Orange Tiny Terror

Made in Korea, single channel, 3 knobs, etc. It has the three most important things you want in amp, tone, tone and tone. A lot of variety of tones in just three knobs. 15w/7w switch too. No reverb, no effects loop, no headphone jack, simplicity at its finest.

Great cleans, great mild OD, great heavy OD. Responds very well to dynamics and volume control. If you are into the classic British crunch and sounds of Hendrix, Allman Bothers, Cream, Zeppelin, Sabbath, early Judas Priest, this is the low wattage amp for you. I put a wah and a boost in front, and it gets all the sounds I need.
The sound is the all classic rock 'n roll.

This is my practice amp, and my backup to my MArshall Vintage Modern, but it is very solidly built and would be able to rely on the amp. Tubes are a different story, can be great one second and dead the next.

Not had to deal with them.

Incredible. If you are on the fence, get it. I would suggest trying to get a Korean made version if you can. If you don't like it, resale value is very good on eBay. But you will definitely like it. It is not meant for Nu Metal, detuned stuff, though with the right boost or OD in front, it could get you there.
Combine this with a good cab, and you got a great rig. Be wary of the chinese made PPC112, you are better off getting an Avatar cab.

Amp was made in 2007
It has 'the' sound I was after. I'd hate to say it's fairly designed for sound but with 3 nobs you can get a good variation. I'm a metal, psychedelic and jazz guy and more than happy with it. Especially with a couple pedals at hand. I've a strat I string with 13's and a humbucker and I can totally nail the Palm Springs sound on this tuning down to C. Super rad heavy big thick. But it can get it all.
Single Channel. Plug in, turn on, and GO.
I wish it,... um.... it's perfect as is, in the package it is. I mean it's a focused amp. I never use the 15 watt setting in my apartment. I use it in parks to scare wildlife, children and the elderly (j/k). It's pretty loud.
It's prefect for everything but big venues.
4 Tubes, can have the wattage cut in half. I mean for what it is meant to do it's 10/10. Don't hit a sponge with a hammer, it's not the right tool.

I have a handful of guitars, a frankenstein strat for Kyuss stuff, a PRS for 'everything' a 79 strat for Ghost Reveries tunings.
I totally suits my style. With the box of pedals there isn't a tone I can't get, that I want. I have a metal pedal for the extra uglyness. For jazz it will slay anything else except it'll be hard to do really clean loud. But who cares about that. Stop being a pretentious jerk and just play right. There is nothing flat about it's tone.
It's not noisy but if you put it all the way up it's got a bit of fry I guess? Hard to say.
It would not get clean loud. I heard a guy hot rodded his to get a bit more loud clean but meh. Suits me fine.
The distortion is Kyuss right, and not for metal extremists. However the bottom is so big, if you take a metal pedal, roll back the tone on the amp you can get a really big nasty ugly metal tone.

Not even a year old. i would take it anywhere.
Um,.. too new.

I have never e-mailed the company. I got it at L&M and they aren't so hot on customer service so,... take you chances.
No clue on how long the warranty is but since it's made in the UK I expect it to last. It's more sturdy than an SUV so I'm not worried.

I've been playing it for 8 or 9 months and love it. I own a Mark IIC+ which is more punchy and louder and has,... better tone quality but not the round bottom this has. plus this has no reverb but I've a slap back pedal.
I love that it's the big round huge low end cusp of bass and bottom I've been after and not a flat sound. it's so nice and rich and round and lush I love it.
Asking for something to be different would make it loose it's character. It's perfect for what it is/does. anything else would change what it is and I can do more with a pedal or two and finding the right tone.
I blows any fender out of the water. If i didn't own a Mesa already I'd never pick and orange over a mesa for just,.. options 'overall'. but this orange does what I was after perfectly. I chose it cause it rawks and I read good reviews and played it. w/ a 15" closed back it's low end will cause people to run in fear.
If you want the Palm Springs tone look no further. Plus since it's a head/cab setup I can run it into something silly like a stack of marshal cabs.

