Tiny Amp

I’d argue the style would be different far more than the tone would be. That’s usually what people mean. The style is different, and yes, the style contributes to the overall sound immensely, but it’s not toan.

the playing style affects the tone. how you finger lead notes or chord shapes makes an amp react a certain way. that wont turn a fender amp into a marshall, but through the same amp different people will sound different even if they play the same thing.

Oh, I’m not saying it doesn’t affect tone at all. I’m just saying that “the tone is in the fingers” doesn’t account for the majority of the tone.

ive always assumed "tone is in the fingers" to mean that a good player will sound good no matter what gear theyre using. a good player will sound good on a cheap guitar and junk amp because he knows what hes doing.

I can get pretty much anything to work for the most part .... hell, I do some gigs with my MG-15 and it sorta sounds like I do on anything else so knowing the sound you're after and how to set amps to get there is definitely a big part of it.

And I know a few gitists whose tone is horrid regardless of amp.
A local metal guy sat in on my Mesa Blue Angel and immediately made it sound buzzy and tinny like that metal fuzz often sounds and I would have bet the Blue Angel couldn't sound that wy.

Think I've decided in the Orange.
I've heard tone clips and I think it sounds pretty sweet clean. Overdriven it sounds like an Orange.
I really don't want to have small to large headphone adaptor hanging out of the back which the BlueJay has. And I really don't want a Bluetooth aerial.

If I like it, I'll probably get a few cheap pedals to go with it and turn it into a self contained board rig.

Hope you have fun with it! Show us some toans when you get it.

That's prolly a good choice.
I sold my Tiny Terror about 6 months ago and regret it because only an Orange does what an Orange does ...... there's a certain type of crunch only they get and even though i rarely used it .... I know there'll be a time when I wish I had it available.

Awesome man!! Can't wait to hear what you can do with that.

thats all you had to say.

On the tone & fingers thing...my biggest problem is I don't know when I have good tone. I have to cross reference and seek confirmation. It's my biggest issue when recording. It's also why i keep a record of the settings when it's deemed right.
That's because I'm not a good player and I don't have a real ear for the thing.
Good luck with the Orange James.

Ordered it... lets see how good the Anderton's service is... @CrowsofFritz you generally expect about 3 months for gear to arrive don't you?

Lol I got the EQ in three days. The compressor was just on back order. So I got a different compressor that wasn’t on back order. Was the amp in stock?

Yeah - amp, 4 packs of strings, an extra clip on tuner and a few cables. All in stock.
Anderton's say that I'll have it tomorrow.

Just realized one day shipping is a thing and that I’m an idiot.


But I do wonder. How fast are shipping times to you all given the size of your country?

[vomitHatSteve]

that's not really true anymore.
there are now even hi-end class D stereophile-level amps and that requires good sound reproduction.
I have a couple of EV powered PA cabs and they sound great.

well there ya go. i dont know much about class d cuz it hasnt really trickled into the guitar amp world yet.

I'm supposed to be building a setup with a class D amp. I should really finish the project and let y'all hear it.

I didn't ask for anything unusual next day is pretty normal for in stock items unless you're really going from end to end of the country... and I mean like Scotland to southern england.

Amazon even do same day.

Normal for countries that have a foot print only slightly larger than the county i live in plus the one that neighbors me to the north






fastest i get for shipping here on just about anything is about 3 days. And i bloody pay for it. Amazon sometimes offers me free 3 day shipping but i have ot fill a minimum order from the same seller most times and i just just can't justify greasing bezo's pocket like that.

On top of that i watched an absolutely nauseating episode of marketplace (in the vid below) on Amazons carbon footprint and environmental impact due to return management, cardboard waste etc etc etc. This may in fact only be a Canadian / North American problem but it's just fucking gross. The less money i have to throw at Amazon the better.



don't get me wrong, I'm not here preaching, i totally understand Amazon is an unstoppable beast right now and it is the first stop for a majority of most consumers. I don't judge anyone who does what they think is right for their budgets and lifestyles. I just can't get behind how they run their operations. espically not after watching that. . .
