Orange Tiny Terror.

[TheBoss84]

Hey guys i wrote another thread about buying a peavey classic. I changed my mind and im really looking into the Orange. What are your thoughts about this amp? It would be perfect for me because i can carry it as handbagage.

Thanks!

I think they're a little overpriced for what they are, but I really, really like mine.

It's definitely very British. Dark, crunchy, overdrive (Zep, Van Halen, Sabbath) style tones. The cleans aren't anything to write home about, but they're useable. The overdriven tone is just heaven though. I've got mine loaded with JJ EL84's and Tung-Sol 12AX7's, and I'm totally happy. This is the tone I've been hearing in my head since I started playing.

It's also pretty versatile. I can do anything from BOC to Electric Wizard with mine.

I would buy another one in a heartbeat if they weren't so expensive.

I have been demo'ing a TT locally. It's a nice little unit. They are coming out with a combo soon. If you can live with one channel. It has very usable tone.

Aren't they only around $500?

Mmmmmmm combo sounds quite interesting. I hope they can keep the cost reasonable with that too.

After I had mine shipped to me and everything - more like $575.

Not really expensive, but it ain't cheap, either. You know?

There arent alot of good tube heads you can get for that price.
I wish I could justify getting one.

1st - convince yourself that your tone is not good enough
2nd - look at pictures of the amp and price them up, compare the list price to what you can get it for and think to yourself, "Man! what a good deal I can get."
3rd - put something up for sale in classified and say, "im not really spending any more money, because I am using money from selling old gear."

repeat steps 1-3 as needed