First series korean made. Great PORTABLE amp. Suprisingly LOUD! Cons: No clean headroom. No FX loop. No reverb. One channel. One tone knob. It`s main feature is simply astonishing TONE and AAA QUALITY COMPONENTS!

Pure rock`n`roll beast. Not quite Marshall replacement - this thing defines its own territory. It brings awesome tone without you going deaf...

It`s amazing what you can get from this amp. It takes time, knowlegde and good ear to get it reveal full potential. And lots of trial and error. Everything counts in signal path. Sorry, no points here, each of us wants to have his own tone right?

You will hear some people say it has simple circiut or it`s overpriced. Trust your ears. Or your audience ears at least.

About year of use, 100% reliable.

Missing manual from orange but all information is there on internet.

Playing 8 years. I would buy it again hands down. If you need more features, you have to pay a bit more. For louder, more versatile amp I would get Rivera Quiana... sorry Orange fans ;)

Korea made. One volume, one tone, and one gain knob. An on/off switch and a 7-watt/stand-by/15-watt switch. 3 speaker outputs on back to let you use a 16, 8 or two 16 ohms cabs. I missed separate bass and treble tone knobs and an effects loop.

Using Gibson Les Paul Classic with Antiquity pickups and stock G&L Legacy. There is a wide variety of tones to be had by adjusting the volume and gain knobs, not to mention the wattage switch. 7 watts is a little darker and crunchier, 15 watts more chimey. This amp is great for everything from bedroom jamming to small club gigs. At low volumes it will go from a pretty lively and dynamic clean to metal tones, with middle-of-the-road, AC/DC tones being this amp's sweet spot. Does this better than any amp or pedal I've played before. Nice harmonics and clipping at this setting. At louder volumes (volume and gain cranked), this amp has wonderful response to guitar volume knob, cleaning up well, and is a great blues and rocknroll amp.
Downsides: The distortion sounds kind of fizzy at lower volumes. The tone knob leaves you with pretty much one flavor or color of tone, making this amp very dependent on speaker selection to get what you want out of it. I ended up using a closed-back 1x12 with a Celestion V30 that tamed the high end sizzle or fizziness, tightened up the bass some, and brought out the best of this amps character.
I ended up selling this amp after acquiring a Budda SD 18 II. Compared to the Budda, using a variety of speakers with both amps, the Tiny Terror had less going on in the clean channel, not as lively, not as much sustain, not as pretty. The drive channel was fizzy compared to the Budda's smooth and crunchy bite. After hours of playing, it seemed that the TT had less presence than the Budda, but at other times seemed like it cut through better, so I'll call them even there. Two things the Tiny Terror did better: AC/DC barely broken-up tones and it was dead silent on all settings, where the Budda has some underlying hum.

Had it for several months, only got to play it loud a handful of times. Took a peak inside and it's a very well put together amp. I feel this amp can take lots of abuse no problem.

Don't know.

For the money, hard to beat if you're looking for the early AC/DC tone. I miss it. It has some mojo about it for sure. A vox ac15cc might be a better buy for the money, but the reliability of those amps are so questionable that I'm afraid to take one home. The TT retired my Peavey Classic 30, a good amp. The TT is more lively and has more harmonics.
A cute package with it's own gig bag, doing what it does better than any other amp I've played, definitely one to have if you can afford to have more than one, and may be that one if you don't have to run delay or other effects post distortion, and don't require a variety of tone. Grab one and paint your world Orange for a while. You won't regret it.

SOOOOO.... I JUST BOUGHT A HOTROD DEVILE 212 USED FOR LIKE 675 IN MINT CONDISH, I GUESS I UNDERESTIMATED THE LOUDNESS FACTOR, SOO I WAS WONDERING IF I SHOULD TRADE IN MY DEVILLE FOR THE TINY TERROR SOMTHING MORE LESS LOUD, AND ITS CLASS A PRETTY SWEET MAN. BUT THEN AGAIN I WOULD HAVE TO BY A NICE REVERB PEDAL FOR THE ORANGE. SOO YA IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGESTIONS JUST SAY.

