ORANGE MT20 MICRO TERROR – TINY AMP, ENORMOUS TONE!
The Micro Terror is a global phenomenon, a true Orange Amp classic with masses of vintage British tonal character. Taking its inspiration from the original Tiny Terror, this pint-sized powerhouse couples a valve preamp to a solid state output section for enormous tones that make punches well above its weight.
A single 12AX7/ECC83 valve gives the Micro Terror preamp two stages of gain based on the voicing of the front end of the original Tiny Terror head. Weighing in at under 1kg, the Micro Terror is arguably the most portable amp head on the market. When paired with its matching PPC108 cabinet, the Micro Terror’s Aux Input and Headphone output make it a perfect practice partner, small enough for even the most cluttered sideboard.
However, don’t be fooled by its miniature footprint because size is the only thing that is small about this amp. With a high tensile steel casing, the Micro Terror is built to the same high standards as the rest of the Terror family and features a single ECC83 (12AX7) preamp valve, coupled to a solid state power amp.
The depth of sound (and volume) that this little thing pushes out is truly staggering, with Orange growl and bite in abundance. What’s more, the Micro Terror can be used with any 8-16 Ohm speaker cabinet including a Quad Box!
The Most Compact and Portable Terror Amp
Inspired by the Tiny Terror, the diminutive Orange Micro-Terror is a game-changing ‘lunchbox’ amplifier and the original micro amp.
Pure Valve Driven Preamp
A single 12AX7 (ECC83) valve in the preamp delivers big tones into a small package. Huge harmonics and dynamics from a really tiny amp. Hearing is believing!
20 Watts RMS Output
The solid state power amp punches out a gutsy 20 watts RMS. The Micro-Terror is more than capable of powering any cab with an impedance of 8 or 16 Ohms including Quad Boxes such as the PPC412! Paired with its matching PPC108 cabinet, the Micro Terror is the perfect practice partner.
Auxiliary Input
The Micro-Terror features a 3.5mm AUX jack allowing you to connect your phone or audio player. You can then jam along with your favourite music.

Finally, this is what the folks at Premier Guitar Mag had to say about the Micro-Terror:
“For serious Orange fans, the Micro Terror’s adorably raging looks might be reason enough to reach for their wallets, but it’s the wealth of surprisingly smooth tones and reasonable price that put the cool factor way over the edge. Few amps in this price range offer what it does in terms of tone, build, and fun. But it’s also easy to see the Micro Terror finding a home in studios where big tones at mellow volumes come in handy. At its core, however, the Micro Terror is a great practice amp loaded with charm and satisfying tones at an extremely satisfying price.”
