ORANGE TERROR STAMP
The Tiny Terror revolutionised the small amp game when it arrived, and now Orange is looking to do the same with the emerging trend for pedalboard amps. The Terror Stamp uses a hybrid design, incorporating an ECC83 valve preamp with a solid-state class A/B power section to give you a 20-watt Terror at your feet. It’s equipped with a switchable master volume control (for pseudo-two-channel operation), again control and orange’s classic tone shape feature. On the back is an effects loop, speaker output, and an emulated CabSim headphone output. If you thought pedalboard amps were just a passing phase, the Terror Stamp might convince you to dip your toe!
POSITIVE GRID SPARK 40
A practice amp equipped with an app for accessing more tones than you’re ever going to need? Yep, we’ve seen that before. But, as well as this, the latest offering from Positive Grid also looks to revolutionize the way we practice by giving us the tools we need to jam in a way no other amp currently does.
As well as listening to the incoming audio from your guitar to give you a tailor-made backing track to play over, the Spark can hook up to major streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube and intelligently decipher the chord chart from popular songs.
In addition, it can also act as your audio interface for recording, and even responds to voice commands! We’ve seen it in action and can confirm that it really does work. Get ready for one of the 2020s most exciting new products.