This is 2008 China made Tiny Terror Class A tube amp. The features are very simple and basic (which is GOOD). One input channel. Three EQ knobs = volume/tone/gain. A three way output switch 15w/stand by/7 watt. A power switch. Three speaker outputs = one 16 oms / two 8 oms. 2 EL84 power tubes - 2 12Ax7/ecc83 preamp tubes. One power cord and a gig bag with an extra pocket to keep speaker cables and power cord ( I love this bag!) This amp is light weight enough to carry anywhere!

I do miss having a bass/mid/treble EQ - that would make it more versatile and I never use the 7watt output.

I have had this amp for almost a year. The tone from this small beast is amazing. The 2 EL 84s get a bright crunch or warm thick fuzz. When you spend a enough time with it you can really get a great sound. For my band's style this amp is great - a experimental noise rock outfit - think skullflower/stooges/sabbath meets Sun Ra. I have two guitars, a 1983 USA fender telecaster and an older model Epiphone Les Paul standard. Both sound great through this amp - but very differnt. (My effects are: MXR Dyna comp/Vox v847 Wah/EH LPB-1/EH Big Muff/ EH Small Clone/ Digitech PDS 1002 2 sec digital delay.)

The Tele gets a great rock sound like the MC5 or classic British rock like Yardbirds, etc. - the single coils are more noisy with this amp than other amps I played it through. That's due to all the gain it produces. The TT has big time distortion - no need for a pedal if your the purist type. The Epiphone Les Paul gets a great thick sound, lots of sustain and wonderful feedback. If you like Doom/Sludge metal or old school hard rock you'll love this amp. A Gibson would sound awesome through it!

The T.T. is really not that noisy, even when Gain is all the way up - but there is noise especially when using pedals. You don't get spanking clean tones with this amp - there is alway some bite to it - so jazz is out! This is a rock amp.

This amp is loud and would work in most gig situations. If you mike it it will be fine. I use a CARVIN V410T Bass cab with the T.T. and its really loud. I DO NOT recommend the Orange 1x12 Cab that everyone says you should pair it with. I didn't feel the sound was that great and the price was to high. Try out other cabs to find the sound and price thats right for you. But if you want, melt your face, ear bleeding loud buy a 100 watt amp and a full stack or two - oh, and have at least $4000.00 to buy this wet dream rock star rig - that you'll never get to play - because you don't play stadiums - because if your reading this your NOT a rock star.

If you are a working musician, playing bars and clubs buy this amp, save 3 grand (and the back ache), and you'll be happy.

This amp is built well. Very solid. I don't use a back up because I don't have one - but I am not that worried.

This amp hasn't broken down yet - BUT I did owe a Tiny Terror before this one that had problems -see below.

This is a long story but if your curious about Orange customer service read on. I bought a new Koren made T.T. last summer. In just three months it had some problems. It was cutting out at high volume and gain. I used the Orange forum first but eventually contacted Orange,USA. Their tech had me try some tests at home first, with no luck. I sent it back to them using my warranty. YOU MUST REGISTER ONLINE FOR THIS! He said he could not find anything wrong with it after having it for a week. He re-soldered the wiring and went through it twice - tested it and felt it was fine - he felt there was a problem else where in my rig. I had it back for one week and it died - no signal at all. So, Orange let me use my own Amp tech locally. This tech said it was a bad power tube which blew the fuse. He replaced them both and Orange paid the labor - but did not pay for the tubes - they sent two new Orange stock EL84's. OK, another three weeks go by then the amps dies again! I was about to loose it and thought that the Tiny Terror was JUNK! I called Orange and the tech was very understanding and with out a hesitation said they would replace the amp with a brand new one! I sent it back and in two weeks received a straight out of the box brand new Tiny Terror AND it sounds even better than my old one. I have had no problems since and its been four months.

