EVERY ONE and their dogs are now jumping on the mirco amp Band Wagon :scratchch
If one does it, the rest must do it too . . .

Re: Attack of the killer micro heads!
Funny thing is . . .
. . . Orange came out with the very 1st Toaster amp, and not soon afterwards, EVERY ONE started making 'em !
NOW, again, Orange came out with the valve-pre/SS-power Micro Amp, and now the rest of the amp world is about to follow and jump on the proverbial band wagon.

Re: Attack of the killer micro heads!
that looks very awesome, I'm actually thinking of getting the 6505 whenever they get available, great price too.
some questions:
1. This doesn't seem to have a standby switch, do I still need to wait for the single tube to warm up?
2. I guess it is, but will it be loud enough to jam (eventually gig) with a band trough a 4x12?
thanks for answers and can't wait to get similiar tones to those amazing big peavey heads on a budget

Re: Attack of the killer micro heads!
Standby switches control the tube power amp section. Since this is solid state, you won't need it.
That Peavey looks like everything I'd want in a lunchbox. FX loop, plenty of gain on tap... $179. damn.

Thanks for the link.
Yes, even according to that article, Orange made the first commercially successful breakthrough with the ''little'' 15watt amps, and BOOM . . . . every manufacturer quickly jumped on the bandwagon.
Monkey see, monkey do !

Re: Attack of the killer micro heads!
Not to take anything away from Orange, but that's pretty much how everything works in the guitar world lol..
The Peavey sounds sick (I want one too!) but the Grey (hi-gain) Joyo's not too shabby either http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-lEd_FI2fU&t=8m2s. It'll be interesting to see what the other's in the range are based on. They seem to be like higher wattage Hotone's..

If it generates sales, everyone wants a slice of the pie... I cant see what you hve linked in the orig post from here at wk... I would have liked to have scored one of those crate power blocks as back up when they closed em out..
Has anyone played the little Quilter 101 mini?

I've got one of these! Love it to death. I mostly use it just to power my old big UTAH speaker cabs for my Ipod, but it really sounds decent and useable. I take it with me as a back up for every gig.

I think zvex had first micro amp actually. All others jumped on board and look where we are at now. Win for bedroom guitarists.
Zvex micro head first appeared in 2003
