Orange Amplification Origins
Orange Amplification was founded in London in 1968 by Cliff Cooper, quickly gaining fame for its bright orange tolex and high-gain British-voiced circuits used by 1970s rock acts.
Terror Series Launch
The Terror series debuted in the mid-2000s as a line of affordable, compact tube amps; the Dual Terror model combined two foot-switchable channels into a single 15-watt head, using a pair of EL84 tubes for dynamic response.
Notable Users and Evolution
Players such as Omar Rodríguez-López of The Mars Volta and members of Mastodon have relied on Dual Terror heads for their distinctive saturated crunch in both studio and live settings, while later revisions added improved transformers and bias options.
