You want a recipie for terror? Orange Amps has one in its Tiny Terror guitar amp. Gearwire camped out at the amazingly huge Orange booth at Musikmesse and got a listen to the Tiny Terror in action (compete with matching Orange guitar--very stylish!) in our exclusive demo video. See and hear this popular amp in action in our short-but-sweet vid, and learn what the "handbag" concept is as it relates to the Tiny Terror. Yes, we said "handbag".

ohms
There are 3 jacks in the back.
Two are for 8ohms and one is for 16 ohms.
You can plug one 8ohm unit into either 8ohm jack.
You can plug one 16ohm unit into one 8ohm jack and another 16ohm unit in the remaining 8ohm jack (but you have to use both 8ohms jacks with two 16ohm units at the same time).
You can NOT plug two 8ohm units into the two 8ohm jacks...that's a no no.
The 16 ohm jack can take one 16ohm unit.
The two 8ohm jacks (together or alone) can only handle 8ohms.
I hope this helps...
You are correct except that
You are correct except that the last statement doesn't make sense. "The two 8ohm jacks (together or alone) can only handle 8ohms". As you stated above, 2 8ohm jacks together need a 16ohm load in each jack.
2 x 16-ohms (parallel) = 8 ohms
Two 16-ohm loads in parallel = 8 ohms, so the "ohm" post was correct.
You can plug one 8-ohm speaker load into one of the 8-ohm jacks, or you can plug two 16-ohm loads into the 8-ohm jacks, both of which result in an 8-ohm total speaker load on the amp.
Plugging two 8-ohm speakers into the 8-ohm jacks will result in a 4-ohm speaker load on the amp, subsequently drawing too much power from the amp.
(current in amperes = voltage / impedance)
A lower ohm speaker load can work sometimes, but do this at your own risk. It burns up certain components. Higher impedence tends to burn up power transformers and lower impedence tends to burn up tubes.
Gotta get one
Great little amp
I tried one yesterday. It's a great amp, especially for the money. I'm going to go pick one up for my studio.
On a lighter note. Am I the only guy that thinks Adrian belongs in Spinal Tap? :-) That is a terrible demo of the amp. Between the P90s and computer speakers that demo sounds honky. I tried one with a Heritage H-150 with Seymour Duncan '59s and it sounded great. BTW, the amps do NOT go to 11. LOL
still confused
um. so with the ohms and jacks thing. let's say i had one of these amps and wanted to get a cabinet built. the cabinet in question has a 'mono stereo combo' input setup. in other words it's a 2x12 cab with three inputs-one for left speaker, one for right speaker, and one for both. there is the option of having the left and right values at 8 ohms with the mono jack being 4 ohms, or else the left and right being rated at sixteen ohms with the mono rated at 8 ohms. judging by what you guys have said i can't get it set with two eight ohm inputs and a four ohm mono input and just run one of the amp's 8 ohm inputs into the right speaker and one 8 ohm input into the left speaker. so.. if i was to get it built with two sixteen ohm inputs and one eight ohm mono input, would i be able to run each 8 ohm output into each 8 ohm input? although i guess if that were the case i could just use the 16 ohm output on the amp for left and right and then use the 8 ohm output for mono output. AHH. i dunno. dumb question. but help is good.
The Tiny Terror is basic and
The Tiny Terror is basic and doesn't run Stereo at all, so have a 3 input speaker cabinet would be a complete waste. If you were looking at running two Tiny Terrors into said cabinet, then you'd have a pretty good idea. The 2x12 Orange cabinet that I bought to couple with the TT is rated 16 ohm. I use one speaker cable from the 16 ohm jack to the cabinet. I personally wouldn't bother getting a 2x12 cabinet made, buy the Orange. The sound is huge and come on... Nothing beats the look of an Orange cabinet sitting on stage/in the corner of your room/on your bed where your girlfriend used to sleep... uhm, yeah, forget that last one. The two 8 ohm jacks are if you're running two 2x12 cabinets at 16 ohm (you have two options:1. run speaker cable from both 8 ohm outputs to the two 16 ohm cabinets or you can run cable from TT to the first 16 ohm cabinet then the first cabinet will have a flow through, like a daisy chain, to the next 16 ohm cabinet.) Forget all of that... buy an Orange 2x12, 1 high-end speaker cable, connect from the 16ohm jack to the cabinet, dial the gain between 10 and 12 o'clock for awesome crunch. I've never been happier with a setup as I am with the TT/2x12. I rehearse (fully mic'd with headphone monitoring) with full drums, 40w tube Fenders, Vox AC 30's and 300 watt bass amps on the 7 watts setting. If you don't have as sophisticated a monitoring system, flip up to 15 watts, you'll be plenty loud and plenty happy.
So here's a dumb question to clarify
if i buy a TT then i can still use a 2x12 then?
I had thought a 1x12 would be neccessary?
So just make sure it's a 16ohm input and goes into the 16ohm connection?
Cheers guys, never was good with electrics...

The Continuing Saga of Tiny Terror Ohms...
I picked up on this conversation kind of late so I may get no reply - however, is it impossible to run one of the 8 ohm outs to an 8 ohm cabinet?
I agree that an Orange Amp looks way cool with an Orange Cabinet but couyld I not use my 2 x12 8 ohm cab for now while I save up for the Orange 2 x 12?
