oh yeah, i have that in my sites for the future. thanks for the GAS.
i am glad you liked the toaster. i am quite happy, i just need lots of pedals now.

i am sure a real happening set of tubes would push the tone even further. V30's are my choice of celestions and i think a 2x12 is as big as i would go. i have no desire to drag a 4x12 anywhere any more.

How are you liking your Lucky 7 Ceav? Have you played it in a band context?

I've had my Tiny Terror for about four months. I find myself bypassing my pedal board and plugging in direct to the amp. I can go from clean to grungy with a twist of a knob. The only thing I add is a bit of 'verb. I love it.

BTW - I you buy one, I highly recommend the Jule Mod.

Musically, the Jule Mod makes the Tiny Terror sound larger and more defined. Notes that were lost in the studio become clearer. The touch of the Tiny Terror after the Jule Mod is also greatly enhanced. Great Guitarists, looking for an amp to show what they have to say, love it. It becomes an amp that is difficult to stop playing.

None of the outstanding overdrive characteristics of the Tiny Terror are diminished in any way. That would be a tragedy. Instead, those overdrive tones become easier for the guitarist to use, and more flexible for the engineer to record.

In the words of a great producer, after playing the Jule Modified Tiny Terror for several days, "It makes a $600 dollar amp sound like a $1200 dollar amp."

Hey, yer welcome!

That TT sounded so good to me, I hafta ask you- what pedals do you need so bad as to put off playing and hearing that amp in its full glory, through a speaker-cab that'll do it justice? It sure does NOT need any overdrive or distortion pedals right off the bat!

I got GREAT results with the Master full-up, the Gain at about two-o'clock, and the Tone reigned-in to suit the given guitar's pickups (it was quite bright cranked-up). I just rolled the guitar's volume down 'n' up to dial in the amount of biting grind and overdrive. That Orange 2x12 cab with the Celestion Vintage 30s really suited it, with a sound somewhere between a "blackface" 2x12 and a Marshall-y closed-back 4x12... lots of kick 'n' bite, like a furious horse!

If I hadn't already scored such a great deal on that Fuchs Lucky 7 ($700 brand-new with a valid warranty!!), I would now own a toaster of my own. You must be pretty happy with it; get that Orange 2x12 with the Vintage 30s, and you'll be in a state of rapture, 'Zan!!

I did try a very nice Option 5 phase-shifter in front of it, with great results- and some echo mightta been real nice. But all by itself, the TT is pretty kick-@$$!



I've read since that others have found real great results with tube-upgrades in their TT's. And I think you'll be PERFECTLY, blissfully happy with that closed-back Orange 2x12.



I have not yet had the time nor opportunity to try it in a band setting, but certainly will sometime this Summer.

I've played it here connected to the stock, onboard speaker in a Carvin 1x12 combo-amp, but that speaker does NOT seem to go very well with the Lucky 7- not after having played it through Orange and Budda cabs with Celestions!

In general, low-notes through the Lucky 7 sound more like a cranked big amp that's been shrink-rayed than a little amp that's raging, like the Tiny Terror; less sag and compression on hard-hit, overdriven low-notes. Due largely, I'm sure, to its heftier transformers and exceedingly rare, possibly unique single EL34 arrangement- as opposed to the T's duet of EL84s. That being said, the TT is voiced with a lot more bass on-tap, and a single tone-control besides its pre-Gain and Master-Volume knobs, whereas the Lucky 7 has less bass overall, with a leaner voicing and less pramp-gain, and controls for (one) volume, bass, middle, and treble. Both of these amps should be approaced with the master/volume cranked or even dimed (in the case of the Orange T, with the gain between "non" and "three-o'clock", and the master full-up), and the guitar's volume down low at first, "IN MY HUMBLE OPINION"... !!

I really need to get a speaker-cabinet that does it justice; I'd strongly considered that Orange 2x12- SERIOUS bang for the buck, though not exactly cheap- but I think I'll save up for a few weeks here for a matching Fuchs tuned, ported-backed 2x12 loaded with a pair of Celestion G12H30s. (Fuchs carries Celestion G12H30 and 1265 speakers as options, so Mr. Andy Fuchs must feel that these specific models best match his amps and cabs.)

Man, are their (Fuchs') cabs pricey!! But, they are all solid-woods, and they're designed specifically to best match their amps; so, as good as the Orange/Vintage 30 2x12 sounds, I'm gonna wait a bit and bite the bullet and see (and HEAR) how the Fuchs 2x12 goes with the Lucky 7.

I gotta check one of these out. I know from the Youtube clips the TT is one of the best sounding hard rock amps out there.

I think for recording it would be hard to beat for rock tones.

My only question mark would be using a boost for solos. Of course in a 1 guitar band, granted your drummer and bassist are dynamic you wouldn't need to worry. But in 2 guitar bands I think it would be a tougher task.

I would love to hear an Orange 2/12.

Rock on.

I haven't had a chance to play thru a TT. But, my Fuchs Lucky 7 is at the store waiting on me! I ordered one about 2 months ago.....cream tolex to match my Fuchs ODS 50 head....

I may have a chance to pick it up tomorrow. I've got a bunch of speaker cabs to play it thru, so I'll try it out thru several and post with my impressions.

Cool! I'm gonna get a red-Tolex cab, and a red-Tolex head-cabinet and a set of cream knobs, for my Lucky Seven (mine is currently dressed in black, with black knobs). I know it's completely irrelevent to function 'n' tone, but the red looks so good on the Fuchs 'site...



Please do, I'll look forward to that; if ya can, try it through any Fuchs cabs they may happen to have at the store when you pick it up, too...

I'm almost certain now that I want to pair it with a (Fuchs) tuned/ported-back 2x12-cab with Celestion G12H30s... any opinions or ideas there, Doc? I need input!!

great now i have 2x12 gas.

Hey Caev, do you know if the TT cathode or fixed bias?
