Omg thank you for this demo! It's so good to find a demo where there isn't some old guy playing blues, this is a really great review aswell as the others, i've subbed!
Hey guys, I've been watching your videos for just over a year now, and enjoy what you offer on your channel. The only gripe I have is that for your amp reviews, the sounds are a little 'misleading', or maybe not 'totally honest'. First off, show us the AMP tone! everyone knows what a tube screamer does! Second, your guitar clips are al double tracked, are they mixed any further with eq, compression? You just give off less of a 'true, raw, amp-tone', and a bit more of "semi-produced/ mixed" tone
4 min to warm up, seems like a lot. Great video guys. I like the Orange sound. I think their cabs are over rated, you could get great tone out of an avatar or a Whitebox cab with the same v-30 speakers. Keep those vids coming. What do you think about a AT-4040 microphone for recording a acoustic guitar?
it doesn't have fx loop, is there any similar amp to that one? i would like to buy it, would you recommend to put delay and revere on the chain going to the preamp?
@zethca Any riff or song you hear in any of our videos was written by us since we can't use copyrighted material in our videos. Unfortunately there are no tabs for our riffs because we both despise writing tabs. We're considering doing a video in the future showing how to play all the riffs in this video, but it may be a while before that is done.

definitely the best review. The proguitarshop one is good but has no metal tones. Finally someone realizes we don't want to hear you showing off your cliche blues-rock shredding! *cough* guitarworld.
@1148bucknasty Thanks, we're glad you enjoyed the video. This is one of the reasons we like reviewing amps, and cabs. Not many reviews pay any attention to metal tones, and the few that do aren't very metal sounding at all. We try to provide a little bit of everything, but we're primarily metal guitarists. We'd like to review many more amps, but it's hard to find many company's willing to send us one for review.
@asmithgdci Thanks! The Tube Screamer is an Ibanez TS7, and no there aren't any other effects added except for the solo in the last clip which had some delay added to it in Pro Tools after being recorded.
@mrstillarookie YES. YES. Dude, the tone is SO good, when you turn the gain on max, you won't WANT anymore anyways. It goes into very steep rock territory, TOTALLY metal can be done with this thing man. Reccomend it for any heavy music dude.
realy good review!! im impressed of what this amp can do!!! let me ask u tho... did u crank up the volume like crazy?? it is a loud amp?? cuz im thinking of getting it for recording! i have a marshall half stack but i cant realy record with it cuz if i crank it up its way to loud and my neighbours hate me XD so if this tiny amp is able to record with a good volume and get a FULL sound at the same time? if yess!! it would be perfect!
@TheMusicDude1997 thx dude!! i made my choice ima get this thing!:P and finaly be able to record a real good tube amp with a fuller sound without having to deal with the ppl in my bulding XD
Although I have a sympathy towards Orange and an interest in lunchbox-sized amps, I can't accept an amplifier without a 3 band EQ for each channel and maybe I'm an old-fashioned guy but I prefer to have 1 decent clean and 1 decent overdrive channel instead of 2 different sounding channels which try to do both and forces me to choose one to use for cleans. On another note, Limitless Studios did an amazing job on reviewing an amp as Orange suggested on their newsletter which should be a standard..
would a 10-band EQ pedal do the trick if you were to play metal or any hard stuff? or so you need that extra umph to pronounce the sound? perhaps puttin JJ's as tubes instead?
@TheIranxican jj's wont do a lot gain wise, will sound excellent though. the best way to get an amp like this into metal territory is to overdrive usually with a tubescreamer or some other od pedal
how do you guys get such a tight and clean sound yet still maintain a high gain?
do you think having a good mic-preamp as opposed to a shitty one could have as big of a difference in whether or not high gain recordings will sound good or not?
@LimitlessStudios Do you think you could post some single tracked results with the sm57 and a room mic? Im kinda curious as to how this would sound in a live situation.
@NapoleanXV We sent the Dual Terror back before this video was uploaded, however we still have the session files of all these sound clips so if you'd like to hear a single track of a specific clip let us know and we'll send you a PM with a link to the single track. We don't use room mic's because we prefer dry guitar tones. There isn't a good way to record how the amp will sound to your ears in a room, however in future amp reviews we may include a single tracked sound clip in the video.
@NapoleanXV Agreed, hope they will read this and use it as a tip in the next reviews/sound demos. It's really a pity if you think this is the real sound that comes out of the amp and after you bought it, it sounds way different
I personally own this amp......and I have owned other, more expensive amps. This thing for the money blows away so many amps. Best bang for the buck amp if you are in to classic rock>Heavy Rock>Metal. Throw some pedals in front of this amp and you have a perfect setup. Did I mention it is sooooo easy to transport? It's also just as loud as some of my 50watt heads. God Bless Orange. This review is the best review I have ever seen on Youtube of an amp! You guys are doing it right!
This is probably the best amp review I've seen. Very detailed on the product/specs and showed every bit of information on your guitar setup, recording setup, and the settings used on the amp. Very good job, hope you guy get more amps to review.
Would yall recommend the Orange Dual Terror, Peavey 5150, or Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier for recording. I like the tones of all 3 and I am just wanting everyone else's personal opinion. Thanks.
I own this amp, bought it about a uear ago, FUCK having a review out like this woulda been soo sweet. Easily the best review iv ever seen of this amp, so much better than the guitarworld reviews
@martvinctor On the amp there are no treble, mid, or bass controls, however, the tone knob is very responsive so you still have quite a bit of versatility with your tones.
@martvinctor For the raw sound clips in the video there is no EQ, however, the mix with drums and bass at the end of the video has a slight bit of EQ on the guitars.
How does this suit gigs and so on? I'm used to playing 100watt heads live but the tonal variety of this head blew my mind and now I'm thinking is 30 watts really sufficient.
@B1oodraven This kick threw. Tube amps are always louder than solidstate ones; a good example is the Vox AC30, it'll blow away pretty mucha any solidstate marshall half stack anyone has to offer!
I'm not too familiar with this amp but the OHMS see pretty high which leads me to believe it might not be too loud (the lower the OHMS the louder a peice of equipment can run out...it's all very complicated to explain but thats all you need to know). If you couple it with a decent cab itll be fine
@lagiator Yes, the drums are SSD. The patch won't do you much good as the drums are processed outside of the SSD player. I can tell you that the kick is "Kick 14", and the snare is "Snare 11A". Both have heavy compression on them in addition to a bit of EQ to fit them into the mix better.
Omg thank you for this demo! It's so good to find a demo where there isn't some old guy playing blues, this is a really great review aswell as the others, i've subbed!

You guys own a Fast Track right?
Recording with it using amp sims and cabinets, not using a DI box or a pre-amp is recommended by you?
What abou the line 6 ux2? Is it better to record like this? guitar, bass and vocals.
I'd really like to hear your opinion on this.
Thanx already!
