Never commented on RUclips before. But I've watched a lot of reviews for various things. And this is the best review and demo I've ever seen. Not just for guitar equipment. For anything.
I used this head for over a year with my Blackstar 2x12 cab in my hair metal tribute on dozens of gigs. We played 1200 seater venues and opened for LA Guns, Dokken and Winger using this head. If you have some hot pickups you can really get a cool tone and just enough gain for metal. I now use a Splawn head and use this as my back up. I still use the Orance Micro on smaller gigs.
I just got this head a few days ago. Still CANNOT get over what it can do. It's truly remarkable. Lol. I've seen some people say it can't do clean, which is utter rubbish. I love this amp, especially through a 4x12. I'm debuting it at its very first gig this coming Saturday with my band. Can't wait to see the looks on people's faces. HA!!!
Danny 'Day Yeah, people really don't know what they are talking about. I bought the MT strictly for a clean channel pedal platform....for metal. Needless to say, it works flawlessly running through my custom oversized 1x12 cab loaded with a WGS Retro 30. The MT has beautiful cleans.
@@ryanwilson5936 do you think this small Amp sounds good with a multieffect pedal like Zoom g3xn and a Ibanez JS1000 Satriani Signature(H-H custom DiMarzio Fred and Paf pro)?
Antonio Coloprisco I’ve never ran a multi-fx through it but I would imagine that it would only sound as good as the what the pedal could produce. If you like the sound of the multi-fx you have, I don’t see why you wouldn’t like it through this amp. May need to do a little eq tweaking but that’s business as usually for any piece of gear.
The best thing about the whole terror family of amps is that they work amazingly in a studio. You can get great crunch tones without being too loud for the microphones. Serious pieces of kit.
I went into Long and McQuade in Burlington. They had a used 4x12 Hughes and Kettner for $199. I plugged the Micro Terror in it and it was loud - really loud. The thing sounded like a $2,500 head. Needless to say, I walked out with both the Micro Terror and the Hughes and Kettner cabinet. For less than $400 total you can not beat this setup. But, I do think you need a 4x12 to get the most out of this amp. Otherwise it will just sound like a squeaky little combo.
I own the micro terror and a hughes and kettner 1x12. To be honest, it sounds great and is loud enough for whatever you want to do. But i just think orange and H&K fits togheter really well. Keep rockin dude \m/
Neil Mason getting a Harley Benton 2x12 man. Amazing value. In fact kinda rediculous value. I have no doubt the Hughes and kettner sounded AMAZING though.
Got this amp yesterday, christ. Without much volume, around 10 o'clock, my parents are going mental, and this is with the original cab. I fucking love this and I'll hopefully be rocking it for years to come.\m/
Really impressive that such a tiny amps creates just a great sound, you really could take it anywhere and it's winning loads of awards and best-buys too. Might have to have a go on one.
I never heard the small orange cab. I think it sounds alright. I have used it with 1x12s, my 4x12s. I like it better with pedal setup, better than straight plugged in. Why? Well it doesn't have reverb. Using a Xotic SP compressor and parametric eq helps make the amp sound cleaner. I have used high end pedals: Bogner Red Ecstacy, Wampler SLOstortion, Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret and Boss BD-2. I even tried my ADA MP-1 and it sounds great.
Ive spent so much damn time tryin to find a great lil amp and a good review and you totally hooked me up!!!! You showcased all the sounds and settings and really helped me make my decision. Thank YOu!!!!
Holy shit,great review mate,been looking for a amp,usually play through GarageBand and headphones,just play every now and then,but this little sucker sounds amazing,a deffo buy for me,thanx for the good vid mate
I'm a bass player-I use the Bass Terror and absolutely love it...sounds great and is built like a brick shithouse...I use it for everything, blues, metal, folk etc...WIth the Bass Terror, I'm convinced of the quality, given the beating I've given it. However...I am considering getting one of these for home recording and the odd gig I do as a guitarist...I LOVE the Orange sound...Thoughts?
I bought the Micro Terror a couple of months ago and hooked it up to a ppc112 cabinet with a Celestion Vintage 30 speaker and this thing is unbelievable. For $500 dollars you can get this and it's all you need. The Micro Dark Terror is coming up in about a year.
I just bought one with the 8 inch cab and it's a sweet sounding combination. You can get both cleans and crunch at bedroom levels. If you already have a big cab it will play loud enough for some gigs, but I wouldn't buy a big cab to go with it because 20 watts solid state is not enough to take advantage of the cab's headroom. An Orange PPC12 is pricey but would make a great duo with the MT.
I think sales of this amp have gone up around the globe in response to your two positive reviews. I hope Orange cuts you a great deal! (and yes, I bought one too)
really an amazing amp, and your way of playing the guitar is absolutely delicious. I love it very very much, in fact, both, orange, and your guitar playing. Bravo, félicitations, super vidéo o/
Guess I should have watched the whole video before posting this question. But any other overdrive or boost pedals you can suggest would be great! Thanks and keep making these vids, they're great!
I love those guitars, ML-2. Dear, I have a question, who or what regulates the Chapman prices in other countries? Is there regulation? because in my country the prices are exorbitant. I wish in my soul to have a Chapman ML-2 but in my country there is only one supplier and the value is $ 1,530, I think it's a lot ... Rob, greetings from Chile.
fyi. I had the a vox mico amp plug "classic rock" and thought it was pretty good.It also depends on the headphones.I always wanted the big studio type of phones.I loved that it plugs directly into a guitar and you can walk around wherever and runs on a battery and fairly inexpensive.
he explained it about 3000 times already :) It's a SM57 straight into a presonus firebox into a Garageband, with a little blend of the camera mic in the mix :)
The amp is named Orange Micro Terror because it is orange and small? Is this amp better with a Squier Telephonecaster or the Les Paulcaster? Robs Gibson is so sweet looking in this video. I figure its a special model for pros?
Robchapmans My dear friend Rob, First of all congratulations on the awesome work you're doing with the band and andertons and also on your youtube channel, i consider my self a big fan of yours %
That natural ML-2...it just speaks to me...lovely sounds, great looks and please update the pic on Andertons! Right now it has a burst ML-2 with an arrow pointing to a natural ML-1, saying "in this colour!". Please. Fix. NAO!
Man I have this amp and in my bedroom I have the volume at 1/2 and my parents hear it loud in the first floor of my house! This for sure is not a bedroom amp. It's a giving amp for sure!
Great video. Is this the beginning of the end for the power tubes? This is still a fully analogue amp unlike the current hybrid offer which is ruined by crap modelling and unnecessary complexity. This is also the best value for money seems to me.
Thanks for the answer! I didnt bought it i was affraid so ill wait a month to get two pathfinder 15R and i change the speakers in them for a 10" and run them in stereo. I think that will do the job dont you think?

