I was out at American Guitar and Band a few weeks ago with my friend Tom and got a chance to play an Orange Tiny Terror. When these came out, I was very interested in getting one because of their size (very small) and because they are all tube and made by Orange. Up until playing the Tiny Terror at AGB, I had never played an Orange (tube or otherwise) and like any guitar player would tell you, you should never buy an amp (or guitar for that matter) without playing it first.
Well, I'm hooked! The thing sounds great! I plugged in a standard American Telecaster, which is what I have, and tried the clean and gain on it and they both sounded amazing. The TT was hooked up to a Mesa Boogie cabinet. I think it was probably a 1x12", so the entire set up was very compact. But it really rocks - even on the 7 watt setting it can get really loud - so I'm sure it would do fine in a church setting.
Now I just need to sell my Classic 30 and raise some funds to make the purchase. The TT sells for around $500. The Mesa cab they had it set up with was another $400, I believe. So...yeah...that's getting up into the difficult-to-explain-to-Angie-why-I-need-to-buy-it price range :0)
What can I say? If you want tone, you have to pay for it.
