Orange Brent Hinds Terror Guitar Amplifier Head (15 Watts)

No longer available at zZounds
Terrorize the world at any of 4 selectable wattages with the Orange Brent Hinds Terror -- a hard-rocking two-channel head that roars at any volume.

With its own voice and character, the Orange Brent Hinds Terror is its own beast. Designed in collaboration with Mastodon's Brent Hinds, the amp features two channels and a new gain structure that makes it a completely unique Terror.

A True Channel-Switching Terror

The single control on the natural channel has been redesigned with more bottom end, but retains the finely-balanced and highly-playable character of the Rocker series. The dirty channel has a different 3-stage gain structure. It's brighter at lower gain levels and fattens-up the more you dial the gain in. The new gain structure also means that the gain comes in more quickly.

Power switching options of 0.5, 1, 7 or 15 watts make it perfect for bedroom, studio, and stage. Using the beefy Terror transformers, the Brent Hinds Terror is able to take full advantage of the EL84 output section, giving players the ability to create warm valve compression and saturation at neighbor friendly volume.

From Bedroom to Headroom

The Brent Hinds Terror switches between 15, 7, 1 and half a Watt. When in Bedroom mode, the circuit has been designed to retain the springiness and feel that we love about valve amps, a sensation that often gets lost with some attenuator designs. This makes for great tones in the practice room or in the studio, with the option to step up a gear to full power 15 Watt mode for the stage.

Twin Channel Design

The 'Natural' channel features just one control for volume and is voiced with more bottom read more end as per Brent's specification. Cleaner settings produce clear, glistening tones whilst cranking the volume brings through the a darker but still very British crunch that loves to be kicked harder with boost and overdrive pedals. The 'Dirty' channel is more familiar with Gain, Master Volume and a three band EQ. The differently designed three stage gain structure means that the dirty channel has a brightness at lower volume levels that fattens up and you dial in the gain. (Optional FS-1 footswitch sold separately)

Engineered to Be Played

For the best possible tone and durability, the Brent Hinds Terror uses the same proprietary transformers found in all of Orange's iconic Terror Series. Like their latest flagship valve amp heads, the Brent Hinds Terror does away with plastic connector blocks and ribbon cables in favor of hand-soldered flying leads. The chassis-mounted switchgear is secured to the classic Terror series enclosure. As for the amp's effects loop, they've opted to keep the signal path all-valve to preserve the amp's tonal integrity.

Brent Hinds "Tattoo" Styling

The Brent Hinds Terror not only carries Brent's signature it also bears his facial tattoo. The tribal imagery adorns the front of the chassis and continues that theme on the settings markers. This amp carries Brent's uniqueness stylistically as well as tonally.

I've had lots of amps, some big and some small - This is one of my most anticipated and self-hyped releases orange has ever done. Now let me make something clear with a disclaimer - I am primarily a doom and stoner rock musician, so I was in the market for an Orange anyways. It's hard to see myself playing many other kinds of amps as my primary brand, but this is also the first orange that I've owned. I am also a Mastodon fan, a HUGE Mastodon fan. I think they have some of the most crushing and awesome guitar tones on the planet. This amp doesn't disappoint on those promises and more.Now you may be thinking this is just a Rocker 15 with a fresh skin, but it's pretty much a completely different amp. Lots of Marshall characteristics break through this from head to toe (unsurprising as Brent is a huge user of Marshall plexis and the like), and the gain on this goes pretty heavy for doom and stoner like tones, but not bone crushing chigging like you'd expect. This is remedied with a boost, but also a reminder that Mastodon doesn't play with...well really all that much gain. Cranking the Master volume up brings nice and much appreciated tube saturation, and will peel paint from the walls if you aren't careful. This also brings a nice come around to the Headroom/Bedroom switch. An Orange with a built in Attenuator? Yes please! Sure I'd have loved a knob like on the Rockerverbs but at this price I can't complain. Mind you even at .5W this thing is still incredibly loud when turned up. read more Great feature all the same and I'm loving it every step.There's lots more I could say; the stylistic amp choices, the amazing "Natural" Channel (sure its clean but not very. Not an issue though, no one is buying oranges for pristine cleans), and the amazing build quality that makes it feel like you have a piece of a tank sitting on your cab. The big takeaway is that if you are looking for an amp that combines the amazing bark of a Marshall and the grind of an orange with a versatile platform, this is it. Get one and strap in, you're in for a great ride.
