15 watts tube amps

[Marco KTL]

Hi all!
I own an Orange Tiny Terror hard wired edition, but I would like a second choice for a more "american" and aggressive sound: lots of modern heavy metal raging gain!
Any suggestions?

Krank Rev Jr

Doesnt get any more "Metal" then that amp. I own one and I love it!

Edit: Oh and its 20w not 15w ...lol

 

[Marco KTL]

Thanks a bunch!!!

 

[Trevoire520]

Yep the Krank JR's are your only choice for that I think.

In a few months I'll have a 10 watt SE 6L6 based amp, with my Hellfire preamp in it. Should be a great small recording amp!

No Blackstar love here?

Mesa Express 5:25 ?

I can probably sell em for under $800 as well. Less parts means better price (and easier to build)

Does the Mesa Express line have enough gain for "modern" metal tones? Can it do anything heavier then Metallica?

What do you mean heavier than Metallica? But it's actually really funny that EVERYBODY plays Metallica licks with that amp on youtube

But seriously: put a tubescreamer in front of it, and you should be in the "metal zone" (no pun intended).

Can you do a 240v version Wolfe? and are you allowed to sell to Australia? Would definately be pretty keen to be one of your first customers on one of these!

Also, do your amps come with a line out (incorportating the power section) or just a preamp out for people like myself who record using impulses?

Cheers

seriously, dude, do you see this happening in a near-mid time future?

Also, the recording preamp is also a fucking slayer idea.

I am also interested in these "15-25 watt" amps, specifically the ones for metal.

Upon my research, there are many:

Krank Rev Jr
Blackstar HT-20
Jet City JCA20
Mesa Express 5:25
ENGL Gigmaster
Orange Tiny Terror (in which you already have)

A lot of these amps will benefit/need a boost to get into the territory in which you want.

There is also Egnater amps, specifically the Tweaker/Rebel, but I have not tried any of these myself and have gotten mixed opinions on what gain level these amps can achieve with a TS.

Good to know. The higher the gain the better.

I'll have to try the T-Screamer/Express combination, before buying my new micro watt.

So far it's between a Blackstar HT, a Krank Rev Jr Pro, and (now) a Mesa Express.

We'll see how it goes. Maybe even a Wolfe amp, if they are ready soon...

Well, there is also the Bogner Alchemist. And Jet City 20H. And Marshall Haze 15. Atleast the Haze needs a bit of a boost.

^This!!!


I want my self a mini hellfire, UK version.

 

[bryan_kilco]

+1 to Mesa Express

+1 to Blackstar (these little fuckers sound pretty good!)


also, the new Rectifiers have a 10W setting, I do believe.

but that's getting a bit into expensive territory.

I only buy transformers with dual primaries, so yes they work in any country.

My FX loop send is +4, so it's a line out bypassing the power section. and it's usable while on standby, so no cab needs to be plugged in if you want to be completely silent.

Wolfe, we need the MicroFire/MiniHell/TinyWolfe now!
