it the Mustang? The Tonelab? Now I have no problems.

Having more "guitar" experience, I should have started with this amp. But if we knew everything in advance...

In terms of money, the quality will make you forget the price.

Everything has been said!

UTILIZATION

Use single utra

SOUNDS

I made you an overview of the Shape button with a microphone EMG 81 on a jackson warrior

Gain at 75%.

The sound is a bit dull because it is a crude microphone jack, before a cabinet OUR 112 V30

Make up your mind!

OVERALL OPINION

I intend to buy one soon! because I'm going to make one I was its owner!

This is an amplification tube. A small switch selects the power (15 watts or 7).
To summarize the connections, we can say "plug and play". It's pretty much it.
Level settings and effects etc, it's still basic, the direct. A volume knob and a gain of a shape.

UTILIZATION

The use is probably the main strong point of this little head. 3 buttons and it rolls. A master volume knob, a gain knob and a button shape. Little more for it because our settings by fiddling you can really get his sound.
Conclusion, even a penguin wearing mittens succeed in having fun for hours to find his sound!

SOUNDS

I play everything. It ranges from blues to metal passing through the rock and shred. It's simple, with this head, I can do anything! Just really tweak the settings and listen. The resulting sounds can be bold but well incisive. Well, on the other hand to play clean is more difficult, it slams but it's still very much correct. I use it with a guitar equipped with Seymour Duncan, the amp clearly illustrate the character of each microphone.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for nine months and I am really overwhelmed. At first, I had gone to buy a Marshall. But after trying various Marshall I thought the sound lacked soul and identity. I saw this little head in a corner and I thought "hey it looks nice and simple this little thing." I plugged in, and miraculously! I found my partner! Even now it still amazes me because with just two buttons, the possibilities are "endless". So this is main feature of any power play. In terms of value, it is nikel. It has a small head with good design and that sounds perfectly fine. It comes with a super-Gig Bag which protects it in all my travels.
With experience, of course I will ever did!!

Everything has already been said, but hey, it's a whole lamp, 15/7W. eglages volume, EQ and gain shape. HP outputs in 8 and 16 ohm.

I just put 8 because I will not spit on a little reverb, but that price should not dream.

UTILIZATION

Difficult to get any easier in my opinion! One branch, we chose a gain level, adjusting the volume, and we play! The sound does not fit? A button a little button shape, pretty magical to me, and off you go.
Shape for the button, which serves as EQ, it acts on the medium. To be nice, we go to a rock sound, with many mediums present, has a more modern sound, say metal mediums with very reduced.

9 because nothing is perfect in my opinion

SOUNDS

Guitar: Fender Jim Root signature, EMG 60 neck, 81 bridge.
I rather play metal and hard rock, which made me choose this head, and I am fully satisfied. The reserve gain is huge, and I very rarely exceeds 14h. With the EMG 81, I get huge saturation, and the sound fits very well with the shape. With 60, while kissing the gain, there are ways to have a much more rounded.
Only downside, there is a little breath if you really gain rises above 15/16h, but must be easily removed with a noise gate, which I have not made, being given that I do not ride the gain up to that level, but I will do soon, and I will publish at this time.
I tested a few hours in "group", with another guitar (with a Peavey Vypyr 15), a bass and drums (which not hit too hard), and 15W are largements enough. After, never played at the same time as another guitar amplifier tubes.

8, because of the breath has too much gain

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 9 months, and I'm still very happy. I chose it because I've tried the tiny terror of the same brand, and I loved the sound. The dark terror is similar with more gain, it seemed natural to choose, and I do not regret it.
What I love? Well I want to say all that tonight legain huge, or the shape that allows an infinite number of sounds or almost.
What I like least, and well that price, we have a great sound, 15W, and of course quality, so not much to say.
The value for money seems corrert, and I will ever experience with this choice, and I advised a friend who has the same need as me, namely passing lamps, with a large reserve of gain, any adjustment simple (you do not spend 2 hours to find a good sound), and a power not too enormous.

Orange Dark Terror head, full tube, 15/7watt switchable, 1 Channel, 3 x ECC83 preamp tubes, 2 x EL 84 power amp tubes thomann, controls for gain, tone and volume controls, with a tube buffered effectloop x ECC83 tube, speaker outputs 2 x 1 x 8 Ohm and 16 Ohm

UTILIZATION

Very simple setup, plug and play what!

1 volume knob, a knob for EQ, one knob for gain ..

me the cover looks pretty sturdy, ideal for transport by repeating, or in concert!

SOUNDS

I play in a style rather rock / hardcore, but I sometimes play a little bit of everything in the register of contemporary music ..

Two channels would have been perfect, but good considering the size and price, we will not ask too much: p!

The gain knob is doing relatively well, a 2 / 3 was a slightly orange crunch has, 5 sound good rock, a 7 / 8 a sound that hurt the teeth (there is a slight hiss, but with a small noise gate is set

I play with a Telecaster Mexican, equipped with a Di Marzio D Activator X, and a microphone maker signed Jerome Dussenne typed old school TV (config has a roughly 5 John ^ ^)

and frankly, it sounds!

OVERALL OPINION

I waited another week history of having plenty of time to test it before posting an opinion, and I'm really happy

in my home studio, she sits on my 6505 +, a Mesa 2x12 cabinet.

it's really the config I was looking, I am very happy!

I highly recommend it to fans of the Orange a little upset!
