Members NetStar Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 Well, features depending, $600 for a 100W valve is great, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JMR Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 yep, it's features are great. A lot of sites have it listed at it's msrb, but blackheart themselves say it should be about 600 once it's released. I just hope it's like their other amps but with usable headroom.

Members kismet78 Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 he had to fingerpick to get anything close to clean and it still sounded dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh, it's EL34 too... I just read the site. Footswitchable loop is great feature - especially since it has no reverb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JMR Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 I'm excited for it to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tantamo Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 I play at low levels so I was able to keep it clean for the most part. But the cleans were sort of ice picky and I didn't like the grainy fizzy distortion. I actually prefer the smooth flavor of my epiphone valve junior. By the way, there was a thread about a factory hod rod valve junior with reverb over at the epiphone forums at least over a year ago - is it really coming out?

Members JMR Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 yes, it is. It's SUPPOSED to be out sometime in late july -august along with with the Valve Senior it's on sweewater.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members digijeff Posted June 22, 2009 Members Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'd rather get a Frenzel or blackheart. New blackheart bh100h, when it eventually comes, will be $600, with muchhhhh more headroom than it's lower wattage offerings. Never heard of Frenzel before, but I just checked out their website and they seem very impressive... sounds like the guy will do anything for you too! I've also been considering the 15w Blackheart. (the bh100h seems like a bit more than I need, but at only 600 bones its still tempting.) I've been worrying about getting a single channel amp because I'd have to use a footswitch/stompbox to go from clean to dirty, which means using my boss OD pedal. Will I still get the tube glory I'm looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JMR Posted June 22, 2009 Members Share Posted June 22, 2009 yeah, if I get a tube head soon, I'm going for Epi valve senior I don't, then I'm saving up for epiphone blues custom 30 or or Frenzel ac15/jtm or fE3 or Blackheart Bh100h the blendable channels, etc,etc. For custom amps, it's really a bargain. He basically takes an amp and either cleans it up, or makes it gainier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members digijeff Posted June 23, 2009 Members Share Posted June 23, 2009 I noticed TT combos come with a G12H30 celestion but if you buy a head and cab seperate, orange puts in a V30. How big of a difference do you think that would make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members praga37 Posted March 8, 2010 Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 I agree that a combo version would be almighty sweet... Nevertheless, this thing plugged through my 2x12 cab with Celestion Greenbacks has a tone I've been digging for quite a long time a great investment; a keeper !

Members Acid Test Posted March 8, 2010 Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 I owned a Dual Terror and dumped it. To me the two channels have similar tones with the second having a bit more gain. There is no clean channel and only cleans with the gain turned low so you end up with low volume cleans. So why not make a clean first channel and then have the second channel be a gain channel with a "more gain" button. Best mini-head I have played and own is the Krank Rev. Jr. Pro. Less expensive, clean channel, effects loop which can add more gain, sweep and presence controls, made in the USA and less expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stratmaster458 Posted March 8, 2010 Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 Sounds like something I would buy, I want Orange tone in my rig but I don't want to completely replace my Bandmaster/Hotrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guitarro Posted June 7, 2010 Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 I think they work quite well with pedals up front, it don't make a difference when the power tubes saturate and that is what these amps are about. The only thing it doesn't do is reverb and I prefer not to have it. You guys must be noobs or something to think these amps don't work well with pedals up front. But hey if you want mic it run it into a mixer with an effects loop and send that to a PA like Eddie Van Halen did if it means that much to you, it sounds great too.

Less expensive, clean channel, effects loop which can add more gain, sweep and presence controls, made in the USA and less expensive. When I bought my Dual Terror I was really worried about the cleans because I read so many negative reviews like this. And it is important to me as I love a good clean channel just as much as good overdrives. Now that I have it, I am really, REALLY confused as to what the hell everyone is talking about. Either they don't understand how to dial in a tone correctly, or they do not understand how other parts of the signal chain may be effecting their tone i.e their pickups. I use the Fat Channel for really, really, warm, fat and clean tones. I can have it set without even the slightest hint of breakup, pure clean, and at the same time, be loud enough to hear WELL over the drummer. So much so that I actually had to turn my clean setting down. Then I switch over to the Tiny Terror for a pretty thick overdrive with slightly boosted volume for lead work. For those people who like 3 channels i.e clean, overdrive and lead boost, its a pretty straight forward goal to achieve. I simply keep the two channels at the same perceivable volume, one set to a pure warm clean, the other to a nice crunch THEN run a really decent compression pedal in front and have its output level boosted. Engage that and you got a lead boost with a little extra gain on tap. I think when people review this product they need to spend a lot of time experimenting with it AND take into consideration all sections of your signal chain. THEN decide if its for you or not. If you simply just don't like the tonal character of its sound, that is a completely fair opinion. I would also like to note that I also didn't get the best of this amp until I switched my cab speaker for the recommended Vintage 30 Greenback.
