When Orange squeezed its signature tone into the single-channel 15-watt Tiny Terror amp back in 2006, the British amp maker created one of the most in-demand amps on the market. Orange’s new Dual Terror head goes even further, with two channels and up to 30 watts of Class A power in a compact and portable head.

The Dual Terror has a chunkier-sounding Fat channel and the uniquely voiced Tiny Terror channel. Each has its own volume, tone and gain controls, and a toggle lets you select between the channels. The amp also has a number of power options that increase its versatility: the output is switchable between 30, 15 and seven watts and between four and two output valves, making the Dual Terror equally useful onstage, in the studio and at home. Built to Orange’s high quality standards, the Dual Terror has rugged, roadworthy construction and comes with a padded gig bag, making it one very juicy deal, indeed.
