 GEARED hearts the original TINY TERROR head, launched by British amplifier makers ORANGE in 2006. Now we get to love even more, as the hugely popular concept turns into its own fledgling series.
ORANGE DUAL TERROR
Dual Channel Guitar Amplifier
The concept of the original Tiny Terror was simple: squeeze every drop of Orange’s signature tone into a lunch-box sized amp to create 15 watts of unmistakable Class A tone weighing only a few kilos – and at a price every guitarist can afford.
The Dual Terror is a twin channel, 30-watt head, switchable from 30 to 15 or 7 watts giving more choice and options shrunk into a size that belies its power. The 30 watt Class A dual channel amp incorporates the unique Tiny Terror channel and a new Fat Channel bringing a fatter, chunkier sound, whilst keeping the classic Tiny Terror tone.
The power options make this a truly versatile amp, capable of dominating at bigger venues and subtle enough to be perfect for recording, studio work and home playing. Switchable between 30, 15 and 7 watts and switchable between 4 and 2 output valves, the combinations of options provide for unmatched levels of performance and flexibility.
The Dual Terror OS-DT30-H is built to the usual Orange standards, using top quality components and roadworthy rugged construction. The proven Orange Terror concept of combining portability, versatility and delivering most importantly a great sound, is all here.
 ORANGE TERROR BASS
Hybrid Bass Amplifier
Even smaller than the Tiny Terror and weighing in around 5 kilograms, the Orange Terror Bass is a 500-watt hybrid amplifier with a Class D solid state power section and a twin valve 12AX7 preamp to deliver a high-powered performance that can crank out 500 watts of pure legendary Orange tone. Super lightweight for its power and sound, the compact size of the new amp has the portability that allows travelling musicians to go anywhere without worrying about what backline waits at the venue.
 ORANGE TINY TERROR HARD WIRED EDITION
Boutique Guitar Amplifier
The TT Hard Wired Edition is completely UK manufactured, point to point, with glorious hand wiring. This amp offers a step up on the already best selling Tiny Terror. With high specification transformers, ‘carbon comp resistors’ and ‘mustard capacitors’ this is truly a boutique amplifier.
When it comes down to the crunch, it’s the sound that does the talking and the Tiny Terror Hard Wired Edition is more responsive and dynamic than its original version. With a wider frequency response this new amp has more bite and more punch.
Naturally, the Tiny Terror Hard Wired Edition is as every bit as iconic as the original model having the same portability, versatility and unique lunch-box size, with the added benefit of weighing less than the existing Tiny Terror.
This is not a production amp, and each will be individually hand wired, tested and quality checked at Orange headquarters, limiting the numbers available.
 ORANGE WHITE
Limited Edition Finish
Orange have for decades produced their instantly recognisable, brightly coloured Orange Amplifiers and picture-frame cabinets, and only recently offered Black as a standard option. Their unique styling has not only set them apart, but literally helped guitarists the world over, stand out from the crowd.
Now, in 2009 Orange are producing a limited edition white finish on their UK built valve amps and cabs. The cabs have a stunning white finish, complete with black fittings and come with the classic Orange front grill cloth, Orange logo and crest. This finish has previously only been available for artists’ special orders and is now being offered as a special limited edition for the duration of 2009 and will cease to be obtainable thereafter.
The white finish has already been used by artists as diverse as Madonna, Monte Pittman and The View and following numerous requests, Orange are able to offer this for a limited period only at the same price as existing Orange amps and heads. That’s something you should maybe look into.
Pricing and availability TBA. www.musiciansproshop.com.au carry Orange Amps. www.orange-amps.com.
