Orange's smallest Terror covers desktop practice through to small stages, with recording-friendly outputs on the back.
Orange has added the Baby Terror to its Baby series, a 20-watt micro head that carries the same tone-shaping controls as its bigger siblings, but in a package small enough to live in a gig bag. It’s an all-solid-state design with JFET circuitry, so the valve-free build keeps the weight and size down without giving up the front-panel control Orange players expect.

Gain, Volume, a three-band EQ and a Presence knob make up the front panel, along with a Tubby switch that adds low-end richness at cleaner gain settings, handy for fattening up a clean or edge-of-breakup tone. A second, footswitchable volume handles lead boosts, stepping the level up for a solo without changing the character of the sound.
Around the back, the Baby Terror is set up with an effects loop, a balanced line out with a ground lift for clean recording or running to a desk, and an 8/16-ohm speaker output for matching different cabinets. That line out makes it a tidy option for home recording too, going straight to an interface without needing a mic on a cab.
At 20 watts it’s aimed at desktop practice, small rehearsal rooms and stages, with a solid-state build that keeps it dependable on the road. A padded gig bag comes in the box, which fits the grab-and-go idea behind it. Orange hasn’t tied the amp to any one style, so it covers clean and dirty ground across genres.
The Baby Terror is available now through Australis Music Group.
