Thumbs up Orange Tiny Terror + Tele Clip...

So, I thought I'd do a really half assed, short, wanky clip of the Tiny Terror. I got this amp a couple of weeks back after a brief search for an affordable Orange tone.
I'm pretty happy with the results, and I spent a good few hours directly comparing the Terror with my mate's AD30TC Combo, and really, I kept going back to the same mid gain kinda tone with the AD30 and honestly... the Tiny Terror had it just as nailed... especially through my 4x12 w/Celestion V30's. It's that sweet, punchy, grinding tone. Perfectly suited to a Tele. If I want a higher gain, searing lead tone, I use my JCM2555SL... does the job better than anything else I've ever heard/played.

So as I said, this clip is a very simple, impromptu affair but I think it displays the Terror's potential.

Here's some details on settings and such...

Unfortunately I couldn't crank the amp up to it's best, the volume is just at half in 15 watt mode, which is still quite loud, but doesn't really deliver as much bass and midrange punch as when it's up to around 3/4 (did a rehearsal with it cranked and it ****ing owned!).
Anyway, tone is at full and gain is just under halfway.

I'm using my 62' CIJ Reissue Tele w/Bare Knuckle Brown Sugars. I go through all the various pickup combinations, but my favourite has to be at around 1:50 where I use the modded 4th position (bridge + neck in series).

Recorded with a trusty drum stiick battered SM57, through a pre-sonus pre, through a mixer and into Logic where I added a small amount of plate and room reverb.

Forgive the uninspired blues cliches, I tend to be on empty after the weekly prog-cuban-metal-funk-jazz rehersals!... sometimes the simple things are more pleasing

Cheers,
Xan

P.S: I should also point out that this amp really likes fuzz pedals and takes all my D*A*M's extremely well... especially the Fuzz Sound MkIII, which I shall do a clip of tomorrow.

A friend of mine just got one of these. I'll be trying it out just before new years eve. I searched TGP and this was one of the clips. It will be a great supplement to our recording amps.
