That would be great. Except I don't live near any Orange dealers, so I'll probably buy it used off ebay or at humbucker music.

So, it's my belief that tone is in the soap.
Thank you and goodnight.

Be careful about getting a cab as the Tiny Terror and all other orange heads (and combos) run on 16ohm so most cabs won't be suitable to run through. My suggestion would be either an orange cab or an avatar cab or similar.

the Orange FAQ actually says that Orange heads can be used with a single 16 ohm or 8 ohm cab.

The short answer is yes it is going to give you more volume and a noticeably bigger fuller sound. Are you planning on using this amp set overdriven? I know one thing I've heard about the Tiny Terror is that it doesn't sound very good clean, it's not designed for that.

I use a Fender Pro Jr. (which I like a LOT better than the Blues Jr personally, much more of a marshall type sound with better mids) and plugged into another cab it is much louder and has a much tighter low end.

Avatar is a great way to go for speaker cabs! I'd recommend the one with one V30 and one G12-H30 or two greenbacks. I've also heard good things about one V30 and one greenback but I've never tried that.

Overdriven is my main idea, I've got an RP200, so I'm not worried about cleans. Avatar cabs seem good, and they do come in orange. But for the price, they seem too good to be true. Am I right?

You're right that they seem to good to be true...but they really are known for quality cabinets My 1x15" bass cab is one of the very few Avatar horror stories around.
