Who has owned / tried an Orange Dark Terror head ?

I tried the Tiny Terror, Dark Terror and OR15 side by side in a shop (so not at massive volume.)
The OR15 was the only one I almost liked, but it still had too much gain.

There is no such thing as too much gain!

The Dark Terror is the worse sounding valve amp I have ever tried ... and I'm not a fussy guy .... I plugged it into my cab at a gig when my HT5 appeared dead and was so appalled at the sound I decided I would rather fix the HT5 there and then

Was that a full-size Dark Terror? When you mentioned it before I thought you meant the Micro Dark.

I haven't played a Micro Dark, but the standard Micro Terror is literally the worst-sounding amp I've ever heard.

I've just looked .... it's a Dark Terror that's switchable between 7 and 15 watts

I spose there might be some high gain goodness in there but it's not for me

I'd say this was too much gain
