Tiny AMP For Your Pedalboard | Orange Terror Stamp 

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?

@@kyleboggs1966 guitar>distortion>delay>reverb>return Master volume will be the distortion pedal.

@@damonligaw5207 My wonder, was does it have the same tone going this way vs. just through the return or will it be notably different?

What if I plug it into a Cioks DC7 ?

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?

But this was worth the pun

I haven't been feeling good today, but this made me smile. Thank you. 😂

I completely agree.

Love my Rocker Terror natural channel.

I totally agree

I knew I couldnt be the only one!

The clean channel on my th30c was the only clean sound that competes with a fender clean to me

I got actual PTSD from that.

You're never too young to have a Vietnam flashback...

I came to this comment section to say this

​@@ScienceofLoudwas that a hit of Vietnam I took? 🤔

It's a doom machine for sure. All that grit is great for adding girth to a mix.

Do you mean the Magnum 44?? That's just a power amp and has fewer features than this by far.

Mini humbuckers

Set it clean. Distortion pedal. 2 channel amp now.

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.

@@ScienceofLoud ah I obviously missed that entire part haha. I see now why you might use a pedal like that in such a way. Thanks for the thorough explanation!

Are you using it within a pedalboard set up? What pedals are you using with it?

@@ScienceofLoud It's all on my pedalboard. Alongside the Stamp, I have a TC Electronic Skysurfer for reverb, the TC Electronic Prophet for Delay, MXR M101 mini Phaser and a good old Boss DS-1 for Distortion when I want something other than the natural sound of the pedal itself. I'm going to add a wah eventually, but, that's all I use. Please keep up the great video content, Colin!

Not really a tough choice considering the Stamp is a full amplifier and the Le Lead is a preamp. You'd still need a power amp to go along with the Le Lead. The example of the Stamp being used with the V4 preamp is a perfect example of this.

@@ScienceofLoud right. Actually I just need something like this for recording purposes. For most of the cases I don't need the power amp! I would use the preamp outs and emulate a cab! But yes, the Orange has that option while the Le Lead doesn't. I'll keep that in mind!

They’re so cheap and come with an fx loop. Throw an ehx holy grail in there and you’ve got all you need

@@roman2374 fair point!

The Stamp lacks clean headroom. In order to stay clean, the overall output has to be a bit too quiet. But with a light crunch its really loud. This should not matter because you will have a mic on your cab. Just keep the gain below 11 o'clock

You seem to have missed the point that the Stamp is a fully fledged amplifier that is outputting to a speaker cabinet. There would be no sense in A/Bing with and without the amplifier as the pedals alone wouldn't drive a speaker cab.

@@ScienceofLoud I apologize, of course I completely missed that fact. I was under the impression everything was running via the Return on one of the heads in the back.

That's why you go buy an amp that _can_ stand up to a full band, when you're that good.

It's not solid state, it's hybrid.

I meant like people with their own office, like a manager or something, not like a cubicle worker. Lots of people take their hobby to their office.

Because it's a good chorus and I'm lucky enough to have been gifted the last special edition black one TC had at their HQ in Denmark.

@@ScienceofLoud cool man

One day Ola Englund (I think it was him) did this and suddenly ironic consumption of the Metal Zone was over. That, and the improved Waza version.

For my money, this is where the tone starts to appeal to me. And I still have my Metal Zone from the '90s, and it still sounds killer pushing another power stage into overdrive+

Metal Zone is a pre-amp pedal. Using it as such is how you do it. 🤘💥

There's every possibility other manufacturers will come out with similar products as it looks like the Stamp is proving very popular.

patience, my friend.

Hey, how loud is it with semi clean sound?

This

A micro dark with a tweaked gain structure.

You are part of a large community you didn't even know about.

Blug's AMP 1 is a fantastic bit of kit (and he's a cool guy to hang with), sounds like you have a killer rig. Of course, there's always room for another miniature board in your life.

Look into the Quilter Interbass! It's a 45 watt solid state bass amp with more features and a slightly smaller footprint. I have their guitar version, the Interblock 45. I was looking between these orange Stamps and the Quilter for a pedalboard rig and ran into a great deal for the Interblock and I don't really think I'd trade it for one of these, especially since I already have a micro terror.

I have a micro terror and I may convert to this for the effect loop.

Just did exactly this and have to say the tone isn't exactly the same because the eq is replaced with a shape knob that only adjusts the mids. Depending on tone that could work for you tho. Or just throw in an eq pedal

It's a pedal version of the Micro Dark, despite it's white enclosure.

you could probably throw an eq pedal into the setup to shape the sound

Sean Griffey They are fine without a load connected because of the solid state power section, it’s only with a valve output transformer that a load needs to be connected

So, kinda what Synergy are doing?

It's a single channel amplifier. I hope this helps.

It is extremely similar.

I was shocked when I saw it for the first time at NAMM, I expected it to be bigger.

To both: THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.

You should be able to run out of the Effects Loop Send into a separate and more powerful power amp. Then you'd be bypassing the Terror Stamp's power section and just using the preamp section.

I'm also interested to record direct and i think you can use the headphone out with cab sim. I would like to use the line out instead without cab sim and go to m'y torpedo cab M for proper cab sound. But not sure yet if it works well.

Use the send and then use an ir in your daw

Oh and with two preamp tubes

Rocker 32. All tube huge sounding 2x10 combo. It has two separate 15w power amps in one combo. Perfect for ambient stuff. Ask me how I know.

No one cares.

Don't connect a cab. Run FX Send to DAW. Apply Cab IR. You have silent bedroom recording rig.
