question about an amp

We've sold a lot of them and never had one returned with a problem. The initial run was made in Korea and the following production was due to be switched to China but I'm not sure that has happened. QC is very high in both countries so I don't think there will be any issues with failures. The sound is very distinctive and we've found that with the Orange tone it's a 'love it or hate it' thing, not many of our customers sit on the fence. We sold one to a very high profile player recently and no complaints from him either......and he paid for his one too.

Well done, the amp has a very good reputation, and 15 watts is a LOT louder than the numbers would have you believe.

I got the Tiny Terror and it's a pretty accurate name. The 15W setting gives you plenty of loudness for small rooms, which is where I find myself most of the time. Actually I'll probably use the 7W setting most often because you can run the volume at least halfway and the gain about one notch over half and get a really nice blusey crunch with a Strat with standard pickups and plexi-ish overdrive with humbuckers or P-90s in my case. In fact, the P-90s at that setting yield an early Leslie West, Free (think All Right Now) sort of rich, harmonic laden overdrive with lots of fundamental so chords have a nice clarity but still have those ringing overtones that make you smile all over. I'm also finding that my Keeley modded DS-1 with the gain set farily low boosts it nicely for leads and adds just a touch of thickness without sacrificing touch dynamics.

I know there are lots of better amps out there, particularly if you're willing to second mortgage the house. But for this poor preacher for $575 used including an Orange 1x12 with a vintage Celestion, it's a heck of a package.

BTW, I'm going to run it along with my 4x10 Hot Rod DeVille. I'm looking at either a Whirlwind or Morely ABY to switch them. Any thoughts? I'd love to get a Lehle like Joe has, but they're anywhere from $200 to $450 depending on the model.

Thanks for the tip, Mike. I haven't heard of that one--I'll check it out.

I had read the same things and was suspcious until I played one. It all depends on the gain setting. Anything beyond about 2:00 or so and it is hard to get much cleaner than some crunch, fine for more classic rock sounding rhythm stuff. If you keep the gain back, half or so, then you get that nice British bluesy, Plexi sort of overdrive, but can still clean it up at the guitar very nicely.
