Hi welcome,


Rocker 15 or 32 would be your best bet imo ......will be excellent at classic rock / contemporary blues rock and have an fx loop.....plus the 15 has a low volume bedroom setting.

Out of your choice, the dual Terror or tiny Terror would get u them tones very well but no fx loop...... The Or 15 has more gain than the terrors - I've never used one- but should also be very good and does have a loop, personally I've never found low wattage single channel valve amps very versatile although still produce great tone ....I still think the Rocker 15 or 32 is your best option.

I read somewhere that a Jim Root & OR15 are the same Amp?,if this is true that narrows it down a bit.

Yes and no. Same design, voiced different.

I would agree with Ronnie and would add I preferred the Jim Root Terror over the other Terrors.

Don't expect all your overdrive pedals to work with an Orange as they do with other amps. Some may work fine but many others just don't work too well at all. Mainly due to the unusual (low / low mids heavy) Orange signature tones.

In fact many people just stick to their Orange's own overdrive - something special anyway.

(I do use other pedals too, but not always needed, and FWIW I never ever miss an FX loop! )

Touché. I find the best thing with an Orange is a good boost pedal over an overdrive, or an overdrive set clean with a touch of dirt if needed.

On Toby's Guitar Gear he has a good video of the OR15, Root and Tiny Terror. I wish he had some videos of the dark terror and the dual. his gear demo's are some of the best and most straightforward you'll find on youtube.
