The circuitry seems to be well finished except for some components that are a bit crooked or not very straight, nothing that may be a deal-breaker, and also, I suppose that depends on the specific model you get. Usage and Features

If we remove the screws from the top of the amp body, we find the valve dome exposed and some breathing vents. Inside, there is the preamp valve. It comes standard with a JJ ECC83S. The knobs are simple, the volume is highly sensitive, and it goes to say that for at-home use, dialing a clean will not exceed mid-settings, and with the maximum gain will not rise much more than six.

Oh no! Why did I get blocked?

Its 20 watts can drive a 4×12 at a volume sufficient for virtually any scenario, so I think you’re not going to fall short on power, but then again, it depends on what you mix it with. The Orange Micro Terror is a tiny Tiny head with a huge tone. The Micro Terror is a global phenomenon; with Tiny Terror inspiration, this miniature reincarnation couples a valve preamp, which brings enormous tones that have nothing to do with its compact and delicate size. The Orange PPC 108 is as tiny a guitar-box as you will find. If it wasn´t for it´s rich orange color and the nice "old-school" decals, no one would even care to take a look at it. Overall the sound of this amplifier is good, but if we take into account that it costs about 140 euros at the moment, then the sound is very good. I’m happy to say it’s not a toy, even though it may look like one. It has the Orange tone well achieved.

Most retailers, including Thomann, sell them both as a bundle, which comes out to just over 200€. From the sturdiness of the construction (which was already assumed considering the brand) to the sound quality (likewise) and even the special touch that the eight inches give it, this is a creamy sounding cabinet in most conditions. Weighing in at less than 1 kilo, the Orange Micro Terror is possibly the most portable amp on the market. When combined with its Orange PPC108 display, the Micro Terror’s Aux input and headphone output make it a perfect practice companion, small, and ideal for transporting. The Micro Terror is not an amp that is particularly known for having a lot of knobs or potentiometers. It is a very simple head that can be used immediately. On the front panel, from left to right, there is the ON/OFF switch with its respective yellow LED on top of the lever. Generally when calculating the effective area of a speaker, you take the square root of the number of speakers and multiply it by the (average) size. That comes out at roughly 12 inch for 2 8s. 2 10s would have the bass response in theory of a 15". It depends entirely on the speaker of course, even small speakers can be designed to be really bassy, for example in monitors. There are also digital reverb and traditional tremolo effects onboard, providing you with the ability to add another dimension to your sound.On top of that, the cost of the amp plus the baffle is only 25% more than a good delay pedal. So, both cosmetically and sonically, the Orange Micro Terror is a winner by any measure. The tone is equally sensitive, regulates bass, mid and treble with just this knob, just like the tone knob on the guitar. It plays with a large palette of sounds, and varying it just a few millimeters affects the tone noticeably. Weighing in at under 1 kilo, the Micro Terror is arguably the most portable amp head on the market. When paired with its matching PPC108 cabinet, the Micro Terror’s Aux Input and Headphone output make it a perfect practice partner, small enough for even the most cluttered sideboard. The fact it combines so well with the PPC 108 also gives you peace of mind knowing that it has a cab intended for getting all that orange juice. (how is this the first time I’ve said that?). Far from being a practice guitar amp, in this Orange Micro Terror Amp Review, we’ll see how this new Orange head can hold itself comfortably at rehearsal, studio, or stage.

The depth and volume that this little thing puts out is truly amazing, with an orange growl and bite in excess. In addition, the Micro Terror can be used with any 8-16 Ohm Speaker. This curious little piece is a good amp to let rip your guitar skills at home, cheap, and with exceptional portability. Its sound is really up to the level of much more expensive amps, but the few equalization options play against it. I would bet that if you listen to it without knowing what amp it is, you would think it is a higher-end amp. Vox MSB25 Mini Superbeetle The biggest pro is the sound. For god’s sake, the sound is as creamy as you can get for around 200€. Don’t be fooled by looks because size is the only thing small about this electric guitar head. With a high tensile strength steel housing, the Orange Micro Terror is built to the same Orange standards as the rest of the Terror family and features a single ECC83 valve.Problem is, that although it is a thing of beauty and built up to high Orange standards, including a wooden cabinet and solid edge-protectors, it´s sound leaves a bit to be desired - and therefore may not be looked at for it´s acoustic perfomance, I´m afraid... Orange have built up a reputation of building some of the worlds best sounding and rugged cabinets that can be found all around the world. This cabinet may be a lot smaller but it still has the same high attention to detail and quality sound as its bigger brothers. Here's what Orange say about the Micro Dark 1x8 Cabinet It is worth mentioning that the power supply cable and transformer of the amplifier do not have high quality or durable feel, although you can always buy another in the future without it being a big fuss. From a broad perspective, the construction is good. We are presented with a well-painted and silkscreened metal chassis for lovers of Orange and specifically of the Terror series; this enlarger will seem a very, very nice toy. Kemper has opted for a passive system that can work as a flat response speaker or transform like a chameleon into different loudspeakers responding to the simulations or profiles generated from the Kemper Profiler.
