Rewddawg1 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I am gassing for a tiny terror amp head. The 15W/7W version. I have heard good reviews on them but at $550 plus for the head only is it worth the money. All thoughts and comments are welcome. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/TinyTerror/ Thanks Rewd.

Silenced Fred Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 If you like it, then it is worth it. Personally, I don't think the Tiny Terror is worth it. On the other hand... I think that the Dual Terror is worth it! The ability to footswitch channels and go up to 30 watts has sold me on it. I just need to get the money now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Get it, i belive its better then the night train. Night train kinda sucks for metal. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewddawg1 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 I'm not looking for all those watts it's more of a practice amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewddawg1 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 Okay, I'm pretty much looking for a good quality low watt amp to hook up to my B-52 ext. cab but can overdrive it without using 30-60 watts see my gear in sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I'm not looking for all those watts it's more of a practice amp. For a practice? What kind of practice? With a band' date=' or in your basement? If its just you, it will be loud as sh¡t! Dem00n- if your only basis for the Night train is that it sucks for metal, then how can you say it sucks in general? What if he doesn't play metal? I can get some pretty heavy sounds out of it, and probably with the right pedals, make it sound metal-ish. A 335 isn't the best for metal probably, but does that mean it sucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameslucascalvert Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I wanted a Tiny Terror pretty badly, but after doing some research, I found out they are made in Korea. It's not widely known, because Orange doesn't want it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more interested in the 7 watt mode with the option to go to 15 watts. Is the 7 watt mode too loud for a half basement fixed up room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think its pretty fricking loud. Since its for practice, honestly, take a look at some of the new offerings. The Blackstar HT-5 is really nice, and five watts. Great amp. Try one out for yourself and see how it is. If you don't mind having the master volume lower, than just cranking the gain to get a distortion, it might work out for you.

Rewddawg1 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 I' ve heard about blackstar too but my guy where I do most of my business doesn't carry them. Maybe I can talk him into looking into it. I know Orange claims that the way they measure wattage is almost twice what most manufacturers claim.

Rewddawg1 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 My guy will let me take one home and test drive before I buy. That's the good thing about having good relations with a mom and pop shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwness Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I have the TT and love it. Buy the head the combo's don't sound as good. I use it all the time with my 50 watt Marshall when I jam with friends. They are not very versatile as far as tone goes but it does what it does just great. I just bought a Blackstar HT-5 head off CL for a steal their 400 new. 2 channel 5 watts and it has control to go from US to British and effects loop. great little amp.

Dub-T-123 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Dem00n have you played through a Night Train? They get pretty heavily distorted on the thick mode. Reddawg you should check out a Night Train too. They do jangley Vox cleans to really thick tubey distortion. I know I seem like a Vox fanboy but it's a great amp. Edit: sorry I didn't see that you actually wanted to play metal. I thought dem00n just said that because he's a metal head. I think the Orange is your best bet. Orange rocks!

[/quote'] Go listen to one yourself. I say this because the TT does orange very well. I play rock and use it for leads and the Marshalls for everything else. I bought the Blackstar to use in place of the Marshalls. The IFS control work really well to give you a Marshall sound or a real good Mesa. I really like the TT for leads. It responds very well to volume control changes. I paid 250 for the Blackstar great bang for the buck, 2 months old on CL. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't currently live very close to a dealer with the Blackheart line of amps. Sounds definately worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
