Cool! Although I noticed that they didn't specify a price . . .

$819 For The Head. That's The Same Price As The Tiny Terror Combo. I Wonder If They'll Do A Combo Out Of This One?

Hey Marnold, I Bet Your "thesis" Pedal Would Sound Fabulous With A Tube Amp Like This. :aok:

played one in machinehead the other day, the cleans are better on these, its almost like theyve taken the tiny terror and worked out all the wrinkles, then went 'oh the hell with it' and doubled the power.

stays very clean very loud too, and i was comparing it to a screamer 50.

That's what I'm afraid of :)

I was wondering if the FAT channel would be much cleaner. The only knock on the TT had been that it didn't do very much of a CLEAN. That problem has now been taken care of. :D

As to pedals.....they seem to really come alive with a GOOD tube amp.

the Screamer 50 is like £1000 and the Dual terror is about £400.

apart from the difference in tubes (5881s in the ENGL and EL84s in the terror) and the extra 20 watts, the screamer and the DT have some extrememly good sounds, clean and driven.

i found you can get a similar sound to the ENGL from the DT, so id say thats a saving of £600.
