The dual terror has good cleans but it's more powerful than the TT. (more headroom).I find it very versatile and worth the extra over the TT. I too looked at the Thunder and was very tempted, especially because it has a loop.
Glad your happy though :D

The Dual Terror does seem quite nice but I've never tried it so I can't really give an opinion on it. The 2 channels and extra headroom sure looks like it'd make a nice difference. I still feel that the gain isn't versatile enough though. On the Tiny Terror and Dual Terror the the gain seems to open to go into even 80s metal territory and the Dark Terror is way too dark and compressed for my liking. Of course, this is only my opinion and I'm referring to it in terms of how it'd suit MY needs alone. If someone else like it and it suit them well I'm very happy for them. The tones that they are capable of sound really nice. It's just that they are capable of enough for me if they can't stay clean. That why I never buy amps that are under 30w.

Glad you like your choice of BKPs!

That review got me gassing for an Emerald neck to replace the Cold Sweat neck in the PRS Custom - the Holydiver bridge is already there - let's see whether I still got a guitar where I could use the Cold Sweat neck as a bridge pickup.

Cheers Stephan

Sorry about the late reply.
I've got a feeling that Emerald would especially in a Custom 24 and, of course, they're the Perfect match for the Holy Diver Bridge. Mine actually came out slightly overwound at 10k rather than 9.6k and my Holy Diver came out at 15.6k. Of course, I don't mind the Emerald being slightly overwound, I actually prefer mid-high output/overwound pickups as long as they retain vintage qualities/characteristics + I think the the Emerald being overwound helps close the big gap in output between the neck and bridge. I think that it make as even better combination than the calibrated Holy Diver set because of the output differences.
