1. The
back of the amp has 3 output jacks. Two of them are 8 ohms and the other one is
a 16 ohm.
a) You
can plug in one 16 ohm rated cabinet into the 16 ohm jack.
b) You
can plug in an 8 ohm rated cabinet into any one of the 8 ohm jacks.
c) You
can plug in 2 cabs rated at 16 ohms into both of the 8 ohm jacks.
however:
d) You
can not plug in two 8 ohm cabs into both of the 8 ohm jacks.
2. It is
important to note that no tube amp, the Tiny Terror included, should be turned
on if it is not connected to a load. Load meaning a speaker or speakers. This
will likely cause damage to the output transformer.
3. Early
production models of the Tiny Terror were made in
4. All
models of the Tiny Terror until recently were made in
5. For
reasons unbeknownst to all of us, the Tiny Terror comes without any manuals or
paper work. Not even a warranty card. There is also no manual that can be
obtained from the website at the present time.
6. It has
been noted that although you have a 15 watt setting and a 7 watt setting, the
15 watt setting is not twice as loud as the 7 watt setting. In fact, at lower
volumes it's almost impossible to tell the difference at all. However with the
amp cranked, you will notice a subtle difference in volume.
What is
very apparent though is the characteristic of each setting. 15 watts tends to
be cleaner, more open and articulate. You'll find a bit more definition in
whatever your playing. The 7 watt channel however is a little dirtier and more
compressed. This setting works especially well with the bridge pickup, where as
the 15 watt channel really shines with the neck pickup or the neck and bridge
mixed together.
However
you choose to play in each setting, one thing is for sure, both settings
definitely adds some versatility to the amp. And that's a good thing.
7. It's
also worth noting that the voice of the amp is much darker when played at lower
volumes. The more you increase the volume the brighter the amps becomes. Don't
be surprised if you find yourself rolling the tone knob on at lower volumes and
rolling off at higher volumes.
8.
Speaker efficiency plays a big role in how loud the Tiny Terror can get.
Because the Tiny Terror is a low wattage amp, it can be important when gigging
to convert as much of the watts into db's as possible. A cab loaded with a 16
ohm Celestion Vintage 30 has a 100db sensitivity rating, and therefore is quite
loud compared to a Celestion G12T-75, often found in

Hello Dave,
All Tiny Terror's can be wired by a
qualified amp service tech to run in any country in the world.
This is very easy and inexpensive
for a technician to perform!
Best regards
The mod
looks very simple -- you have to unsolder two wires and resolder them different
places on the transformer.
PLEASE BE
AWARE THAT YOU SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT THIS IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING
BECAUSE THE STORED VOLTAGE IN AN UNPLUGGED AMP (even one this low wattage) CAN
LITTERALY KILLYOU. DEAD.
