Ah, alright. I don't know... I think Orange kind of missed the mark on this one. At least for me....

This place has already listed them:

That price seems to be more than that amp is worth. 900 bucks will buy a lot of amplifier in the used market.... a whole lot. Perhaps if the Dual Terror was down around 750 or so, it might seem more reasonable. However, I would pay that much for it, had Orange done the following:

- A wooden box like the rest of their amps. The metal lunchbox thingy looked okay for the TT, but I think it should have ended there.
- Dedicated 'Clean' and 'Dirty' channels.
- Real EQ's.....
- And if they were feeling really generous, and effects loop.

Basically, I'm looking for a Tiny Rockerverb. Mmmmmm, Rockerverb.

In reality, the Tiny Terror is a bit of a one-trick-pony. This amp seems to kind of be an extension of that, but at an over-extended price.

I dunno. We'll see what they do on the used market....

Yeah...I'm so torn right now. I need something that I can use at church for prasie and worship. This will mostly be a clean channel that I punch my stompboxes into. But then I also want the amp that I can crank some gain into. Think tone like Brand New/Classic Crime/Underoath. The stuff I write is kinda up that alley.

The Hughes and Kettiner has been a GREAT road horse but it's just messing a little extra umph.

Any thoughts?

Yeah, here's a thought....

If this place ships to the US, the current exchange rate would make it 250 bucks less than that other place...

Hey mulletman, the Tiny Terror isn't switchable between the two channels is it?

Thats a dual terror, which is.

**tenwatt** · 01-26-2009, 09:01 AM

Yup...I know the Dual Terror is...but mulletman owns a Tiny Terror and I was currious if it was switchable.

Nope. The Tiny Terror is single channel, no footswitch of any kind. It's about the simplest amp you'll find. No effects loop, single channel, three knobs. That's all. To me, that's a big plus. I turn it on, and it gives me great tone. I don't have to mess with it, and search for something that sounds good.
