I was about to make an Irish joke when I decided to google the name tiny terror

Found this

now that sounds like an interesting amp.

Do you have a local stockist?

There is one in tallaght up the road from me.... and thats it, but i don't think they'll have it in yet, no harm in trying though.

Seems like a great price to me to be honest! :D

I've been considering 1 of these myself for a while now. After checking the prices on GAK, I could get a Tiny Terror head and an Orange 1x12 cab (could also use with my current Orange head) for £498 in total. Looks like a great price to me! :D

it only has one tone control, no low mids or highs, damn, but then again, my be the exact sound i'm looking for, it's a better price from the zvex nano too and can do cleans.

The fewer controls the better AFAIC, much more difficult to f*ck up the tone!

I seem to have a knack for finding all the settings at which perfectly good amps sound utterly horrible....

I couldn't agree more Philly- less is definately more so long as the amp has a good basic tone.

The review and clips on the new Guitarist CD are seriously dangerous. Don't buy the magazine as it'll cost you 299 GBP in the end !!

exactly... the epi valve junior is around £100... granted it has less knobs... but yeah, the orange TT would need to be noticeably better to warrant the extra cash. I haven't tried the TT, by the way, maybe it rules.

£500 will buy you a lot of amp, though, if you're willing to go with a combo...

for example, with £500 I could buy an Epi VJ for home use, a laney vc30 for gigs, and have £100 left over to cover the vc30 footswitch, a speaker upgrade, and a (cheap-ish) overdrive pedal. you could run the VJ through the vc30 speaker, too.

I currently do have (apart from my Orange and Marshall heads) a Marshall JTM60 combo, which is more than loud enough for most gigs.

I've found that I just prefer the sound of my Orange amp, it just seems to suit me better.

My main gigging amp currently is an Orange AD30 head, with either the Marshall combo used as a 1x12 cab, or with a 2x12 cab.

By buying the Tiny Terror and a 1x12 cab, I'd have the option of using the cab with either head for gigging or recording etc, and it'd be a nice neat little setup.

Whereas Orange combos are above £600, so are kinda out of my price range.

^ ah, ok cool, I didn't realise your situation. :oops:

Go with the Tiny Terror, then, it sounds like a plan!

:drink:

No worries mate.

I think I will go with a Tiny Terror and an Award Session 1x12 cab with a Vintage 30 speaker :twisted:

After I order my Mules anyway 8) :D
