      forgive me if this is an ignorant question, but using the effects loop return for distortion pedals... If I understand it correctly, it's Guitar > Distortion Pedal > Effects Return. How would you wire it so you can still use Reverb/Delays in the loop?

      Where does this amp stand compared to the Pedal Baby as a pedal platform? I know the Pedal Baby is 100W while this one is only 20W but since 20W is quite loud enough for most applications and it only costs half of the Pedal Baby AND it has its own preamp (which the Pedal Baby doesn't have) then wouldn't the Terror Stamp make the Pedal Baby obsolete?

I want to see more pedalboard based amps from other manufacturers and glad to see Orange making moves in this category. Maybe one day we can get a Mesa Mark series or dual rectifier in a stomp box format too.

    Figures. I finally made the biggest rig change of my guitar career. Got rid of 28 years worth of gear. Bought the Thomas Blug AMP 1 that is the size of an EHX multieffects pedal. 100w tube driven four channel amp with crazy controls. A Line 6 Helix feeds it and it all goes to an EVH 2x12 cab. That's it! Three components. Cost me about $3400, but with all my trade in's, I only had $45 out of pocket, so that tells you how much shit I took in to my local GC. Now this thing comes out! Oh well, maybe I can make a small board with this and a 1x12 cab to take to rehearsal. This thing sounds fuckin' badass!

    • @ScienceofLoud
      @ScienceofLoud  4 года назад +1

      Blug's AMP 1 is a fantastic bit of kit (and he's a cool guy to hang with), sounds like you have a killer rig.
      Of course, there's always room for another miniature board in your life.

I was looking between these orange Stamps and the Quilter for a pedalboard rig and ran into a great deal for the Interblock and I don't really think I'd trade it for one of these, especially since I already have a micro terror.

    Hi Colin !!! Amazing video as usual that actually made me buy one for my Pedalboard. I am updating my comment as I just realized that you already made a video where you explained that changing a preamp lamp can indeed influence the tone :) !!! So my bad !!! I found as well that the high Gain was a bit too Fuzzy and started looking for a different lamp that could be on my taste (I was about to go for a TAD RT010). But this morning I just decided to put an EQ and give it a try. By reducing the trebles I could reach my kind of high Gain tone 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤘🏻🎸 I completely eliminated the fuzzy part !! It sound huge !! I am so happy !! No need to order a new lamp. Long live EQs !!! 😝🎛️

      Not really a tough choice considering the Stamp is a full amplifier and the Le Lead is a preamp.

    I just got this and love it. I'm kind of confused by what to put in the input and the effects loop. When I take my multi effects into the send of the pedal, the volume controls don't work, is that normal? Or should I be plugging the multi effects into the return?

    Great demo!
    Would the Stamp still sound good at low volumes for playing quitely in a flat/apartment? I read one reviewer say it sounded thin at low volumes.
    Or maybe I can connect the Stamp to my audio interface, then to studio monitors, and control the volume that way?

    Just gotten the victory countess v4 today, running it through the front of a deluxe reverb, but it has a lot of electronic noise,- which is a serious bummer, it sounds tits but that noise can’t stay. Noise suppression doesn’t help much either. Was planning on getting the terror stamp, once out- would running the V4 into effects loop of the terror stomp help kill some of the noise? Using mogami cables running it dry into normal channel eq at zero

    U do need to run it through the pedal baby because on its own 20w doesn't cut enough and the pedal baby with then give that 100w boost option , better to be safe than sorry I say just imo, great demo too mate

    At 4:30 it says FX Loop, but at 6:10 it says FX Return. Can someone explain to me the practical difference in usage here, or is it just a difference in wording? I understand what the FX Send and Return are, but I don't understand the signal path implied by "FX Return".

    • @ScienceofLoud
      @ScienceofLoud  4 года назад +5

      It was all explained in the video, but let me elaborate further:
      An amplifier contains within it two parts: a preamp and a power amp.
      The preamp is the tonal centre, taking the input signal and applying gain and EQ.
      The power amp amplifies the signal from the preamp to get it to a level that will drive a speaker.
      The FX loop sits between these. The Send is the output from the preamp, the Return is the input to the power section.
      If you want to use the amplifier's preamp for distortion, but also want to put a delay after that distortion in the signal chain then it goes in the FX loop.
      The signal chain becomes:
      Guitar>amp input (preamp)>[Send]delay[Return]>power amp
      However if you want to use an external preamp instead of the one within the amplifier then connecting directly to the amp's Return bypasses the internal preamp.
      Remember, the Return is an input to the power amp.
      So the signal chain becomes:
      Guitar>preamp pedal>delay[Return]>power amp
      These give you the same signal again in each case, but what changes is whether the preamp is internal or external to the amplifier.

    It sounds great! But I didn't get it at one point: it is stated that you need a dedicated power supy other than your pedalboard's, but does it also need a separate power amp? Sounded like it didn't, so its amazing and a must have to me! Can't afford a proper valve amp and speaker cabs so this and the mesa boogie IR pedal would make wonders to my sound. Great video man

    Two of those would be nice for a portable stereo ambient rig. edit: lol, Thomann is sold out. those are cheaper than some drive pedals (whoah factor cuz tube pre) more edits: 12ax7 is great. I have a fender Greta 2W combo I modded with a dummy resistor and switch so I can shut off the speaker,(HOW DARE I) and I use the line out to drive other things with that yummy tube pre sound. also regarding the power supply. there is no way 9v could output 20 watts at much less than 3 amps of current, not to mention the power cost of the high voltage trickery used to power the tube, so to anyone wondering, that's why it cannot run from regular pedal power. I wonder why they didn't use 24V actually, as long as they were going non-standard. I understand keeping AC away from the board, otherwise that would have been the best power. I wonder when voodoo labs will have a special X volt (whatever the standard ends up being) Y amp power tap for "stamps"

    • @ScienceofLoud

      Let's not mislead anyone with your comment:
      The Stamp requires 2A at 15V to function. If you want to run it from a USB power bank you will also need some kind of voltage upscaling device and enough current output to handle it. I'm sure you show those products in your video.
      You can't plug it into a standard 5V USB power source and have it function.
