Titanic Tones in a Stompbox-sized Package

The latest addition to Orange's compact Terror amplifier series, the Orange Terror StAmp is a compact hybrid amp that easily fits on your pedalboard. You heard that right, Orange has crammed the punch and power of the Micro Terror into a stompbox you can keep on your pedalboard. The secret to the space-saving design is the 12AX7/ECC83-based tube preamp that's married to a 20W Class AB solid-state power amp. You'll get the compact amp you want without sacrificing the ear-splitting growl you love. Complete with a shaping control, buffered effects loop, and speaker output, the Orange Terror StAmp 20-watt Hybrid Amp Head proves that big things can come in small packages.

Note: This device is intended to drive a speaker cabinet and should not be placed in front of an amplifier or pedals.

The Terror series: cramming big things into small packages

Long ago, the engineers across the pond at Orange Amplification decided that bigger isn't always better. Setting out to prove their theory, Orange released the Terror series, a line of compact amplifiers that pushed out skull-crushing tones. As the years passed, the Terror became smaller and smaller, finally emerging as the Micro Terror. In the wake of the massively successful Micro Terror amplifier, the engineers at Orange crammed the same crunch and grimy goodness into a single stompbox-sized effect. With the Orange Terror StAmp, you can take uncompromising British tone to every show without risking your back carrying a heavy amp and cab.

Hybrid design gives you the best of both worlds

Unfamiliar with hybrid amps? Not a problem. A hybrid amp typically consists of a tube-based preamp that runs into a solid-state power amplifier. This configuration saves space, increases reliability, and produces an unforgettable tone. The Terror StAmp has a 12AX7/ECC83-based preamp that delivers the warmth and feel of tube amplification. Meanwhile, a Class AB solid-state power amp keeps things small and prevents the Terror StAmp from taking up too much real estate on your pedalboard. Tons of guitarists around Sweetwater prefer hybrid amps because they combine the clean responsiveness and reliability of solid-state with the unmistakable tube tone that players know and love.

Take control of your tone

The Terror StAmp has simple, intuitive controls to help you get the most out of your amp as quickly as possible. It's equipped with Orange's exclusive Shape control that tweaks the character of the amp from a mid-forward voicing to a classic scoop. In addition to the traditional gain knob, the amp head has two independent master volume knobs to tweak to your liking. The onboard footswitch toggles between the dual volume controls to give you the amp's entire range of sound at two different volumes. Set one volume low for the verse and chorus, then kick on the higher volume and take center stage for your big solo.

Dual outputs and effects loop enable maximum versatility

Despite what its minuscule size may make you think, the Terror StAmp is incredibly versatile. It'll fit right into your signal chain, thanks to the fully-buffered effects loop. That's not all, this compact amp has an onboard Cab Sim headphone output and speaker output. When you plug a pair of 'phones into the cab sim, you're greeted with a massive Orange-flavored 4 x 12" speaker emulation. You can also run the Cab Sim directly into your interface for recording or directly into your PA onstage. The 8- and 16-ohm speaker output can be used if you want to move even more air. Whether you’re ripping solos onstage, recording direct, or rehearsing until the sun comes up, the Orange Terror StAmp can do it all.

Orange Terror StAmp 20-watt Hybrid Guitar Amp Pedal Features:

  • Packs massive, uncompromising Orange tone into a pedalboard-friendly package
  • Hybrid design saves space without sacrificing tone
  • All-analog design retains the character and responsiveness of full-size Orange amps
  • Footswitchable master volume controls give you the amp's full character at two different volumes
  • Buffered effects loop helps the amp fit into your signal chain without affecting sound quality
  • Shape control modifies the tonal character of the amp from mid-forward to scooped
  • Cab Sim headphone output reproduces a 4 x 12" cab for quiet practicing
  • 8- and 16-ohm speaker output allows you to plug into a cab if needed

Thing is fantastic.

It finds its place and way into the quick play or whatever. Paired with 2x12 of some kind or conveniently a headphone. Also, jhs little black box through the fx loop works as an extra volume to help balance things a bit depending on space/other amps. Enjoy.

Oranges are better then lemons

My brother has a micro dark terror that he has sworn by for years. I live in an apartment and wanted something that I could use at low volumes but also maybe use for low key gigs and smaller venues. When I saw they were releasing a pedal version of the micro terror I knew my search had ended. This thing is amazing! It gets way loader then I would ever need it to get, goes from sparkling clean to dirty crunch, has a amazingly wide eq range for only having one tone knob, and has a headphone out. All in a tiny footprint Its so small and lightweight I was able to mount it under my pedalboard. So now my pedalboard has a built in portable amp w/tube preamps that takes up literally no space or real estate. I can grab my board, plug into a cab and be ready to go! Great product would highly recommend. Is definitely an orange and not a lemon.

Love this little amp

When this unit was released I really didn't think much about it, but when I realized I could you it to run my Helix HX Stomp into my Mojotone 1x12 cab, I jumped on it. I have been so impressed just playing this unit by itself that I hardly use my Helix. Good cleans and nice distorted tones and cleans up with the volume on my strat, which I love! Thanks to TJ, at Sweetwater, for his help! First class customer service!

Great value and footprint

I'm using this with my SYN-1 pre-amp system for an insane versatile portable rig. This little amp sounds fantastic. I tried some other 'amp in a pedal' before deciding on this. It was one of the only ones around this price range that had not only a great power amp, but pre-amp section with effects loop. Even compared to some of the newer Seymour Duncan power stage amps at over twice the price, this thing easily holds its own.

I only docked half a star for headphone implementation. First, it doesn't disable the speaker output when you plug headphones in. Second, the cab sim on the lineout/headphones just doesn't sound good to me. I wish you could disable the cab sim if you wanted to.

A warning too, the fx return bypasses the volume controls unless you use the amps send. This means you can't really bypass the pre-amp unless your pre-amp has a master volume. No points docked for this, but useful information.

No Brainer

I bought this recently to keep as a backup to my Marshall DSL40c, as I was tired of lugging a second amp to gigs. At first I wasn't too crazy about the tone right out of the box, but after adjusting the internal gain trim pot (I went as low as you can go),
It sounds amazing, and still has plenty of volume to keep up with a band. I use it all the time at rehearsals, and we all agree it hangs just fine with our much more expensive tube rigs. Well done Orange!
