"orange amps are known primarily for making, well, orange amplifiers".

thanks bro i wouldnt have been able to make that connection myself

[Hellbottom666]

this crap sounds like my old Metal Zone pedal effect... and cost 10 times more than it. 

[TheBenlag]

When your hairdresser cuts your hair like that, please get a new hairdresser and shave your head immediately

[paizwcallofdutY]

WTF? Gay knob?

[TheBenlag]

If he can make it sound good, I'm buying that amp

[TheBenlag]

First amp that he makes sound good.

[47Wolfgang]

Why not a Dual Dark Terror?

[DarkVelizar]

This video is missing 1 more string!

[MrMarlby]

Just bought one today, very very happy with it! Way more usable than my old dual rectifier at home and for me it sounds even better :)

[viperpit07]

@MrMarlby planty of volume through a 4x12 cab i assume? (does it get effin loud for 15 watts?)

[TheBenlag]

@MrMarlby Is the gain tight enough? It sounds super articulate and crunchy but is it tight ? I want to buy one of these with the matching 1X12 cab loaded with a G12K-100 and I'm probably gonna tighten the overdrive even further with my MXR GT-OD. But right out of the box, is it tight enough? Thanks !

[drsmith963]

i heard all these chinese amps are made at the same factory , and the logo is stamped on them at the end of the run , like cort guitars.

[drsmith963]

is this another chinese amp ?

[makerKID5]

Thank you for your demo it was GREAT!!

[vayne92]

Bought this amp today. Absolutely amazing amp for metal.

[Greenwithevil]

Is it just me or does this sound compressed as fuck?

[theguitarshredder987]

@Greenwithevil its probalby the effects put in after the making of the video. probably put in a compressor so we can hear him talking

[BarryDennen12]

Marty McFly.

[Thekeon3]

I like the hair!

[MichaelD8393]

4:01 Paranoid ripoff.

[creepychris11]

@MichaelD8393 If he doesn't have legal permission, he can't play the actual riff.

[MichaelD8393]

@creepychris11 yea i know that.

[mappelby]

i can´t figure out, is this a small amp or a head, it´s pretty imbarrasing xD

[TrippinGiraffe]

@mappelby What do you think?

[mappelby]

@TrippinGiraffe i think it might both be a small amp, but that they have featured so you can plug it into a cabinet and then it becomes a head

[TrippinGiraffe]

@mappelby It's a head, there's no speakers

[fizzlefresh14]

@mappelby i cant either!!!

[XXxsantix]

I hate dis guy!!!....

[YamGuitarMan99]

put back the dead raccoon on your head .. 

[Whyrendog]

I like that the Dark Terror sounds about the same no matter who demos it. Seems to have a character to it that you can't mess up. Don't quote me on that, lol.

[ArtiomPlaton]

is there enough power for small concert?

[09jaccles]

It's not that he's a bad guitarist he's just not a metal guitarist which is what he needs to be for this amp.

[stewnaaitsabes]

@GitarKiwi hehe, i should've listened more to Graham Central Station ('I just don't believe it's fair To judge a man by the look/length of his hair').

But really, I didn't say anything about the review. my sense of aesthetics just told me something was off

[tommythepooh]

Paul is probably the most versatile player out there, did you ever heard the same riff twice?? I didn't

[colejoshrocks]

Across the pond me mum used to scoop me mids something rotten when I was a naughty lad! She'd then put me in a little room in the basement where my Uncle Ernie from the Midlands.would stay when he was on holiday., or too pissed to make it back to Birmingham! Anyway this lad looks a bit like ol Uncle Ernie, he does! Those pickups sound just a little worse than Gretsch Filtrons I believe., if THATS possible! Blimey Limey sounds like someone chokin on a blood sausage doesnt it then?!

[jazz3pick]

awwww paul why cant they find a better guitarist to review these things

[MatKiller1197]

his pinch harmonics are so weak

[DommyWobbler]

humfucking

[AndySan]

la terreur noire FTW!!!

[thethethetheluis]

god it's like an even greasier older version of the singer of green day!

[LKtube1]

Taylor?



[FFPOfficialPage]

Nobody plays that Metallica shit anymore! Sorry but this guy always reviews badass equipment and plays the lamest, most cliche blues and rock riffs ever. I'd like to see a more modern artist with a more widely used guitar play some thing on this Amp, It would probably sell better.

