Big Tone in a Tiny Amp

Do you need an amp with an extremely small footprint that still puts out big sound? Orange's Micro Terror guitar amplifier head is extremely small but still packs a sonic punch. This amp's hybrid design features a 12AX7 preamp tube and a 20-watt solid-state power amp. You'll notice the distinct British character of the Micro Terror on every setting from clean to overdrive. A headphone output and MP3 player input make this amp head perfect for practicing. If you're after that big Orange tone, but want it in a teeny-tiny package, then you want the Orange Micro Terror guitar amplifier head.

Orange Micro Terror Guitar Amplifier Head at a Glance:
  • Classic British tones
  • Take your tone with you!
  • Versatile practice amp
Classic British tones

If you are after classic British tones, the Orange Micro Terror guitar amp head has them by the truck load. From chimey cleans to meaty crunch to pummeling overdrive, the Micro Terror is all Orange all the time. The 12AX7 preamp tube gives you warm tube characteristics that every guitar player looks for. The Orange Micro Terror delivers the great British-flavored tones you want in your rig.

Take your tone with you!

The Micro Terror has been built to the same rugged specification as the bigger Orange amps and its portability makes it perfect for gigging around town or rehearsing. The Micro Terror delivers a surprisingly loud 20 watts of classic Orange tone. At 5.3" tall and 6.5" wide, the Micro Terror is one of the smallest amp heads available on the market.

Versatile practice amp

Besides looking good, the Orange Micro Terror amp head is also a very versatile amp. The Micro Terror is the perfect practice tool; plug your MP3 or CD player in the aux input and learn your favorite songs note for note by playing along with them. The headphone output lets you practice quietly without annoying your neighbors.

Orange Micro Terror Guitar Amplifier Head Features:
  • 20-watt hybrid guitar amplifier head with serious attitude

Big things in a little package

This amp is an absolute BEAST. Thr mini-Terror is my go to practice amp (I own 3 of them... the other two are a VOX system and this blows both out of the water). I cannot reccomend this amp enough and guarantee you will not be disappointed with the results you get from this incredible mini set up.

The terror is anything but micro

It has past the test of time and is still worth the great and friendly price tag. A lot of bang for you buck! Cleans up and sound great and get down and dirty also. 8 to 16 ohms 20w hybrid amp. Nice and simple the way I like it! Great for in the living room or whatever. This thing is loud. And of course the outstanding customer service that Dontae Harris and sweetwater bring to the table is Second to none. That why I choose sweetwater time and time again!

Best Band For Your Buck EVER!!!!!

This thing is honestly amazing! I knew it was going to be good when I got it a couple years ago but I had no idea how absolutely awesome this thing could really be! The Orange Micro-Terror is SUPER loud, and it's plenty loud for those who are playing smaller shows! It's currently my main amplifier for a while and it's served me very well! I've played with this thing alongside people with bigger amp setups and it's really held it's own. If you want to fill a room without having to crank it, it's still possible with this amp! Would always recommend looking at the Orange stuff and this is no exception! Love this amp!!!!!

Tiny Terror

Wow! I plugged this into my Marshall 2X12 and did not expect the sound that came out. This little guy is worth every penny!!
Rated 4/5

Tiny and terrible (in a good way)

I needed a small amplifier to keep in my office at work and based on my experience with Orange amplifiers in the past and reviews this seemed like a great choice. To be honest I'm one of those guys where I won't practice if the amplifier sounds crappy. Thankfully this little thing sounds great! Maybe my favorite thing about it is how comically small it is. Most of my coworkers laugh the first time they walk into my office and see it. It frankly looks like a toy but it kicks gluteus max. Originally I was just going to buy the amplifier and use headphones but Sweetwater had a bundle deal that included the speaker cabinet so I went ahead and got the whole setup. Once nice touch is that it comes with a speaker cable. A minor thing but it was appreciated. Anyway, I enjoy the amplifier. Hopefully I get a chance to plug it into a full size cabinet at some point to see what this thing is really capable of. Thanks to Sean at Sweetwater for helping me pick out which tiny terror to buy.
