Hello,
Cool to find this forum!
I used to have a British made Rocker 30 1x12 combo. Sold it, and now years later wish I wouldn't have.
I've been going through amp trial & error.

The one amp I( have that's a keeper is a handwired Greer Thunderbolt 30, made in Athens, Georgia.
My quest has been for a second/backup amp head.

Afte trying out a few things and returning them, I decided to try the Dual Terror.

I've liked the demos I've heard. I just hope this puts an end to my string of returns & exchanges.
I was very happy with the build quality of the Rocker 30. I understand the Dual terror is mfd in China. Not a deal breaker, but I hope their QC is good, because $900 is a lot for a Chinese made head.

Got some words of encouragement for me...? The DT should get here next week.

Hi welcome to the forum.


I've not used the dual terror but it's got a good reputation and there's not been any issues regarding build quality for the Chinese made orange amps reported here... But my first question would as you liked the rocker so much was it not possible to pick up a second hand one of those?

I think because I already have speaker cabs, so a head was the first thing I thought of.

The first time I played a Dual Terror it made me jump! Both from the volume and how good it sounded.

Awesome! I'm really looking forward to its arrival.
Love the fact that it has a padded gigbag, too!