[flacknice101]

@FFPOfficialPage I play Metallica. and so does a bunch of people.... your opinion means nothing..... here's an idea. why dont you start making music that after 10 or 20 years will still be consider classics... Ill be waiting.....good luck.

[FFPOfficialPage]

@flacknice101

No modern artists play simple Metallica like songs. Quit living in the past, what's done is done bro. Sure they were good THEN. But this is NOW.

[transylvaniaave]

@FFPOfficialPage The old Metallica will always be classic.I still from time to time play their older stuff.After the black cd I lost interest.As far as paul,you can still get a idea how the amp sounds.

[berserkerfunestus]

@FFPOfficialPage Checkout fearedse's demo of this amp...

[ThaNatural777]

i always see people doing demos of this amp and playing medal.... is that what its mostly used for and sounds best played as? i play mostly hard alternative

[TheHuMoCa]

@ThaNatural777 Never heard of Medal before xP

[ThaNatural777]

@TheHuMoCa metal. sorry smartasss

[NomadRonin]

@ThaNatural777 Then you'd probably like the Tiny Terror better.

[alaunalasdosalastres]

this is not a combo, right?

[greeneyedladypotion]

he played about 5 black sabbath songs in there

[stewnaaitsabes]

don't like the hair, really bro, not good

[WithFullDistortion]

TOP CLASS AMP

[Sweeper5]

Wonder why he demo'd it with that guitar? Kinda strange choice since I doubt that many of us own a Taylor solidbody.

[nyyguitar3387]

@Sweeper5 no, but they exist. i've played one. they're pretty damn good.

[UltiMogr]

LOL 3:07 worst riff ever!

[153wellsst]

that thing sounds terrible!

[SnackAttackO1]

Sounds like at one point he tried to play paranoid, and failed.

[fender132435]

@SnackAttackO1 He can't play actual songs due to licensing restrictions.

[Maxx61]

There didn't seem to be any gain increase after 12 o'clock.

[Sweeper5]

@Maxx61 I agree. Maybe a little, but not much. It's pretty much very near maximum at 12; not just at "half gain" as they would have us believe. Even so, it's got a lot in there, and I'd love to put one to the test.

[amithabajan2]

Good amp, but I'll stick with my thunder 30 combo. And to everyone who doesn't like the shape knob, it's actually surprisingly versatile.

[focntt]

What happened to the fancy background you guys used to have?

[psyckla5]

"orange amps are known for making orange amplifiers" hur durr =P haha jkgood review

[101jakew]

Orange and Marshall are the two best.

[thrashmetalseizure]

3:40 it sounds like he keeps playing a fucked up version of "for whom the bell tolls"

[OperationEndGame]

I want that Taylor solid-body.

[theultimaterockr]

If you want a better demo search "rob chappers dark terror"

[peteq1972]

@theultimaterockr Yeah, Chappers does excellent demos. Check them out people.

[samathanwataguan]

@theultimaterockr Rob Chappers is boss.

[whyfuckwhenyoucaneat]

@theultimaterockr Yeah, if you like shit videos by a fat, unfunny, average-talented douchebag. Yeah, you're right. Go do that. 

[theultimaterockr]

@whyfuckwhenyoucaneat Lol troll much? Are ya jealous buddy?

[whyfuckwhenyoucaneat]

@theultimaterockr Dude, it's lame when people just dismiss genuinely held beliefs as trolling. Rob Chappers makes annoying long, attempted-amusing videos. They're usually just a forum for him to play the same fast blues licks over and over again. They're not at all informative.

[grazianism]

too fuzzy sound for me, i prefere my little 6505 head :)

[laszlov2]

Awful tones, just plain awful!

[diablopoint]

I just cant help to say when he starts to adjust the shape knob.....There is not a sound that does not sound like a Green Era Sovtek Big Muff...I could do the same sounds dead on with a VOX Pathfinder and a Big Muff. Not worth the money

[MajkeTiTvoje]

that shape knob is no replacement for a real eq

[Mineria]

youtube.com/watch?v=V7oROJyQ9w­s&feature=related

[noobster504]

Sounds like a Line 6. If you want a great high gain amp go with Engls

[vexbykail]

Who the fuck even owns a taylor guitar? I fucking hate this guy.

[Maxpound]

I think I found my first tube amp.

[darkvoid86]

Sounds very doom metal/Sabbath to my ears both in practice and demonstrations on many other videos. A fuzz metal distortion if you will? Not really any "chug", click or noticeable tightness on the low end...... meh.

