My approach:
Pedals are a option where you pre-set for the sound, and then hit the switch.
Guitars is, you gotta tweak in real time.
Re the Tiny Terror, I usually use the 7 watt setting, because I can start with the volume 100%.
On the 15 watt setting, I put all knobs on 11 first, then set the amount of gain distortion while adjusting the master to keep the volume level where I want it. I kinda adjust the tone last.
7 vs. 15 watts is different, with the latter being heftier, and niticeable louder – drives the speaker different, also. I have, BTW, a Jet City 1×10″ onnit.
Re Orange pedals in particular, I’m sure the Stamp is like you say, to impart a Orange sound to other amps, or power amps, mebbe DI.
The Two-Stroke is ingenious and if I had found it sooner I might have built my board onnit, despite its size. It is first a clean boost – if I recall, like 20 dB – definitely audible and can do good things to the amp re hitting its pre harder. That’s with the E flat.
But the EQ is the point of it, really, and its’ strong.
There’s a sweepable hi, and a sweepable low. Not only is the center-point frequency selectable, but also the Q. And it gives add or cut volume to that part the EQ designates – the cut is as beautiful as the frequency boost. It’s easy to make a h-bucker sound Strat, by setting a wide Q and using the low adjustment to turn down at, say, 60Hz., you can make a high-pass filter. Or do the opposite on the right-side knobs and make a LPF.
But while it can “sound Orange”, it certainly doesn’t have to.
I’ll write about the Fur Coat when I geddit, likely next week as our PO is unpredictable and I think that’s how it was sent.