I have been playing for 27 years. I have been through more guitars than amps. But this amp is as good or better than most of what I have played through. If it were stolen and I had only $500.00 I would buy it again.
I love it's tone and everyone that hears it falls in love with it. More than one of my guitarist friends mentioned they want one after hearing it. It is a big plus that its light and easy to take to gigs and practice. I wouldn't mind more wattage and a full EQ. I am going to get an other tube amp (an Orange AD30 head or an old Sound City L120) but I would still use the Tiny Terror for practice and as a back up - for now I am very happy with my sound.

Year:
2007-2008
Versatile for my styles:
The amp is as versatile as what i play through it. Not much more. I would say, for an amp with one switch and 3 nobs, it is very versatile
Channels and Features:
This amp is very basic. It switches between 7 and 15 watts. It has no effects loop. And only volume, gain and tone control.

Guitar and Pickups:
I use a Gibson Les Paul with 490R and 498L humbuckers
Matching my style:
I play a large variation of styles, It doesn't work for everything, but its got some pure, organic tube tone.
Noise:
This is as quiet as the tubes you have in it and the pickups and wiring in your guitar.
Variety of Tones:
Like I said, this amp is as versatile as the pedals you put in front of it and your guitar.
Clean:
The clean tones are great, It lacks a bit of clarity, but it is warm and organic. You have to turn the gain up to slight overdrive, if your playing with a really loud drummer. I wish there was an effects loop so i could put some reverb delay in there without getting muddy tones.
Overive:
This amp overdrives beautifully with Overdrive pedals, i would crank the gain up for overdrive if there was an effects loop to put my reverb and delay in. The basic overdrive sounds great. I wish i could eq it though.

Dependability:
I would probably not use this for most gigs, except for small coffee houses and such due to the wattage. I would like to have a backup.
Broken Before:
I got a used one at a music store and the fuze blew as soon as i cranked it to high volume. Fortunatly, I took it back and they sent me out with a new one! I am not fully dependant on this amp, but i love it.

I have never dealt with Orange, and I never looked at the warranty.

How long I've been playing:
I have been playing 5 years, and was classically trained on piano for 9. I have a backround of music.
Gear I own:
I have a Gibson Les Paul and a Mesa 1x12 cab, Mashall 2x12 cab, Marshall 1987xl Plexi and a handful of pedals. I've owned over 15 amps, so I've had lots of experiance.
Lost or Stolen Replacement:
I would get another one if it was lost or stolen if I had money and there was nothing a really wanted in my budget
Likes/Dislikes:
I love the classic tube tones you can get out of it. I don't like that it is very limited in features, I would be completely happy if it had an effects loop, so i could put reverb, delay and an eq.
Comparison to other products:
I have played a number of low wattage amps and the only one i thought was worthy of compairing was the THD, which is a lot more money than i paid for this thing.
Wish it had:
An Eq and effects loop.
Overall:
Overall i think this a great studio amp for its raw organic tube tones. It is great for little coffee shops to, but this pup needs some more power for nice loud drummers.

As Outlined below- three knobs and the truth! Switchable 15/7w output. More speaker outputs than I need, a great carry-bag thrown in... What's not to like? VAST amount of tones avaliable from this lovely wee box. I could bicker about a lack of this or that, but it would be a bit like moaning that "I can't off-road in this sports car". Horses for courses!

For many years I played a Marshall 2203 with the volume set below 1. Then I went through several 'bedroom' amps trying to get a decent tone (to no avail). I traded a Peavey Wiggy for the TT, which was a great amp, but I still relied on FX for drive. The TT is so perfect I want to paint it. I play a Les Paul, stick the volume on 2, the drive on 9 and I'm in heaven. I'm fairly sure it's psychic- it seems to know which notes to sustain forever and which ones to feedback. Have started trying pedals with it. Big Muff: keep the gain low and the volume high and you'll be smiling! After an MXR boost next...! Playing through an Orange 1x12. God I love this thing!

