All user reviews of 4/5 for the Orange Dual Terror

Dual Terror is a 2-channel amplifier of type Class A.
It benefits from 4 lamps to the ECC83 preamp and 4 EL34 tubes for power.
The power of the amplifier is splittable into 7, 15 or 30 watts.
It y '3 speaker outputs, two 8 ohm and 1 of 16 ohm. A jack for the channel switcher and channel Tiny Fat.
There is no effects loop.
It is manufactured in China.

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the amplifier could not be simpler, for each of the two channels we have 3 pots, gain, tone and volume.
To this is added, slamming the big switch.
The former are on the front. From left to right we have the classic "On / Off" switch comes after "Full (15 or 30 watts) / Standby / Half (7 or 15 watts)" Then, at the extreme right of the head we the selector of channels and finally on the back of the head we have a switch that activates either 2 or 4 power tubes.

The manual does not exist, but frankly not necessary, here we are in the category plug and play, you plug it plays, it sounds!

And little more Gig Bag, super convenient!

SOUNDS

I play in Group Power Rock, the dual feel so "at home"
I think for the blues, and jazz, it can do so, the amp is very versatile, I even want to test it in my group of brutal death with a guitar emg if granted, I think that can give something interesting.

Let's go to my current setup:

Fender Telecaster Baja config Seymour STK3 + Electro Harmonix Black Finger Terror 4 + Dual x12 Hughes and Kettner with Celestion V30

Tiny on channel:

Well, it's tiny and better, as the amp is more powerful, was more reserved before cruncher, you can claim a real clear sound at high volume.
It's warm, round and very dynamic, the receiver reacts hugely to attack, I love it!
However, a lover of Fender change its crystalline way.
For the rest, you refer to the opinions of Tiny Terror!

Fat on the channel:

So the tiny boost, I personally do not like the turn that takes the distortion after 14h on Knob gain, the sound gets pretty messy, but it is a matter of perspective, if you like distos type fuzz, I think you'll like it.
For my part, as I said above I use it set to 14h, it gives us approximately the distortion found on the tiny channel when pushed to the bottom with a little more body.
For solos, I slightly inflated my sound with a compressor Electroharmonix black finger, and there, with dose sustain more, it's totally magical!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now for 1 week.
I played a lot of time on high gain amps (Marshall JCM 2000, Peavey 5150, ENGL Powerball), I wanted to return to a more "roots" more rock with a more limited power to qualify for the potato from the lamps.
Until now the style amps Tiny Terror, Night Train, Rebel 20, does not allow for a real clean sound at high volume and well with the Dual and the 30 watts is now possible.

The absence of effects loop, yet does not bother me more than that, but when I think about investing in a real delay pedal, certainly I will bring the head in a tech to do the edit.

I find excellent value for money, 622 euros in general for an amp of this quality, do not hesitate!

I do not have enough perspective on the product to say whether I would do this choice, but what is certain is that it suits me perfectly for the moment.

Amplifiers Class A 30 watt lamps. Level connection is nothing more basic "Input", "Foot Switch", and two outputs 8ohms and 16ohms
Effects?, What effects?


UTILIZATION

Can no longer simple: Gain / Tone / Volume and two different switches to switch to 30/15/7 watts
It is in the range of Plug & Play "no need to touch a 35 buttons to get a good sound, you can go from a clean sound has a more than correct his wish was crunchy.
The manual? Not even need my 4 year nephew arrives at settlement.

SOUNDS

So I play a pumped on grunge bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Pixies, Sonic Youth etc. ...
I play on a Squier Telecaster custom fitted with two seymour duncan (Phat Cat and SH5) and I must admit that the sound suits me perfectly, despite a perfect time distortion. I also play on Ibanez JTK and there I was totally amazed by the sound it has reached out. I do not put any effect on the amp, although I think investing a little reverb.
I play on the clean channel Tiny, we say the middle volume, and the tone with the gain set to a quarter. When the channel is the reverse Fat I push the gain near maximum volume through the quarter with the tone in the middle.
Actually I pushed the buttons a little in every sense and I have not yet found a sound that I dislike?

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now since the beginning of the month and I'm not disappointed, the price / quality ratio is excellent. I had the opportunity to try a home Marshall JCM900 and a Blackheart 50 watt All Tube. And I confess that far outperforms the Dual. However, the sound tends to be somewhat shy and very quickly becomes crunchy clean if we push the watts. Attention has therefore those seeking crystal clear fender, where a distortion worthy of the old Marshall amps.
The Dual Terror is more like a big distortion pedal.
That said I would do without this choice problem and therefore has advised those looking for a head lamps all (well all lamps on paper) for a price not too excessive.
