Published on 07/08/11 at 12:09This is a great little amp but it is made in China which is a big let down. Well this amp is the two channel version of the regular tiny terror. You get the same tone and everything but just an added channel.
For the size of a lunch box this little amp pacts quite a kick to it. This amp looks like something you would walk to school with and be carrying your peanut butter sandwich in. Orange has taken such a small but positive approach to lunch box style amplifiers. There seems to be a trend going on with manufacturers hitting a market that seems like a good entry way into their flagship amplifiers.
The amp has that familiar British grind that you found in the 60's and 70's went they were the leaders in getting high gain sustain from their guitar rigs. This little box does what a full stack can do in a pint size proportion. It sounds fantastic and gets chewier and smoother as you hit it harder with more volume.

SOUNDS
Though the Orange amps have a familiar British flavor to them I think that anyone would be surprised at how big and bold the tone is from this small box. Though is is rated at only 15 watts it gets quite loud and will accompany most small clubs or gigging situations quite nicely. Is sounds as huge tonal wise as any of the larger more frequented amps that Orange makes. With the adds second channel you can get a good clean tone and switch over to the distortion channel.
Try this guitar out with a Les Paul and you be pleasantly surprised out how meaty the tone is from simply a Gain, Tone, and Volume knob. This thing can be dropped down to a 7 watt operation for home use or even recording. It sounds great in either setting you have.
OVERALL OPINION
At new these amps come in at around $899. Sort of expensive for a China amp in my opinion. I would recommend getting a Peavey made in the US before spending the money on this amp. If you save a few hundred more you can get a real Orange amp made in the UK.
