Honestly I’d love to hear more demos with room mics like this. Gives a better idea of what you might hear while in the room with an amp or guitar. This amp sounds fantastic, btw!
Its gain is a disappointment to me, though. To hear how much better that Dane sounds compared to it is just a symptom of putting a tube pre-amp with a solid-state power amp into big speakers. Like Lee said, it's got "tiny angry amp" syndrome, which I don't really care for in a jam setting. Sounds good recorded, but too compressed in a room, where you need the headroom of a tube power amp.
As a guitarist, for anyone to say this about anyone other than a guitarist is just a person who lives in a fantasy world lmao. Guitarists are notorious for constant noodling and playing.
This format is excellent, and something I've hoped to see for a long time. Room mics ftw! Of course the close miked sounds are useful to an extent, but the inclusion of the room mic part is something you guys need to have in every video. It gives us a much more real-world-like frame of reference :)
I think the rehearsal room format is a great idea... Give us a few real world applications and then the full mix for comparison. It can be disheartening for younger players and maybe some older(I hasten to add I'm ancient) to only hear high quality sound from professional grade equipment. Couple of room mics will send audiophiles shrieking to their shag carpet lined dens, but I like it! Big thumbs up, please try this format again.
He's a fantastic player, but I think that on his Tele he shows a lot more melody and creativity, whereas on the LP he sounds rather trite and just churning out the old clichéd licks of the 60´s.
Ambient mics give a guitar a really raw sound, reminds me of hiring out practice rooms with my mates when I was younger. I was nowhere near this good ofc! Ps this was a great idea for a vid Andertons!
I'll just add, the sensitivity on the Creambacks is 97db. Through my single Eminence Cannabis Rex at 101.8db sensitivity, my Micro Dark had plenty of volume on tap. Plus, the Orange 2x12 is 16ohms, so you're not getting the full 20watts like you would at 8ohms.
At my old punk band's final show I had no fucks left to give, so turned up to play the show with my Micro Terror. It was plenty loud enough, and actually sounded great. I ordered one of these yesterday so I can have a rehearsal rig that all fits on a Pedaltrain Nano
For anyone here who owns one of these and wants to use it for a live scenario, make sure it goes into an 8 ohms cabinet as you will only get full power like that, a 16 ohms cab still is loud but loses the low end frequency
Gosh Orange is amazing. How they make such good stuff for such a damn good price is unreal. I was a Fender amp fella for a long while. Kind of felt like I was missing the tone I really wanted. Bought an Orange amp and speaker on an open box deal and it has blown me away.
Very versatile little amp. The cleans are nice and buttery and the crunch tones are so authentic. The final jam section was stellar as well, great job guys!
When I was in a pick up band, I use to use a Micro Terror into the rehearsal rental place's Marshall 4x12 1960 cab when we practiced and it was plenty loud enough. In fact I was asked more often than not to turn down, and the drummer was no gentle tickler!. Now granted we never played anything that required pristine clean guitar tone, but for mild crunch to roar, a Micro Terror can get the job done in a pinch.
I have this pedal and love it. It’s great for bedroom/living room players like me. Great distortion/feedback at low volumes, takes other pedals very well and you can get a range of tones just from the pedal itself. I’m a classic rock guy and this gets tones from SRV to Judas Priest and is pretty convincing. I stack it with a Boss Blues Driver and a Boss Sustainer Compressor and get tones that I love and that inspire me to pick up my guitar. Great pedal from Orange IMHO.
Gotta say I’m loving having Tayler play some drums in these videos lately, really helps contextualise everything and gives me a beat to groove to while I’m listening :P
Just snagged one for a back up gig amp. If the tube amp goes I’ll use the amps speaker and the stamp. If the speaker goes I can use the line out or cab sim to the PA! It’ll fit right in the back of the amp ready to go if needed. It will be perfect if we can ever do gigs again, and will be a fun piece of gear till then!
Just makes you think what the future will hold. Wattage will increase with time and guitarists will have a row of amps to switch from at their feet. Can see future guitarists now "yeah so on this track I'm gonna do the fender champ for the verses, blues junior for the chorus and a dark terror for the solo“.."Dude we're playing in a church hall in front of 20 people nobody is gonna tell the difference".. "Dammit Carl this is why you play bass" 😂😂
Who wants more watts? I'm an ex-Marshall guy, and last thing I bought was a 1W Blackstar combo, which I love to death. The thing about switching amps from verse to chorus is already true in the studio, and live no one can tell the difference.
@@Ndlanding I'm meaning more from a live aspect. You increase the wattage, the speaker will play louder especially in a clean setting. There's a reason why fender twins are around the 85w mark. True you can get really loud small amps but not loud enough to cut through drums, bass and other guitars. If the wattage increases then these pedals will be able to sit better in live situations. The orange pedal did a good job in my opinion but still couldve done with a little bit more volume as it was choking at points to cut through the rest of the crowd in a recording room. You imagine playing in a massive gig setup where you need the power to get to the volumes you need. You use these pedals as an amp just now they won't cut through, thus why I'm interested to see how the technology advances 👍
@@PaulThird Got you, but even with a wee amp you can re-amp it into a bigger one or the PA for bigger gigs, while keeping your usual sound/settings. I reckon 1W would be fine for rehearsals, but I haven't had it out the house yet.
@@Ndlanding I had a 5 watt fender vibro champ XD. I was able to get it quite loud in the house. Took it for a practice. Had it on 10 and was like dammmnnn this is big with the tubes cranked. Drums and bass kicked in... Safe to say I had to move to the rehearsal rooms twin haha I was so gutted as it sounded amazing and thought it was massive but just became lost in the crowd.
@@PaulThird Hmm. Not keen on Fenders, me. I went to an audition once and the Twin they had could only distort (horribly) at the volume I needed to keep up with the drums, bass and vocals. Also, in my band, the other guitarist had a Twin but he always borrowed my Marshall 50 combo in the studio. Volume-wise, I guess it depends how loud the others play, if the drums are damped, etc.
WOuld have been amazing if you could use that cab sim as a DI out instead, or turn it on/off, that would have been perfect for getting done, plus output for recording.
You can use the effects loop send for both of those if you want. At that point you’re just using the pre amp and sending the signal out before it hits the power section
Great demo - and the band situation thing worked out great! You should do more demos in this vein. 👍 Oh, and the Orange Terror Stamp sounded great, too. I'm going to order one now. 🙂
This looks like it'd be a really rad life-saver backup incase your 100W head takes a shit on you, which I've had happen before because a little fuse inside had gone bad and didn't have time to fix it at the show, and had to rig up a guitar sound straight into the PA using my Fuzz and Booster pedals. NEVER AGAIN! Lol that was not ideal.
Yea, I agree. If they were running 16 ohms, that was probably a mistake; my understanding is that a Class D power section will lose a good chunk (25-33%) of it's volume for every doubling of resistance. Probably could have gotten more out of it at 8 Ohms.
I have a micro dark and for fun tried it at our rehearsal space with a metal drummer (bass drum miced through PA, rest of the set acoustically). It held up with the volume at 11 o'clock and we couldn't stop grinning :D Edit: it was run through a Mesa 412 slant
I don’t get why you would pay more for one of these than you would for a micro terror. Plus with the terror on top of your cab you can get at the knobs.
Tim Hirst it’s because it’s essentially Orange’s Helix but 1 amp instead of every amp. You can DI it straight into the desk so don’t have to lug an amp / cab about
@@Benstra93 yeah i have a tiny terror and the difference is the fx loops which lacks in the orginal tiny terror which this i actually based off. I would one of these pedals and was super stocked when they did this.
Cab sim is the way to go running direct to PA otherwise it’s not loud enough, but it does sound great cab sim direct to PA. Much better then in headphones
Honestly I’d love to hear more demos with room mics like this. Gives a better idea of what you might hear while in the room with an amp or guitar. This amp sounds fantastic, btw!

