FS: Orange Brent Hinds Terror (i.e. tweaked Rocker 15)

guitargeek62 · July 16

Raising funds for a Bad Cat:

This thing probably suffers from the artist association, as it's capable of a lot more than Mastodon-type riffage! The Natural channel apes that of the original Rocker 30 and introduces some gorgeous chime and crunch once you move past ~10 o'clock; I tend to leave the amp on this 99% of the time and run pedals into it for heavier sounds. The Dirty channel has masses of range in the EQ and gain controls, and happily defaults to JCM-esque tones.

The secret-weapon on this amp is the bedroom/headroom switch which essentially drops the max. output from 15w to 1w, which can then be halved all over again using the front-mounted half/full mode (i.e. you have 15/7/1/0.5w output modes available!). The bedroom mode does not inhibit the tone at all, and keeps everything incredibly usable at home neighbour-friendly volumes.

The original soft carry case is here as well and will come with the amp.

Official blurb:

FROM BEDROOM TO HEADROOM
This amp 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 (Note: underlined parts highlight key differences to the Rocker 15 that this is based on)
The ‘Natural’ channel features just one control for volume and is voiced with more bottom end as per Brent’s specification. Cleaner settings produce clear, glistening tones whilst cranking the volume brings through 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
At Orange, we expect our amps to work for a living. For the best possible tone and durability, this Terror uses the same proprietary transformers found in all of our iconic Terror Series (excluding the Dual Terror) Like our latest flagship valve amp heads, this Terror does away with plastic connector blocks and ribbon cables in favour of hand-soldered flying leads. The chassis-mounted switchgear is secured to the classic Terror series enclosure. As for the amp’s effects loop, we’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 we continue that theme on the settings markers. This amp carries Brent’s uniqueness stylistically as well as tonally.
