A clean boost or even an EQ at the end of your chain in the loop can be used to greatly increase the clean headroom. For anyone concerned about not having enough headroom as a pedal platform. I am using an RC Booster clone for this. It also gives an extra level of EQ with the bass and tone control. Great vid thank you.
Orange is my favorite amp company too, and I love this thing, just got one last week. I keep hearing conflicting information as to the solid state power section, SweetWater and orange have both said it’s class AB yet they also say it’s identical to the micro dark (and I believe that) and that it’s class D. The weight would make me think it is In Fact class d. Even the manual doesn’t say what class it is. Regardless, I run a micro dark and this now as a stereo rig, stereo chorus and delay are lovely, and I keep them set identically except I tweak the shape slightly on each and have one through a 2x12 cab and one through an open back 1x12. Also, your pedalboard is lovely, I’ve got the mxr Timmy as well and it’s such a great pedal!
@@SeanPierceJohnson I plug it into a 60watt cabinet with Celestion Vintage speaker. It's good enough for rehearsal or small gig. It can easily get too loud for home playing.
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?
It’s certainly better sounding if it’s turned up past whisper. I thought it sounded fine at low volume. But you can definitely plug it into an interface and control your volume that way
ElectricJaguarBaby Management Wow!! Thanks man 🙏 incredibly humbled by that compliment. Honestly, it all boils down to the speaker cab you use on that tone. It “feels” louder through an 8ohm cab and a higher power speaker than through my Orange 212. BUT, even still, it has quite a bit of volume.
@@SeanPierceJohnson i mean It, i watched 15+ videos on this amp. I use a ppc12 or whatever i can depending where i play. Most of the time i use a rocker 15 head, but need a smaller amp on the go. So After your video i might go for It ! Also a possibilty to crank the volume on other pedals (like fuzz or od)
i actually do use the Micro Dark on my board mounted with Zip Ties after my Orange Two Stroke Parametric EQ and before my 1990 Yamaha 7 band EQ as my main tone without any gain or distorion pedals, which, like fuzz and other shit, there are a ton of, I run that into an Orange Rv100MKII 3/4 stack and a Dark Terror with a 1994 Tubeworks Tweed 4x12 and a 1980 essentially NOS PV Classic 50VT with Phaser circuit so a 65W stack stereo with an Orange Bass Crush 100 1x15 Bass amp and a Behringer Ultrabass 300w Head and 1x18 300w bass cab in the center as an essentially AI basssist as the Ultrabass circuit is also an OC5 and on guitar the suboctave cuts out when I get into treble notes so I don't have to worry about turning it off either, the 1x15 adds just enough thunder to the guitar to push it ove rthe edge into bass range especially as I tune to C flat Standard and use synth pedals.
A few things. It’d be great if there was a Gain channel assigned to each volume. That’d be so useful. The power pack is huge. Maybe if it could power 4-5 pedals also then it’d be even more useful. Finally, love the look of your pedal board, who makes it? Thanks.
- It would be cool to have two full channel but then the pedal would be rather large. they were definitely going for compact here. - as i say in the video, you need that kind of power to run a tube at the proper voltage. it is sizeable, but if you tuck it underneath a pedalboard, it's no issue for me. - the pedal board in the video is the ACCEL Audio XTA-21. I actually have a video about it on my channel. Check it out!
SeanPierceJohnson yeah I get that, but in reality the pedal and pack supplied ends up being much bigger. Most people focus just on the size of the unit rather than the complete package. I’d take a bigger box with a simple kettle lead over a transformer pack. I’ll take a look at your review on the board also.
Man, it sounds great, even the cleans! And the higher gain w/ delay at around 12:27 sounded great to my ears. ...sounds great except for the cab sim, that is, which somehow sounds even worse than the 2015 Mesa/Boogie cabclone. o.O
Hahah! I’m not even mad that you mentioned it. As we said in the wrap-up, the built-in Orange Cab Sim is the weakest part of the whole package. But I’m glad you dig the video! Come back for more ✌️❤️🤘
I have an orange th-30 and I want to use this as essentially a third channel. Can I use it with the same cab? Or do I need an aby sorry if this is a noob question.
No worries about "noob" questions...I'm here to answer: Unless you have some sort of switcher that will route your audio through the Terror Stamp one patch and then reroute the audio to your amp's input, you can't use this as a "third channel". Although there are products like this on the market, the Terror Stamp isn't that advanced. If you wanted this to be 3rd channel, the easiest way would be as you assumed: get another cab, ABY switcher and go back and forth. It's not glamorous and is a lot more gear than you may want to cart around but you'll spend way less money on that setup them a switching system to do it for you.
I was about to pick this up until I heard your demo with that cab sim. I'd be getting this to both play live but, more importantly, record direct into Logic (I don't like Logic's amp/cab designer). If this is how the cab sim sounds, though - very thin and tinny, then I might skip it. The actual amp sounds incredible through your cabinet, though.
I'd still pick it up. You can always use the Line Output into your interface and use IR loaders in your DAW or even check out some of the Cab Sim pedals out there like the NUX Solid Studio, ENGL Cab Loader etc. Then you'll have more options.
Maybe...IDK 🤷♂️ I don’t have those cabs and I’m not 100% sure of the specs. But I do know the Terror Stamp shares similar specs with the Micro Terror. So if you could do that with the Micro is should work with the Stamp
Nice review bro. However it's a class AB power amp, not class D (a good thing IMO). I find it runs out of headroom quickly if you pile on the boost in front of the amp. I like mine, but I haven't felt ready to use it live yet as some of my favourite pedals don't play so well with it, especially my fuzz face. But this amp is loud and I imagine with the right cab it'll be a great, compact rig for many gigging musicians. I wouldn't mind trying it out with a lower gain tube in it like a 12AY7. I don't need the amount of gain that this thing can deliver!
It can go into a mixer form the Speaker Sim out yes. And by can do you mean “cans” as is headphones? Yes you could do that. Though the speaker sim sound is not very good.
Am I the only one whose power supply generates a loud hum/hiss? The noise comes in the signal chain as soon as the pwr cord is plugged into the pedal. The noise gets even louder what I switch the pedal on.

