Orange Terror Stamp
Orange · amplifier
The Orange Terror Stamp is a 20-watt hybrid valve guitar amplifier in a pedal-sized enclosure, using a 12AX7 tube preamp into a Class A/B power stage to drive a real cabinet. With volume, gain, and tone controls plus a headphone output with cabinet simulation and an effects loop, it turns a pedalboard into a tiny, giggable amp and is among the most portable real-tube amps available.
