If anyones looking for a slightly cheaper TT brand new then look here:

http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/Guitars/Electric_Guitars/Guitar_Amps/Electric_Guitar_Amps/sc1066/p5335.aspx

£269.99 with free delivery!

It would be remiss of me not to mention that I ordered my "in stock" TT from Nevada over 2 weeks ago and it still hasn't arrived.  They say it was returned to them, but the courier company never left me a card. :?

They said they'd re-send it straight away, but that was on Tuesday and it isn't here yet.  I don't know if the couriers really $%&#ed up or if Nevada were just lying... seemed odd that it had "just turned up" on the day I chased.

Although I did get a Parcelforce card yesterday - with no tracking/consignment number (arseholes), but that could be something else.

lol sounds like a Nevada slip up to me. Could be Parcelforce's fault though that would only work if that's the only thing your expecting from them.

tried a minimat and decided i'd rather just use my JMP50 at low volume levels. really dissapointing.


Exactly the same here, i have a marshall powerbreak though to play at home. To me the TT/Mata sound like a 'diet amp', and if i can choose between a light version and the real saturated PHAT i dont have a hard time choosing, soundwise that is offcourse  :lol: )

what do you find 'light' about the TT? if you're on about the lack of knobs and buttons then you are very much mistaken on that point imo. I find it just makes it impossible to $%&# up your tone.
tbh i'm actually tempted to start a boycott on multi channel bells and whistles - style amps as the TT goes to a perfect clean from the highest gain setting using my volume control and I have CWPs.

Don't know about the Minimat, but the Tiny Terror does sound big enough on the 15W setting. It's open, punchy, deep and direct. However, at very low volume, I also prefer my 50/100W tops, it's rather at medium volume where the smaller amps really shine.

OK, maybe im kinda stuck on certain gear, ill admit to that. BUT, i do read people looking for an amp to use at home and people advising the TT which is absolute ($@& IMHO. Yes the TT is to be considered 'light' gear(me making a 'diet' link is beside the point), like hunter and more people said you probably will find a unique 'sweet spot' but that is another matter IMHO.

My response wasnt even meant that serious, but since it is wrongly taken that way, i was pointing out that IMHO the TT is a nice amp, but certainly not an amp to advice to an average 'home' guitarist. I know my marshall can sound good at any volume setting, thats what makes it so versatile, this does not count for the TT, it sounds $)(I% at 'living room' volume.

So ok, thats enough swearing out of me, this was my point, im sorry i wasnt clear enough ill use the IMHO more often since it is my opinion and i have a right to state that opinion IMHO> :wink:

That makes sense... :) I tried the TT in my local shop but it was with a new (never been tuned..) Epi Lp w/stock Pu's and after 2 hours in a traffic jam,i was not in the right mood  :x Anyway,it sounded good for riffing and rythm but not very good for Lead...but that could be the Epi Pu's..?

It only seems a few weeks ago that Matamps were "flavour of the month" here - now seems the opposite  :?  :?  :?

Obviously i did or i wouldnt say that. I had a go at it with the 1x12 cab that comes with it. Used a conservative TV volume setting with an epi les paul.

If you like an overly present, crunchy tone, and are able to crank the amp at say noonish volume its a ball. BUT if you put a not properly setup, or just some stock epi into it, i got a very compressed lame tone which turned fissy or squeely when opening the gain/tone stages. Still i could manage to find a compromise, but thats all it was, a compromise. The 7w setting was simply horrible, i couldnt even get a 'normal' clean tone.

Im not amazed you like the TT, but howmany people have A) the guitar to take that amount of presence without making a mess of it and B) the skill to make it sing. Not many IMHO.

My comment about the TT is heavily coloured by my practical approach and it is not a practical amp IMHO.

what!!

are you mad has to be one of the most practical amps I've had....used it with BKP'ed guitars and cheap squires sounds great with both...tried loud through a cheap, then an expensive 4x12 and at home through a 1 x12 still sings....think you must have tried a dodgy one, if there is such a thing

Well i dont know the scematics, but the 7w setting sounded so bad i did think it was dodgy, still its a $500 amp and it should be in perfect new condition shouldnt it?

The fact that it has little knobs doesnt mean its practical, the toneknob seems to be the mid adjustment and you cant balance the highs and lows with it, not practical IMO.
