NAMM 2018: Orange unleashes Brent Hinds Terror signature amp
Mastodon guitarist gives popular head a new personality
NAMM 2018: Orange has announced a new take on its popular Terror amp series for Mastodon’s Brent Hinds.
The Brent Hinds Terror features two channels and a new gain structure: the natural channel has more bottom-end, while the overall gain sensitivity is higher to brighten up at lower levels and fatten up as it’s dialled in.

Power switching from 15 to 7, 1 and 0.5W is onboard, taking the EL84-fuelled output down to bedroom levels - there’s even a headroom/bedroom switch around the back of the amp.
It’s not just the tone that’s been redesigned, either; Brent’s distinctive facial tattoo appears on the front of the amp, while the Mastodon logo adorns the rear.
The Brent Hinds Terror is available now for £569/$749 - see Orange Amps for more info.
