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 aux input make this amp head perfect for practicing in between gigs or band rehearsals. Bring your favorite Orange tone anywhere without the physical stress of moving a full-size amp head with the Orange Micro Terror.

Classic British tones

If you are after classic British tones, the Orange Micro Terror guitar amp head has them by the truckload. From chimey cleans to meaty crunch to pummeling overdrive, the Micro Terror is a true testament to its namesake. The 12AX7 preamp tube gives you warm tube characteristics with all the picking dynamics that make traditional tube amps favorable among tone purists.

Versatility anywhere you go

The Micro Terror has been built to the same rugged specifications 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 inches tall and 6.49 inches wide, the Micro Terror is one of the smallest amp heads available on the market.

Besides looking good, the Orange Micro Terror amp head is also a versatile amp. Sweetwater guitarists call the Micro Terror the perfect practice tool; simply plug your smartphone into 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 Features:

  • 20W hybrid guitar amplifier head with serious attitude
  • 12AX7 preamp tube delivers classic British sounds from clean to full-on overdrive
  • Rugged all-metal construction provides years of service
  • 1/4-in. headphone out and 1/8-in. aux input allows silent practicing with your favorite tracks

Really surprised!
This little guy packs a huge punch. My immediate impression was complete shock at how loud it gets. It had been a long, long time since I had bought a new amp, and my old one was a 2 x 60w solid state. This 20w hybrid amp is much, much louder than my old one. I have it paired with the Orange PPC108 8 inch cab, and it sounds great. I primarily play blues, and with the gain dialed a little under halfway up, it gets a nice bite that is suitable for blues. However, when I crank the gain up, it becomes immediately evident why this is called the Micro Terror. It is melt-your-face-off distortion. Overall, I am really happy with this purchase. Lots of fun to play. The picture I have included has a shoe next to the amp for size comparison. It is actually even smaller than I anticipated it being, but it is super cool.

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!!!!!