[Dantheszabo]

@darkvoid86 My thoughts exactly! I was expecting something different. I tried to Tiny Terror for metal use a year ago and thought that it sounded better than that.

But it could also be the guitar or the pickups, not sure.

Maybe it's the Gay knob :)

[2253glen]

One of the best vids I've seen from these guys. Good job, good amp.

[AChozenSunn]

WHENS SOMEBODY GONNA SHOW ME HOW HEAVY THIS THING CAN GET??!??!

[carsguitarswomen]

Who the hell lets him do a video with that hair?

[leragequit]

@carsguitarswomen You didn't know? That's the new style! It's called the "Up and Down" hahaha.

[lobocop101]

dat muthafucka said "the gay knob" hahahahaha

[rod3067]

how much does that amp costs?

[Gabriopunk77]

@rod3067 U$650 on ebay

[rod3067]

@Gabriopunk77 thanks for the reply.

[Gabriopunk77]

@rod3067 you're welcome

[snapascrew]

I clearly hear "gain" and not "gay" you idiots.

[happyman64issocool]

I rlly don't don't get y doods r hating on this. sounds metal 2 me. u could def play "battery" on this amp

[smashingpoop]

i was gonna buy it, until i found out it only has one channel -,-

[rrgert4]

@smashingpoop wait, is this a head ? lol thought it was a combo

[8spider8]

@smashingpoop Hope we'll see the Dual Dark Terron, soon...too!

[GuernB2]

@8spider8 or a dual terror taht has both the tinny terror voice on ch1 and the dark terror on ch2

[stratdoc]

Actually it cleans up pretty well and compared to the tiny you get a (s)morgues board of tones outside of dark. The effects loop alone adds huge value here! If it came dual 30 and channeled I would have a dream amp!

[RG848]

1:59 1:59 1:59 1:59 1:59 1:59 1:59 1:59 1:59 1:59 1:59 1:59 1:59

[LWRCftw]

i hate lunchbox amps

[MrDeardreamer]

Whayda pick a horrible sounding guitar.

No on that plays modern metal will find this review useful

FAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLL

[wiiwouldntliketoplay]

metal? that aint metal man, drop it down to C then we'll talk .

[Derekbasscovers]

@wiiwouldntliketoplay Tuning a guitar a certain way doesn't make it metal.

[01020498]

@wiiwouldntliketoplay tuning a guitar to C starts to go out of metal, stars to be metalcore.... 'nuff said.

[xilo144]

damn i hate when this guy tries to play metal

[EmacMkgod]

I Thought ooooh sweet ill get myself a new one.....£379.51 O.O WHAT!!?

[klblackstar]

meh, I'd still take a Blackstar HT-5.

[m4ssee]

@smashingpoop

animals of leaders? :D what the fuck dude? its animals AS leaders.

[smashingpoop]

@m4ssee omg xDD hahah wtf

[deftonesordie]

@smashingpoop Animals AS Leaders! That's like asking a car salesman to drive in the Indy 500, you're asking the Editor of a guitar magazine to demonstrate more than amp tones at that point. If you're listening to amp reviews for the guitar playing, you're watching for the wrong reasons!

[smashingpoop]

@deftonesordie yeah i know i spelt it wrong that was pretty dumb. but i just want to hear more variety in the demonstrations

[aruizislas]

@deftonesordie He can't even demonstrate that. Every guitar or amp he tries out sounds exactly the same. So, the salesman seems to think every car he drives is his old Mav.

[jamycavero]

I traded my Bogner for this and i have NO regret whatsoever. If i could afford to , i'd buy another. This is one of the best amps i've ever personally used. Not for everyone , but definitely for me ! Do NOT judge based on internet video clip audio !!! If you're interested at all , DEFINITELY go hear one for yourself. VERY impressive !!! Orange finally addressed the only 2 real issues i had with the Tiny and Dual Terrors : not quite enough gain AND no fX loop.

[daveybmusic]

It is hard for people to get a good idea of the amp if your only playing in the lower register of the guitar. Play some high or mid range leads to show off the amp.

[danydrumsable]

@daveybmusic I agree with you

[TheBrandonliteyr]

do you need a cabinet for it?



[operationtrex]

@TheBrandonliteyr No, the amp head alone will magically make sound come out of it no speakers needed.

[bobkat321]

sounds OK,

But i think i'll stick to my Blackstar - luv it.

