H555rocks Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Hey guys, I was at a camp a couple weeks ago that was sponsered by Orange Amplifiers and was wondering what your opinion of them is. From what I saw and heard they were great amps ( I like how much tone choice you have without having a million knobs) and they really held up to a bunch of teenagers jamming on them!
DetroitBlues Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 I love the Tiny Terror. Great blues/rock tone. Not quite your clean jazz amp, but when you need to rock, that's the amp. Very small and compact, easy to use, and sounds great!
Fernando Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Orange amps not only sound good, they also provide important nutrients like vitamin C and beta-Carotene. I've never owned one, but I love how they sound. They are on my wish list for amps...

DetroitBlues Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Forgot to mention a friend of mine has an Orange Rockerverb head and matching cabinet. He went from Fender Twin, to Marshall, to Mesa, then finally to Orange stating it was the perfect amp stack for him....
DrWiddly Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 +1 on the Tiny Terror. One of the great recording amps of all time. Back in the 70's I was a fan of Wishbone Ash and bought an OR120 head because they used them. It was a great sounding amp but the lack of a master volume and the fact that it was probably the loudest amp I've ever owned, led me to sell it and buy an AC30. I often think how good that amp would sound with a Hotplate..... (sniff!)
jjkrause84 Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 I like Orange (I've played pretty much all of the newer models) but I prefer Marshalls...simple as that. Of the new Oranges I find the Dual Terror to be by far the best. Good clean sound and killer raunch.
cnikolov Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Great amp, small, clear sound though I'd agree with the earlier post more suitable for rock than jazz http://www.mobilemusiclessons.ca

the jayce Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 oranges are great amps !!!! but of course there is no substitute for a good marshall.... couldnt resist im sorry......
smokedtires Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 I have a Tiny Terror Combo that works great for me playing in my house. I added a Mr Springger reverb which was a great addition to the Orange.
barrymclark Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 I can't wait to try out a Dark Terror. on my list of wants.
DetroitBlues Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 If only I can get over the fact I recently found out their made in China...
barrymclark Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 If only I can get over the fact I recently found out their made in China...yeah but if you want that Orange Terror sound... you're a buyin Chinese.
DetroitBlues Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Yep, the paper and oil caps are made with rice paper. Gives them a unique tone.

koula901 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 If only I can get over the fact I recently found out their made in China... better get over it. everything's made in China. Some good stuff coming out of Indonesia, too, very cheap.
DetroitBlues Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 better get over it. everything's made in China. Some good stuff coming out of Indonesia, too, very cheap. I know.... The Chinese stuff keeps improving, as does their quality of life... In the next 10 years their middle class will force production somewhere else, hopefully back here....

barrymclark Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 I wouldn't count on it... unless something changes. Manufacturing still seems to be leaving. I sure hope it does come back.... but something would have to change.
mark555 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 I resent buying Chinese. Orange Amps were British. If you want the quality and build of an Orange amp, British built with point to point hand wiring, and sound and build quality that will compete with ANY USA boutique built amp at half the price, then look at Matamp amplifiers. You have probably never heard of them, but most of what they build goes to the USA. Any one I know who has played through one of these has been astounded, myself included.
H Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 I resent buying Chinese. Why? As an economy, their time has come. They're strong and can dictate, to an extent, what happens to their interests in the world. They have a lower cost base than most of the industrialised nations of the world plus the infrastructure, management and distribution capabilities to take advantage of that. The only thing they seem to lack in any large amount is innovation; they are good at building other's products though. The UK, USA and many others have had their times in the past and made the best of them. It's someone else's turn now. Empires rise and empires fall...
