well, i'm walking down the street in cairns, and as i've been away from my guitars and amps for some time now, you'd imagine i'm pretty pretty damn desperate to find a guitar shop (even though i cant hold a pick right now, but you get what i mean), and then 5 minutes later i see one. i went in there, it was really good. i had a good strum on a squier tele unplugged for a while, and there were lots of orange amps. i mean a heck of a lot. i come across this orange tiny terror. its so tiny! for $100 i nearly got it, i have no clue what made me not do it, but it was a very handy amp. anyone else have these? will i regret not getting it?

They are great little amps. A hundred dollars is a steal. I would have gotten it.

Don't you already have a couple of little amps including an Orange? Fight the AAS :D and save your money for a decent tube amp. I'm speaking from my experience when I was starting out on guitar and bought too many cheap little practice amps because a) they were all I could afford at the time and b) they looked cool and I gave in to AAS. In the end I had a few underpowered amps that were worthless in a band setting, and all the money invested could have been used for one nice tube amp that had great tone and plenty of volume for any situation.

You won't regret not getting it.

Hey Riley, are you sure it was a Tiny Terror? Those amps are normally $575 USD for the head and $859 for the combo. For $100 AUSD it must have been mismarked in the shop, or the deal of the century. http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&q= ... a=N&tab=wf

Riley,

I know that AAS and GAS are a real bear. I would hold off for a bit and save for a decent tube amp. I know not being around your gear is hard and you want something. How about a cool inexpensive acoustic? No need for an amp and will help out on learning chords. Just a suggestion while you are away from your gear.

If that amp was a tube powered tiney terror a hundred bucks is a steal.

A Tiny Terror for $100 is a great price,these little Orange amps are something else.I saw a video on you tube with Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie using a Tiny terror miked in a concert and it sounded deadly. BTW I always refered to the condition as A$$-amp stockpiling syndrome.