Wow a drummer that can stop playing when you're talking
Comment of the day!!!!
I've played with a few guitarists who could not stop noodling at any opportunity....
As a guitarist, for anyone to say this about anyone other than a guitarist is just a person who lives in a fantasy world lmao. Guitarists are notorious for constant noodling and playing.
B’dum tsh.
This man knows and speaks the truth.
This format is excellent, and something I've hoped to see for a long time. Room mics ftw! Of course the close miked sounds are useful to an extent, but the inclusion of the room mic part is something you guys need to have in every video. It gives us a much more real-world-like frame of reference :)
I think they need to add bass and drums to all forthcoming demo jams. Not practical, but it sounds so damn good to "fill in" the band.
Lee's blues riff will live forever..and Pete is such a great player. Wow.
Would be great to see more pedals tested in videos in a band scenario like this. Something that is really missing on the RUclips guitar community!
As a board-only-rig enthusiast this pleases me.
I think the rehearsal room format is a great idea... Give us a few real world applications and then the full mix for comparison. It can be disheartening for younger players and maybe some older(I hasten to add I'm ancient) to only hear high quality sound from professional grade equipment. Couple of room mics will send audiophiles shrieking to their shag carpet lined dens, but I like it! Big thumbs up, please try this format again.
Love Danish Pete`s playing.
How good is he? Fantastic player
he's very talented
He's a fantastic player, but I think that on his Tele he shows a lot more melody and creativity, whereas on the LP he sounds rather trite and just churning out the old clichéd licks of the 60´s.

