Members asdfjkl semi Posted January 2, 2008 Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 Went into AL&M in Norfolk on New Year's Eve and picked up an Orange Tiny Terror and 1x12 closed back cab. This thing is really amazing for its size and wattage. Nice clean tones with the volume knob on my guitar turned down, and a great crunch with it wide open. So far it's really exceeded my expectations! The amp and my cheap pedal setup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Woodstock7 Posted January 2, 2008 Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 HAHA! yes! AL&M! did they give you a decent price? I don't really deal with them because they almost seem to be geared to pro audio. Ya know alpha music carries orange. my buddy went in there and tryed the rocker 30, it sounded pretty good to me, but the price killed it for me....

Yeah, I got the amp & cab for $800, which I thought was pretty decent. Alpha had the Tiny Terror alone for $600 and no orange cabs in stock, if I remember correctly. I think AL&M is on par with Alpha in terms of the gear they sell. Both are great shops with pretty helpful and knowledgeable salespeople. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR. if that doesn't work out, the Tiny Terror was going to be my back up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members asdfjkl semi Posted January 2, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 Thanks guys. Woodstock, it's a closed back 1x12 w/ a Celestion Vintage 30. So, just a fair deal, nothing amazing. If you're still in the Hampton Roads area, I think they are selling Krank stuff at Alpha now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The location of the standby might be a way for us to tell if that's how the Chinese versions are coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AbbeSauniere Posted January 3, 2008 Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 I think Orange has put off production in China for the time being. My TT has the wattage/standby switch but has a "Made In Korea" sticker. Humbucker Music is also advertising MIK TT with the new wattage/standby layout. Great amps! Happy new amp day. And yeah, that Strat is very nice looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, anyone know why they moved the standby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members asdfjkl semi Posted January 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 Thanks for the comments about my strat, guys. It was my project over the summer. Overall I am pretty pleased with the results, but I'm a little disappointed with the effect of putting Fender noiseless pups in it. Doesn't really sound like a strat anymore. Still, I may not go back to the old single coils, so I'm thinking about converting it to an HSS or HSH, with a Dimarzio PAF pro and who knows what else. If I don't do that, I'll at least put a JB Jr. in the bridge. My Tiny Terror is MIK as well, but I didn't open it to find the make of the tubes. No idea why they moved that switch, but it works fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
