Tiny Terror VS. OR15
I currently own a TT and love it. But I'm thinking of adding another Orange amp to my collection. I'm wondering how the OR15 compares to The Tiny Terror? Tone, color, loudness, etc.... Thoughts? Or maybe I pick up a TH30. Thanks!

Re: Tiny Terror VS. OR15
I have the OR15 and love it, the word is that it is similar to the rockerverb. I'm not sure i have not played a RV. It's a little tighter and more compressed than some orange amps. For example I had a rocker 30 for a while and it's quite a bit tighter than that, but it has the Orange sound to it for sure. I highly recommend, have not ever spent time with a TT but you will have more gain with the or. I never take the gain above 12 for my purposes. Not much hedroom but if you set the sin at 9 and crank the volume it gives a nice clean tone

Re: Tiny Terror VS. OR15
Interesting. I would still like to hear from someone who knows both. I'm really curious to know which amp " might" be loyder.
Re: Tiny Terror VS. OR15
Well keep in mind the TT has almost no headroom before it starts to break up. I haven't played an OR 15 but the TT starts to break up very quickly.

Dunno about louder... they're both loud amps - but my ears perceive the OR to be a very loud amp. Efficient speaker(s) will make a more noticeable difference.

Re: Tiny Terror VS. OR15
Thanks for the replies. I'm starting to think a TH30 may be more up my alley as I'm looking for more headroom and loudness. By the way. In Led Zeppelin's Celebration Day video. What Orange amps are those? They look like TH30's. but I have read Jimmy Page was using AD30's?

Re: Tiny Terror VS. OR15
I'd consider stepping up to the TH30 if volume is going to be a major consideration. That's assuming you want something with a little different sound than the TT to give you some variety/versatility. The Dual Terror would be the obvious choice if you just want a louder version of the TT.

Agree about running out of headroom with the TT
That's one reason why I moved on to the Dual Terror and loving it. It does loud clean really nicely, though appreciate 'loud' is a subjective term.

Yep, you can play Zeppelin with an AD30. Page did...Psychonaut4 wrote:Thanks for the replies. I'm starting to think a TH30 may be more up my alley as I'm looking for more headroom and loudness.

Offical confirmation. Main amp used was an AD30. Also present, AD50 and OR50 Custom Shop amps.

However, just found this...
Seems he then fed the AD30 through ENGL and Marshall stacks.
FWIW I'm an SM58 fan too!'Big Mick' Hughes, co-FOH mixer on the show (http://www.performing-musician.com/pm/jun08/articles/ledzeppelin.htm wrote: ...guitar and vocals were straightforward. Hughes placed three Audio-Technica AT2500 dual-capsule microphones in front of Page's rig, whose core was a 30W Orange head atop a 4 x 12 cabinet, and channeled into an Engel amplifier stack and some Marshall stacks. "Literally, all you do with Jimmy's sound is bring up the fader," says Hughes, marvelling at the thought. "His sound is just there. Just open his mic and add a touch of reverb."
And Robert Plant? "Just a standard Shure SM58 through an Avalon compressor and a touch of reverb from a TC6000, and hope when he swings it, it doesn't come too close to the overheads."

Re: Tiny Terror VS. OR15
Seen the video on a big screen in the cinema. Oh and a very small point: the TH30 wasn't out in '07, it is a much newer amp...Psychonaut4 wrote:Right I read that. But have you seen the video! Maybe what I'm seeing s the OR50's. they look an awful lot lime the TH30.

Re: Tiny Terror VS. OR15
Thanks Andy! Looks like I'm going with a TH30. Just found one on Craigslist with a 1x12 cab for $900.
