      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

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 feel like these pedal board based amps are the future for solid state amps. Orange should do the next iteration of the Crush 100 as a floorboard amp. More compact and even easier to transport while still having lots of power. Maybe even give it one or two 9 volt outputs to power some pedals similar to the Victory V4 amps. I'd also say include a digital cab sim capable of loading IR's for recording and playing silently as well as running to PA if you don't want to lug a cab along to the gig.

    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

    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

    If stomp sized amps are the future, companies should offer separate pre and power amps.
    What would a Mesa Rectifier pre amp sound like plugged into a Marshall JCM 800 2203 power amp? 🤔
    Or let's hear a blues breakers pre hooked into a JSX power.

    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  Před 4 lety +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.

    What is your go to amp?
    Do you have a fave that is the "ONE" or do you have one for live and one for recording?
    Your wisdom will be greatly appreciated.....

    Is this the gubbins of a Micro Terror, a Micro Dark or somehow both? Confused by the Shape knob, CabSim & FX loop (like the MD), but a) it's white, b) is called Terror, and c) I think possibly sounds more Terror than Dark (going by only the video). Also the black/white thing and dual volume knob suggest it's both in one? Would be amazing if somehow it is both amps in an even smaller form factor! If not, are they considering a Dark Stamp? Cheers, Rob
