You love your cherished vintage and boutique amplifiers , and there is no sound more satisfying than letting a chord ring out , filling the room with harmonics and raw emotion . However , amps are electronic devices , and are subject to failure at any time . Sometimes , the moment that should have been a transcendent out-ofbody experience fails to come to fruition because your guitar sounds like a fart . If your amp fails because of a bad tube , you ’ re going to need a backup . Most of us don ’ t want to spend a lot of dough on backups , and that ’ s fine . There are plenty of cheap options out there to assist you in your time of need . For example , the Orange Micro Terror provides 20 watts , and it even has a 12AX7 tube , all for the price of a pedal at $ 150 . And it sounds pretty freaking good . As Dr . Steve Brule would say , just keep one in your bag , dingus !