Ps this was a great idea for a vid Andertons!
Glad you enjoyed the video! We were going for that old rehearsal room style vibe... 😉
You should do a lesson video on how to play the Lee lick
There's already one on youtube. Just search lol.
Link 😂😂
@@bradleyclay3415 Can't find it now. It was a guy with a heavy accent, and he just showed how to play it real quick. Wonder if he took it down?
@TheBradge I meant no disrespect to the accent, it was just something I remembered about the video lol. Glad you found this.
Lee who?
Is the "captain lick" the new rickrolling?
It will never gonna let you down.
You got lickrolled.
@@Johansen_271 genius!
No.
This needs to happen more often I hate it when there are no room mics, you never get a real world feel of the gear! Great job fellas
I'll just add, the sensitivity on the Creambacks is 97db. Through my single Eminence Cannabis Rex at 101.8db sensitivity, my Micro Dark had plenty of volume on tap. Plus, the Orange 2x12 is 16ohms, so you're not getting the full 20watts like you would at 8ohms.
LOVE this format. All amp demos should include a live band!

Really enjoyed The Captain's bass playing, especially the opening number.
For anyone here who owns one of these and wants to use it for a live scenario, make sure it goes into an 8 ohms cabinet as you will only get full power like that, a 16 ohms cab still is loud but loses the low end frequency

For such a small package this Amp can really do a lot... Glad you enjoyed the video! 🤘
I got myself a “Dane on the gain on the floor” last week....I can’t play anything without it on now 🤷🏻♂️ love it.
I want one but that damn price! Ouch.
@@sundaynightdrunk Yeh me too. Double ouch!
In fact if you replace the stock JJ tube with a Tung Sol you get even more output. That pedal sounds really good and awesome playing as well!

The fire over Lee's head was some kind of genius lol - cheers!
That one killed me lol ROLLIN
Wow! Did not know how potent this Terror Stamp actually is! Thank you for this demo guys :)
Another 13 or so minutes of my life that I do not feel has been wasted. Great gig guys!
I run a Terror Stamp into a Torpedo Captor for both home recording and my church and I absolutely *love* it.
DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE REVIEWING THIS THING TO MAKE A TERRANCE STAMP REFERENCE? YES! BOW BEFORE ZOD!
Gotta say I’m loving having Tayler play some drums in these videos lately, really helps contextualise everything and gives me a beat to groove to while I’m listening :P
I have one of these, and it takes pedals like a champ. Great with an 8” cab for messing around at the house.
I didn’t watch the video but does it have a power amp or do you need to having something to power it?
Just looked into it, it’s got a power amp, very cool amp pedal
Just snagged one for a back up gig amp. If the tube amp goes I’ll use the amps speaker and the stamp. If the speaker goes I can use the line out or cab sim to the PA! It’ll fit right in the back of the amp ready to go if needed. It will be perfect if we can ever do gigs again, and will be a fun piece of gear till then!
5:35 was that #TheLeeck i heard there
Pete is so good. Good vid. Hats off to orange. Pretty amazing device at that price point. I’ve got a micro terror and it’s pretty great.
Good idea , this format... could be useful for other gear. Answer for what i heard (on RUclips ).... bit quiet.
I love the room mic format !!

@@briandowdall5328 thanks Brian, I will try that.
great video format for any pedal and amp review, would love to see more like this
This makes building a stereo rig easy and convenient to haul!
Great demo - and the band situation thing worked out great! You should do more demos in this vein. 👍
Oh, and the Orange Terror Stamp sounded great, too. I'm going to order one now. 🙂
That neck pickup sounds fabulous
It's a pedal amp of the Orange Dark micro.
That delay sounded like Brian Setzer reverb and that outro jam killed!
The Cpt has some bass playing chops. Keeping it steady and groovy it not as easy as it seems.
Thank you guys for making that demo!
One of the best sounds you’ve gotten!
Pete's playing in this.. Holy crap.
This looks like it'd be a really rad life-saver backup incase your 100W head takes a shit on you, which I've had happen before because a little fuse inside had gone bad and didn't have time to fix it at the show, and had to rig up a guitar sound straight into the PA using my Fuzz and Booster pedals. NEVER AGAIN! Lol that was not ideal.
I came for the playing,and equipment, stayed for the nice humans😁
Guitars aside, that drumkit sounds phenomenal
listened to the final jam so many times ❤️🇮🇹
Great editing no debate
Terror Stamp sold for me, killer demo guys
Needa a bit more to get above the drums IMO.
I agree...thought the drums really dominated the guitar and bass.