This is probably the best way to show the capabilities of this amp. This is how all amp videos should be.
First demo I see of this amp that sounds good.
3:09 that tone!!! Ridiculous, the combination of the Micro Terror and the Marshall 4x12 is sooo nice and creamy
Chappers you are one hell of a guitarist man. Not only do I love your electric guitar shredding but your acoustic material is absolutely amazing.
Got this amp yesterday, christ. Without much volume, around 10 o'clock, my parents are going mental, and this is with the original cab. I fucking love this and I'll hopefully be rocking it for years to come.\m/
I love this amp. It's an absolute beast through my 4x12 Marshall cab.
just gigged mine last night and i found it louder than the tiny terror i used to have awesome
Right?! This thing sounds AMAZING!
+rogerthehat Your tiny terror must have been broken then.
i did and ab and found it louder the micro tried 2 tinys but still found the micro louder than 1 tiny terrors
Is this good for gig like small gig or recording?? Plzz plzz explain me with detail and everything i needed to know
Really impressive that such a tiny amps creates just a great sound, you really could take it anywhere and it's winning loads of awards and best-buys too. Might have to have a go on one.
I just bought one! It just blow my mind out!!!!
I love this type of amp with a solid state power section. so reliable
I just bought this amp a few hours ago and I have to say " this small amp is a pandora box " , sound so fucking incredible .
I never heard the small orange cab. I think it sounds alright. I have used it with 1x12s, my 4x12s. I like it better with pedal setup, better than straight plugged in. Why?

Ive spent so much damn time tryin to find a great lil amp and a good review and you totally hooked me up!!!! You showcased all the sounds and settings and really helped me make my decision. Thank YOu!!!!
this gentleman is my new guitar hero and an inspiration to keep on playing, i wish i could meet him some day
ML2 plus Blackouts = win! You sir, have given me an idea for when I eventually purchase my own ML2
I plan on getting the Micro Terror double cab setup within the next month. Thanks for the videos they helped me find my next amp.
As a huge fan of low-watt tube heads, I've been on the fence fpr a Micro Terror.
Your review just convinced me, bro!
Thanks
Boy, I am infatuated with the kind of passion you obviously can't help but invest in your tones n your sounds👍
You can enter up until midnight sunday 23rd - UK time
Holy shit,great review mate,been looking for a amp,usually play through GarageBand and headphones,just play every now and then,but this little sucker sounds amazing,a deffo buy for me,thanx for the good vid mate
Really appreciate the scale suggestions in the Playback Package. Well made!
Rob you are awesome! You inspire me to play guitar and get better. And I learn alot just from watching you play!
This little thing + a Harley Benton 2x12 = amazing and affordable gigging rig!
Ok, that was pretty convincing. Hearing the micro in a band situation sold it for me.
Yes of course, we are about to start work on prototype 2 \m/
Yes no problem, although the first months shipment is all sold out... probably have some inshore for Feb ;-)
Great review. Thank you for all the work you put into these videos.

This video is great! Lots of useful info I think I might treat myself to one
I left Dimarzio and joined Seymour Duncan, we are working on prototype 2 Silverback - it takes a long time to design and bring an amp to market ;-)
Keep rocking Rob, really enjoy all your videos. Awsome reviews, guitar playing, always to the point, tons of info and well done.
I put my entry up on Christmas Eve and I hope I wasn't too late :-) I am very excited to hear the results :-)
Wow that little thing rocks! haha. I love Rob's playing style, the dude jams \m/ cheers buddy!
Technically yes it is, but the Tiny Terror is all valve while the Micro Terror is more solid state and has only one tube.
Cheers!