[soulshiners]

Sounds great for the price, i think it will make a fine practice amp.

[ntrbluesx]

Great sounding little amp this!

[michaeldrywater]

if this is supposed to be directed toward metal playes why isn't he using a guitar made for metal? and 6L6 tubes are made for metal, thats what orange should have put in them

[Slashhat7]

@michaeldrywater You can put 6L6 or El84 and I think KT88 tubes in this.

[s3177000]

horrible fizzy tone

[Dontmakemeshit]

Yeah sit in a club and listen to that shit for 4 hours.. I rather fuck myself with a heated iron

[Siah2000]

I'm all about Orange but I'm not digging the high gain tones of this amp. Tiny Terror was awesome though.

[db1each]

1:59 "And of course, the gay knob". Is this a new, fabulous direction for Orange amplifiers? Or am I just hearing things...?

[orangeedo]

@db1each haha, good spot

[zeppelin25101980]

@db1each its obviously desined to make you sound more like Queen

[Viscecrid]

@db1each 2:01 "And the Gay starts to get 'wild' right after 12 o clock!"

[livepunx]

@Viscecrid but it also haves a shame control

[adtm19993]

@db1each Don't forget the "great effects lube in the back that adds some flavour"

[laiholapso]

@db1each the gay know is a new revolution in amps, it makes breakfast for you when you wake up, and every not you play wil sound like baby baby.... i took the knob of my amp ...

[veeragandersucks]

Taylor only makes good acoustics.

[AnjPhob1aGaming]

sounded like painkiller...

[cbertram11]

its amazing but where the clean channle??:/

[jimistephen]

@cbertram11 well, with a one channel amp, it would be the only channel. You have to either roll down the gain or set the gain moderate and roll down you guitar volume and use a compressor for clean and an overdrive or distortion to get you gritty sounds.

[606wrath]

this thing plays better, then what he showed us :)

i`m deff going to buy this amp :D

[GuitarRazze]

Could you show us sometime how you record your demos?

[TheNohcim]

Why did they use this lame guitar?

[jamycavero]

I traded my Bogner to get this and a PPC 112 and i have absolutely NO regrets ! I've owned the Tiny and Dual versions of the Terror family and with this one the finally addressed the ONLY issues i had with them : not quite enough gain(for what i do) and no effects loop. I've had it for 9 days and if i could afford to , i'd buy another. I LOVE this amp !

[juku223]

you want high gain ? GET MESA !!!!!!!!

[hairychris444]

@juku223 No, Diezel. :-P

As soon as Mesa produce a mini head that's affordable in the UK then that may be an option but I can't see that happening. Ever.

FWIW I had a Dual Recto. It was fun but not the tightest of amps.

[nooboo877]

sounds prity good, but no clean chanel?

[jamycavero]

@nooboo877 "Volume Knob" = It's what players used to call "Channel-Switching".

[fraenkel97]

what guitar is this??? please respond

[daragara555]

How much money this awesome amp costs?!

[hondansx1000]

@daragara555 Its £382 in the UK which is about $600 US dollars

[runenot]

superfish925 at least im a signed musician ,not a wannabe litle faggot who doesnt know shit about music but thinks he is god on the web..

When you become a real musician and have the previlege to try several amps you can make judgement.I have the right to not like orange and its not a stupid piece of shit like you that´s gonna change my mind!!

[panayiotis131]

Say that I plug this baby to a 4x12.

Will I be heard over a loud heavy drummer?

Has anyone rehearsed or giged with it?

Cheers!

[ShinobioftheMyst]

@panayiotis131 I've heard that you can gig with it, I'm not 100% sure. I ordered this amp and its supposed to be here by the end of the week, I can plug it in to my 4x12 cab and tell you then

[BritaniaRuleAgain]

@ShinobioftheMyst My Tiny Terror gigs. Louder than a drum set, when plugged into a 4x12. I mic mine whenever the rare occasion of a larger sized gig occurs.

[Pianoblacks]

finally 720p.

[666patrickbateman666]

@Pianoblacks

720p NOT

1080p Yes

[bennyboytx]

guitarist on youtube are some the most bias rude people...

[acidblasta]

@bennyboytx probably because most aren't guitarist's so much as trolls.

[asianaxeman]

sounds so fuckin digital, why does their recording quality always sound fake and sterile?

[FuckRiff]

I fucking want that fucking amp!!!!!
