Re: Cool video about the life of the Tiny Terror

Sweet video man, it was cool to school up on some of the Tiny Terror's history, I use mine almost every day! You really can't beat something that gives you so many great tones & so much horsepower in such a small, simple, and easy to use package! The design is just epic in its simplicity & getting a look @ the original mock up sheet & inside one of the original prototypes was pretty awesome too! Now getting my hands on one of those prototypes would be even more epic but I don't expect they'll be turning up on Reverb or eBay anytime soon???

Even when I'm running another amp as my "primary" I've typically got the T.T. pushing a Greenback stocked 2X12 next to it. I like to set it to where it's just starting to break up (typically plugged straight in but sometimes with a E.Q. & Reverb pedal in front of it) so I can kick over to her via a A/B box for those dynamic "dirty cleans" while running one of my 6V6 amps for my "very cleans" with a good stompbox or two for crazy high gain dirt, metal & other modern distortion stuff?


LOL, I think I'd probably sell my sister for that hand wired "Shiny Teror" & matching Racing Green 2X10 cabinet!!! Holy $#!+ that thing is beautiful! I think the only way it could look better is if it were sitting in my living room!!! Oh, & to be fair I'd probably sell my sister for a handful of picks & pack of strings if you caught me on the right day!!!

Very cool to hear the designer's thoughts on it and how the gain works

I like the part when he says that he didn't want it any bigger than the paper it was drawn on. Kind of Spinal Tap-ish.

I love mine, for a tiny, light amp it gets a great 70's Black Sabbath tone, and adding a treble booster sends it into Judas Priest territory. It sounds meaner than a Marshall.

I'll be picking up a Micro Dark soon

I'm surprised they're discontinuing them! I don't own one but I've had fun messing about with them.

Interesting video. "First three AC/DC albums and Never Mind the Bollocks, that's what it does."

I guess that's why I like mine so much, although I consider it AC/DC to Black Sabbath.

I wish they'd replace it with the exact same amp, only bigger w/FX loop. "The Giant Terror"
This time, it should have two octal tube sockets for EL-34's, 6L6, 6V6, an external or self biasing circuit, and be a 30 watter in a larger head box. They'd sell a metric ton of 30W Giant Terrors.

I'd probably throw down cash on a giant terror, great idea.

This is pretty much the amp people have wanted for ten years.

I don't really understand what Orange is doing. If I were in the market for a hand-wired amp, a 15w lunchbox wouldn't be my first choice. Discontinuing their most popular amp also seems strange, although there'll pretty much always be a used market for them.

All that said, the people at Orange are all much better businessmen than I, and know much more about the subject than I do.

Wouldn't be shocked if that isn't whats coming next. Give it a year, maybe two to get people missing the TT then come out with a bigger badder brother with many of the desired upgrades.

Thanks!! Mucho Bueno-er! Lol

Re: Cool video about the life of the Tiny Terror

I guess the odd part is, the albums he references are all done with marshalls, no? Or did the sex pistols use oranges? (Found an article - it was a fender). So its gain is based on a Marshall and a Fender.