Hey Rob, Awesome review and fantastic playing as always. I got one of these on the way!! Cheers!!!
Nice to see you're using Mr. Wallimann's resources. Hell of a nice guy, and great guitarist such as yourself.
Thanks Fran I appreciate that dude ;-)
thanks for introducing me to the micro terror. it is amazing. cheers.
Sweet, love Walliman's jam tracks. I've been noodling to them for some time now.
man, that ML2 with the active pickups sounds and looks great!
Been gigging a Tiny Terror for a long time. So, no surprise that the Micro Terror is badass...
This competition is worldwide dude ;-)
Thanks Rick I appreciate that dude ;-)
I freaking love the voicing on orange amps. I want one soo bad lol awesome demo btw fan from the Us
Congrats dude and happy Xmas ;-)
Ok mate, will defo buy one thanks!
I think sales of this amp have gone up around the globe in response to your two positive reviews. I hope Orange cuts you a great deal! (and yes, I bought one too)
Rob got me back into playing guitar recently and I have my ML2 on order, Would like to meet him too and he only lives 30 mins away from me!
loving that ML-2 the top is a beaut
Awesome man, yeah they are really cool I can actually fit three of them in my pedal case ha ha ;-)
That's a killer amp. I might just traet myself this xmas!
love this little amp
really an amazing amp, and your way of playing the guitar is absolutely delicious. I love it very very much, in fact, both, orange, and your guitar playing. Bravo, félicitations, super vidéo o/
That means a lot to me dude, thank you ;-)
Like I said, you can definitely gig it - but you would have to mic it up through a PA ;-)
u have such a good tone rob :D
I think ur mic has experienced so much epic win that it clips because it just does
thanks rob! love micro terror! hahaha
vraiment incroyable ce petit ampli!!!!!!
awesome you killed it. orange give some money to this dude
Guess I should have watched the whole video before posting this question. But any other overdrive or boost pedals you can suggest would be great! Thanks and keep making these vids, they're great!
Great amp, i bought one few days ago.. love it!
Do you think this Amp with a small Zoom g3xn multieffect and a Ibanez Js1000 satriani signature(H-H DiMarzio Fred and Paf pro) sound good?
Antonio Coloprisco, i haven’t Tried The Zoom, but Js1000 is a great Guitar! I think it’ll sound really good!
I love those guitars, ML-2.
Dear, I have a question, who or what regulates the Chapman prices in other countries? Is there regulation? because in my country the prices are exorbitant. I wish in my soul to have a Chapman ML-2 but in my country there is only one supplier and the value is $ 1,530, I think it's a lot ...
Rob, greetings from Chile.
Using this with a 1x12 Mesa Boogie, TS9, MXR Compressor. Very nice
not a huge fan of the cabinet, but that amp is the next thing i'll be purchasing
Dear Rob, you are rocking those dreads. That is all.
I will be getting one of these. Badass guitar playing too btw!
sweet little thing . it has a car stereo power output chip with a very nice heat sink
fyi. I had the a vox mico amp plug "classic rock" and thought it was pretty good.It also depends on the headphones.I always wanted the big studio type of phones.I loved that it plugs directly into a guitar and you can walk around wherever and runs on a battery and fairly inexpensive.
I wanna meet him too... coolest dude on the interwebz truly...
awesome review!
he explained it about 3000 times already :) It's a SM57 straight into a presonus firebox into a Garageband, with a little blend of the camera mic in the mix :)
im supprised that he was able to practice with it in a room with dorje!

Move jimmi, hes staring into my soul!
Mr. Rob!... Great video, Senor! Question... What is that astoundingly hair raising Ocatvia-like effects you're using? Slammin'!... Big C.
Man I have this amp and in my bedroom I have the volume at 1/2 and my parents hear it loud in the first floor of my house! This for sure is not a bedroom amp. It's a giving amp for sure!
Thinking of using one as a little amp for a killer home studio tone! Either mic'd up or using a Speaker Simulator??
DAMN!!!! today is Christmas already.
Please do more pedal board/ rig challenges with Lee!
I think it would sound fantastic through a PPC112OB \m/
OMG! Need one! =D
Great video. Is this the beginning of the end for the power tubes? This is still a fully analogue amp unlike the current hybrid offer which is ruined by crap modelling and unnecessary complexity. This is also the best value for money seems to me.
Just bought this amp because of you!! thanks so much dude! -chayce abbey
Chappers! Throw an Ibanez TS-9 Pedal into the front of it and laugh maniacally at its saturation!
+Khendra Jackson I bet that will sound fucking great!! I love a Tube Screamer, and with the gain on this amp here, I bet it's heaven.
Thanks for the answer! I didnt bought it i was affraid so ill wait a month to get two pathfinder 15R and i change the speakers in them for a 10" and run them in stereo. I think that will do the job dont you think?
It's not the size, it's what you do with it.