Good suggestion!
Glad you dug the video
Actually the most useful review out there, showing all the different scenarios, especially the one with Stamp as a clean pedal platform.
Thanks Vladimir. Really appreciate the kind words.

Got my terror stamp a couple of weeks ago. This thing is loud. Louder that you expect. Pretty decent sound for such a small amp.
pumped through the right cab it is VERY loud.
@@SeanPierceJohnson I plug it into a 60watt cabinet with Celestion Vintage speaker. It's good enough for rehearsal or small gig. It can easily get too loud for home playing.
I was not ready for that jump into cab sim 😂
Yeah the cab sim is the weakest part of the pedal
Hell man this sounds perfect!! Now all we need is a Rockerverb Valve Preamp with 5 Ecc83s or mini valves (just like the victory V4 series)
Heck, I’ll just take a Rockerverb Distortion pedal and call it a day. I don’t even care if it has tubes
Great demo!

@@SeanPierceJohnson that's good to know!Thanks for explaining, I'll try it with an interface to see.
Best demo on this amp on YT ! Question can the "pedal plateform" use of it be enought for gigin ?

Awsome tones with this Amp Sean!
J Steen thanks buddy!! Glad you dug it ✌️❤️🤘
Great demo as always Sean!! Cheers!!
Thanks buddy! Awesome having you on the livestream and I’m bummed I missed your bday live show. Hope it was a blast!
this is extremely helpful, the answer is that I need an OD distortion and fuzz clearly... but what to buy first...
glad it was helpful! need a fuzz? Keeley Fuzz Bender! distortion? i'd say the TC Dark Matter! overdrive? Try the new Walrus Audio Ages!

Oh definitely!
@@SeanPierceJohnson yep that way u can also run an eq pedal etc in the loop
That thing is a beast!
It ain’t no slouch that’s for sure 👍
The Tones!!! The Toooooooooooooneeeeeeeeesssssss!! Damn that’s some good tonal brutality!!! Dude your tone is very Zesty and full of pulp!!!!

Any idea how it compares to the Tiny Terror?
: Pow I can’t say with 100% certainty but there is bound to be difference since this has a Sweep control and the Tiny Terror had a Tone Knob.
From lunchbox to lunchable amp
hahaha
Dude it be awesome if you built a pedal kit on a future live stream!!! And then paint it and call it the emperor pulpatine
Riley IoAcura oh the puns! Haha 😆
Can you run these into 2 daisy chained PPC108’s?
Maybe...IDK 🤷♂️ I don’t have those cabs and I’m not 100% sure of the specs. But I do know the Terror Stamp shares similar specs with the Micro Terror. So if you could do that with the Micro is should work with the Stamp
Where do you put this in your signal chain?
Treat it like an amp…so it would go at the very end. And it does have an FX loop as well.
hi sean ! i have a question, what if we use that output channel into mooer radar cabinet simulator ? thats gonna be good or not ?
Hey bud! You can use the SEND of the FX loop (also a Line Output) and feed that into a Cab Sim. So that should work no problem 👍
SeanPierceJohnson thanks buddy ! 👍
No problem! Let us know how it turns out

Ah well...got something wrong. But hey I’m glad you liked the video. It would be interesting to try some other tubes in there.
So I can just connect this to a can and that’s it right I can also connect to the mixer right

Though the speaker sim sound is not very good.
@@SeanPierceJohnson typo I meant to say cab
Ah! Well you can do that too
Atreyu interlude was dope
Did I play an Atreyu song?
6:31 Power ranger?
Indeed it is 👍
Am I the only one whose power supply generates a loud hum/hiss? The noise comes in the signal chain as soon as the pwr cord is plugged into the pedal. The noise gets even louder what I switch the pedal on.
I don't have that issue...might be the power supply, might even be the tube is bad.
@@SeanPierceJohnson It was the YHY power supply. I was able to find a 15V 2A power adapter, and now the little stamp doesn't hiss/hum anymore.
Does it go to 11?
Wherever it goes, it goes there
Class A/B not D
yes, i know. it's been pointed out a few times.
