Tiny Terror

If anyone here has a TT could you let me know your level of contentment with it? Can you gig with it? What type of speakers is it best suited for?
Someone mentioned it can do what a Vox ac15 can do - is that true?

Would it ba as versatile as an AC15? I'm kind of at a crossroads right now.
AC15 or TT. I play mostly blues rock southern rock/country rock. Not too much straight country - but ther aint much straight country out there anymore anyway. What about reverb? I know the reverb on the AC15 suck anyway - but how would I get reverb with theTT

Which amp should I get?

I'm about 99% of the time happy with my TT. The other 1% is when I'm gassing for some amp I can never afford...
I've gigged with mine several times, and have no problems hearing myself on stage with a hard hitting drummer.
I run it through the Orange PPC112 cab, the one with the V30 in it. It's a nice sounding cab, but very directional, which is not so good at unmiked gigs. The V30 is not the "perfect" speaker for the TT imho, something with a less aggressive upper mids would suit it much better I think. I fact, I'm going to try the Vox 2*12 this weekend, if I remember this thread by then I'll post how I feel about it.

I'm very happy with it. I run it through an Orange PPC 112 12" speaker cab with a Celestion Vintage 30 and I love it.

You can gig with it in small clubs, anything bigger can be miked (and the soundman will love you for not blowing his mics).

Reverb? Use a pedal if you're playing clean, if you're playing with the amp's distortion, you don't really need it and it would probably sound lame anyways.

I doubt it's as verstile as an AC-15, but I'm not familiar with those. Although what it does, it does very well.

From my experience with gigging the (similar or lower wattage) THD Univalve I'd say the Tiny Terror would be more than adequate for any live situation, if your needs in clean headroom are not too exaggerated.

As for reverb, why not do what Larry Carlton does? Run your reverb on the PA!! Most PAs have build in reverb effects or you can setup your own with the aid of the sound engineer. An economical (even second hand) Lexicon or similar rack effect will do for that matter.