Not gigged it yet, but it appears pretty bombproof. Struggling to tell the difference between Orange UK/Orange China to be honest. This is not a 'cheap' Orange. This is an amp that is as good as any boutique amp I've played -probably better, given it costs ten times less and sounds this good! Not swopped any valves (tubes) yet, but am looking forward to playing about with them! A friend of mine just finished his last UK tour, using only a TT, with no problems. Before this he was using an M.B. Triple Rectifier for 6 years. 'Nuff said...

Only dealings I've had involved a stupid Ohms question via email. I had an answer within the hour. Can't fault that!

Minor niggle - Amp doesn't come with any kind of manual. Most folks won't need one for so simple an amp (which is probably the logic behind the decision), But I hate to think of someone buying their first valve amp on a Saturday afternoon, setting up and turning on without plugging a speaker in.... and blowing the fuse (We've all done it!). ...Be a crap Sunday, wouldn't it? Come on Orange- a wee book please!

I'm that bloke who was in several bands 15 years ago, who is now 34 and in the 'too young to be in a blues band/too old to be in a punk band' wasteland. I content myself by playing huge chords through a FANTASTIC amp at home. Trust me, this amp will put a HUGE smile on your face. Only downside to owning the TT is that you'll spend the first 3 months playing nothing but AC/DC. If you think you can handle that- fill your boots!

My TT is a China model, probably from 2007. It's very simple (15/7W, volume, treblecut, gain), which is just what I was looking for: just me my guitar and a great sounding amp, no configuration and dialing in hundreds of settings. One major plus point is the portability, I can carry it between home and my band room, and play it in both places. The controls are responsive.

I use an Epiphone Les Paul standard, and to my ears the combination with the TT sounds great (but then my previous amp was a roland cube15). I play alternative rock (whatever that means) and some simple, clean stuff (kaki king style), and I'm loving the sounds I get out of the TT. Clean with a bit of grit and overdriven sound great, the way distorted sounds with the gain and volume all the way up I find to "fuzzy". The TT really brings out the nuances of my guitar, the sound is very different depending on which pick-ups i'm using (compared to the roland cube15).

The construction is absolutely unbelievable, I am simply amazed! I was running to catch a train with my band with the TT in the carry-bag over my shoulder when the strap ripped on the bag (ok, so the bag isn't that great; the amp is still pretty heavy, despite its size). The amp fell from waist height in full stride and rolled for a couple of meters. I thought it was gone for sure, the transformers now lean like the tower of pisa and there's a couple scratches on the covering and the handle... but it still plays just fine!

No dealings the the company.

pros: great performance/price ratio, very portable, great sound.
cons: limited versatility, no effects-loop, only one channel.

All in all I love it, and I think I would have bought it again if it would have broken on the fall.

not much to say here! volume tone and gain. you prity much just turn it on and good sounds come out, the only thing i would add would be an fx loop so a reverb or delay pedal could be used to give it a bit of dimension

i use a strat with a hot rails in the bridge through the terror into a marshall quad box and i dont quite understand how a little white box can achieve the tones and volume that it does! mind boggling. i play in a cover band doing mainly rock and a bit of country, sometimes a little bit of original stuff too. most days i like to think i can shred cos thats what im into and for those of you wondering YES this amp does sound great for that! really good for brett garsed fusion sort of music. theres enough gain on tap for early metallica type stufftoo but you cant scoop the mid range out so it wouldnt quite suit the modern stuff. the clean sounds great for country or jazz and as you turn up the gain the tt shows that it could lend it self to just about any style. it has a beautifull mid range response and wonderfull harmonics, it just feels like the amp is working with you all the time and reacts to your playing the way you want it to

nothing wrong yet but from what iv read on the orange forum there isnt too much call for concern here

havnt dealt with them so far

iv been playing for about 12 years now, owned a few different amps allong the way, at the moment iv got a jcm900, an engl thunder, valve king and a rack set up with an ada mp1. the tiny terror is the closest thing to "the sound in my head" that iv ever played through and im even considering buying another one and running them both through the marshall cab in sterio for the bigger gigs. i couldnt quite give it a 10 because i dont think its going to be loude enouge for the out door gigs that we do but the idea previously mentioned may fix that!
