My main amp is a Fender DeVille 212 which I love but it's way too loud for my apartment so I use it mainly for giging. I also have a small Meteoro amp which I was using to play at home, study and record some guitar videos but as thankful as I am to that amp because it was the one I used for many years while learning guitar, it's really not great.
I wanted a little more quality at bedroom volume so I started looking for a new amp. I also wanted to get a different sound than what I already have with the Fender, which, again, I love, but it's always nice to broaden our horizons. That being said, I started looking for a british style amp and the Orange Tiny Terror immediatly draw my attention and I decided to pull the trigger on it.
It's been only a few days since I got it but I can already tell it was a very solid choice! This tiny amp has a full-valve (or tube) circuit and 15W (although it can be atenuated down to 7W) of pure british power!
As I mentioned on the video, I won't go into technical details or anything like that in this post and will do a different one just for that prupose, which I will link to this when I'm done. The main idea here is jsut demo some of the tones you can get out of this little amp.
Speaking of which, don't let it's compact size and name fool you. This amp is a beast! I have yet to try it with a live band but I was told by multiple people that it's totally usable in a band rehearsal and also small gigs, even if your drummer is loud.
It also has a broad range of tones so, although I wouldn't called it exactly versatile, you can go anywhere from a decent clean tone to a quite heavy distorted sound that will win the hearts (and ears) of bluesmen and hard rockers alike!
I'm still exploring the tonal range that the Tiny Terror has to offer but, for now, my favorite setting is the mid-gain crunch sound that you can get with the gain knob around noon. It's just too good!
So this is it! I hope you enjoy this short demo and be sure that there is more to come! I will soon start uploading some videos that I will record using this new amp. I believe the quality difference from my previous amp will be quite notable in my videos so I'm looking forward to start recording them!
Oh, and by the way, for the demo I used my loyal custom shop Tele and an Orange PPC 212 Open Back cabinet, which I also got recently and plan to review later.
