Head amp 30W (Pramper: 4 x ECC83. Power: 4 x EL84), operating in class A. A switch to the rear the beast means that only two lamps in Pramper 4 ', so to play in 15W. Another switch in the facade can "divide" the power by 2, so the amp can dlivrer 30W, 15W, 7.5W. In practice, my personal opinion is that it plays more the texture of the sound on the volume.
You can find the rear a socket for a footswitch (not included) and 3 outlets to plug in a cab (8ohms twice and one of 16)
No effects loop, no rverbe, taking guitar facade and go.
Ct rglages is very minimalist: Two channels, one channel and a Tiny Terror Fat Channel dlivrant sound fatter, more than his little brother pais. Both channels have their own equalizer: Tone, Volume, Gain. Nothing complicated is connected and ringing.

UTILIZATION

The setup is ultra-simple and the result is right now. No need manual for a.
Dual Terror is not a versatile amp, but if it was knowingly bought, so we can only worship him. It is for me a very good amp for its Brit-rock of the 70's.

SOUNDS

I play in a rock band, pop-rock, and the Dual Terror is like a fish in water. Branch office in Orange ppc212, I use it with very little effect: a CryBaby CGB-595, a Boss TU-2 tuner, a BBE Sonic Stomp, and an Electro-Harmonix LPB1.
I wanted for myself and the band sound very typ English rock of the 70's, a distortion and a bit grainy crunch sharp cutting: To do the Dual Terror is the ideal amp. The sound palette is very clear sounds correct (even if it is not his strong point), fairly round, through the crunch really excellent and very good overdrives a little fuzz. Players of metal, go your way. The absence of the medium rather potentiomtre rglant prevents digging the sound for the metal. Or so we add a pedal for a.
I play on a Total Natural Indie, and this guitar with the dual crunch of Terror gives me really amazing. We immediately want to throw an old riff from Led Zep!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year now, and I hesitating buying with an Orange AD30, dearest! The price made me opt for a Dual Terror choices I reconsidrerai today. Not for her, but for the quality workmanship & finish.
What I like most? Subject to technical know what you will, the Dual Terror may be the ideal amp. This is absolutely not a versatile amp, but what he does he does very well. For the Brit-rock of the 70's, is one of the best a fair price for a head lamp. The absence of effects loop does not hinder me too, I'm not a fanatic effects excess, and the amp as a state of mind rather vintage, and the loop rverbe I do not miss.
Even when a large BMOL: a head lamp Orange all below 1000 is necessarly manufactures in Asia. I find that lamps produce a lot of breath when strength really about winning. The welds are not very good quality also. I did it and resolder rewired by hand. This amp is its return deuxime workshop in one year. The first time to weld and therefore dfectueuses deuxime time, two power tubes HS! The Made in China, even with a specification Orange does not work miracles ...
Asian manufacturing makes me so hesitating. If I were to buy today, knowing I will say no and a few hundred dollars more to go a head AD30. Sounds and a state of mind quite similar, with more consquente equalizer, and a manufacturing irreproachable. But this dual Terror, what amp all the same!
Conclusion: Good sound quality but a little lgre, o my distrust No new heads for the Orange as the Thunder 30, which feels the full nose made in china!