Edit: it was run through a Mesa 412 slant
I think it needs more cowbell ;D
harri leppanen thats right, you can never have enough cowbell. Ever.
Sweet guys, making the demo fun. 🤘🎸
I'd get a little nervous about putting this on my pedal board, stomping on something which uses a glass tube in the pre-amp section
Nice one! Please run thru all the small amps on the market with your 3 man band
the best AMP 2020, i love it
Yes! This was the ultimate quarantine lockdown amp. Truly a life saver.
I could hear it but is wasn't forward enough sound good - sounds buried in a live situation - and a second guitar player would probably drown it out.
Highly Relevant Commenter
I agree. Only way it doesn’t get lost would be a distorted harsh tone.
I’d rather have a Katana for a few dollars more.
Agreed. Big time. Plus you can tell the drummer wasn't hitting as hard as some drummers do.
maybe its should be on 4x12 see how thats sound
@@cordero6960 but why? Doesn't a 4x12 negate the lightweight versatility of having an amp pedal?
I like the bass play. Nice and round, musical. Thanks Cap!
Pete is fantastic wow. Nice chops!
I watched till the end . It helps when Rob is not in a video
Can there be a video of the Captain showing us how to play his legendary lick?
Loved the Outro
Nice playing from everyone.
my potential next hernia loves this...great demo awesome
Captain playing on bass with Fingers !!! Respect!!
Check out The Captain laying down and keeping the Groove 👏👏👏
I heard Zeppelin Tones and Aerosmith tones... Excellent demo
Good point as a amp backup.
Wow!! That is incredible!! Love it!
@Andertons Music Co Well, the "non-professional" recording with room mics already sounded better than some youtubers recordings. Cheers!
Peter Honoré: Great video (once again!). What EXACTLY is the Les Paul model? Beautiful in every sense!
Would love to hear and see this type of review with the Orange Rocker 15!
Sounds great! I have the micro terror. Nice little fun amp.

The micro terror is unreal for the price. Stupid gain if you want it but really punchy clean tones too.
And this has an FX loop added
@@Benstra93 yeah i have a tiny terror and the difference is the fx loops which lacks in the orginal tiny terror which this i actually based off. I would one of these pedals and was super stocked when they did this.
@@archiejones2716 is the helix an actual amp though? This has a power amp in
I think it's actually a class ab power section
Pete as always GREAT
Do you sell those rustic pedal stands and is it made from tone wood?
Take my money!
I always wondered who Captain reminded me of. Yesterday someone was playing Muse and I was "oh yeah, Matt Bellamy!"
Thinking of buying two of these, i got two PRS speakers, for a stereo rig. Driven by Boss GT1.
More videos in a band context please
Nice overview. Is it a two-channel switching preamp (Clean / Dirty) or a cascading preamp (channel 1 feeding into channel 2)?
captain with love i tell you, that bass playing its gonna ricochet your Guitar playing. Keep digging. Greetings from venezuela
You Guys are just Great Need I say more ,TY
Buying one of these now
Thanks, was wondering about this.
1:07 intro jam really sounds like a Eric Gales song!! 👍👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
You guys sound so much better with a drummer. Seriously. Do all your videos with full band.
That Les Paul though
Like the circuit board art in the corners,but isn't that really a map of the maze all Anderton employee "hopefuls" have to run?
Love the look of the room. 👍❤❤
A Little Powerhouse 👍👍🎶🎶🎸
M.O.R.E. of this style video.
Lee is good on bass. Plus is this a new studio room?
Mad Kenny Wayne Shepard vibes Pete
Just went and bought one on the back of this video!
Cab sim is the way to go running direct to PA otherwise it’s not loud enough, but it does sound great cab sim direct to PA. Much better then in headphones
You should do one with the micro terror!!! 👍👍👍👍😁
Long as you dont need any low end on stage, your set. 👍
