How come I didn't know about this until I seen it in a guitar shop? Why wasn't there a thread about it? We're getting sloppy.
I assume this is just a Tiny Terror in a Vox box?

I think there is a thread about it. Most likely it has an irrelevant name or was mentioned in another thread. I'm certain I've seen it on here before though.
you even replied.
(granted, this took me like fifteen minutes to find since it was called NEVERMIND for fuck sake so you probably would have missed it.)

I didn't get to play it, I was sort of not in a mood to sit around fitturing in a gutiar shop.

were i not now looking at the blackstar i'd be interested in these. even if it's just a TT in a new box it's got a three band EQ, which i'd really like on my TT.
how much was it selling for in the shop?

£399, or maybe £369. I can't remember. They'd be the sort of shop that would come down to closer to internet prices though, and stand over the amp for a couple of years. They replaced my Fender Champ for me without me showing them a receipt, like.

I'd be really tempted by these if they were driven by 6v6s instead of '84s.
Guess that wouldn't be very Voxlike, though...

From what I've heard, there isn't even the tiniest bit of clean headroom.
The Guitarist review was surprisingly balanced. Apparently it is too noisy for a recording amp (FAIL. FAIL FAIL FAIL), and the solderwork was really shit.

Somebody hasn't been paying the advertisements department enough money. The tone ought to be endearingly raunchy, and the solderwork capturing a folkish simplicity.

Given the reviews I have seen, this is much too expensive considering the other low watt amps on the market.
And it looks fecking awful imo!

Ahhh I don't know. It sounds OK, but frankly my old Orange Tiny Terror (sold last year during a money crunch) had more gain, and sounded raunchier. Sure, the Night Train has a 3 band EQ, and it can do chime better than the Tiny Terror. But, the Tiny Terror sounds better at metal and other heavy rock stylings IMO. Of the two, I prefer the Tiny Terror. Frankly it's a moot point nowadays - I use a 50 watt Marshall.

Which one? DSL50? JCM800?
Lots of Marshall fans here.. I have a '94 6100 30th Anniversary 100W head and an '81 JCM800 2204 50W head
I have a Tiny Terror for making demos and practise, and this doesn't seem to offer anything the TT can't do when cranked as loud as that thing is.

I don't think there was a Korg advert on the back of that issue so this might be true.

That makes me think of when Hurb exploded the imac amp at NAMM. He rocked the solder off the input.
