FAO: TINY TERROR OWNERS

Post by More Cowbell »

Hi. For those of you who own the wonderful tiny terror, How loud does this thing get out of a 4x12 cab? Say 80db or 100db? whatchusay? I may be joining the klub.

Overdriven it can get extremely loud. I don't know decibel output but we're definitely talking loud enough to trouble your neighbours and sound good above any drummer.

Clean Headroom wise you have to keep the Gain at 9 o'clock to stay crystal and on 15 watt mode this will be pretty loud, but also sound juicy at high volume levels as the power tubes get involved.

Overall I think it's great for all small gigs and particularly wonderful for recording. We did some recording at Gareth's house on Wednesday night and the Terror was quieter than TV volumes but sounded splendid when close miced, this was playing through my little 1x10" speaker. It's a godsend for those wanting great sounds at low volume.

You will have no volume issues except for if you want HIGH VOLUME fender clean tones out of it. The cleans are awesome, but at really high volume it will break up a little... (as mike said). I personally got my guitar cabinet with speakers designed not to break up as easy and to stay clean so to extend my headroom just a little...It seemed to help. My 2x12 avatar cab actually had more headroom volume wise on the cleansa than a marshall 4x12 I played it though (not that the tone was any better by any means...)

Buy it....Unless you want a huge 4 channel monster that can do everything at once, you will not regret it....And if that is the case...>See Mike's other topic.....JVM410...
They say great minds think alike....Sometimes we do too...

I thoroughly recommend the Orange TT to everyone who asks, it's a really, really great piece of kit. I might ask Gareth to export just my close mic'ed tracks so I can make just a brief sample of the three tones so you guys can hear how great it sounds at a recording level that wouldn't bother your neighbours in the middle of the night.

Thanx guys! I'm in the middle of recording my band, and have come to the decision that my AVT150H sucks and IMA gonna get rid of that bitch and get something with tubes that sounds awesome and affordable. I'll keep the AVT 4x12 cab for now until I hate it, or run across xtra $$$,

If any of youse happen to run across a sound decibel level for this amp, please let me know. I'm aiming for a nice overdriven rock tone that can get to atleast 100db output. (My drummer pounds the hell out of his kit) His drums alone exceed 120db when measured with my meter. :shock:

I'm currently considering selling my amp next month to fund a TT purchase in bonus month. Need to try one though, cos I really do like the clean on my amp.

Im such a dick.

TT overdriven through a 4x12" will easily outplay your drummer.

You must really really want it like two posts wise.

Rob I think it's right up your alley. The overdrive with the gain past 12 o clock is absolutely the stuff you love.

yea i don't like that metal chuga chuga screachy shit.

i'd rather just turn a HIWATT up real loud and rock old school

if i could get that kinda shit at a lower apartment friendly volume it would rule.

one band's tone i always loved was Superdrag. they had a great overdriven clean sound that rocked

Holy shit, these guys are amazing.

And you can nail that "sucked out" guitar sound on the TT no bother.

Been thinking about it. Been thinking about it alot. You guys are assholes. I might actually sell my Peavey Classic 30 to fund it. I'm assuming it will easily compete with the Classic through a 2x12?

i was blown away by the volume the TT has. it's eerily powerful, but i just can't bring myself to get one at this time. maybe next year.

DO IT.

it's a much better amp. the sound is organic and it's just bloody brilliant.
