Over at Egnator's site, one dude thought he could get close to Orange Tiny Terror in a side by side comparison with his Vox module channel B....could a topboost, maybe with some voodoo magic modification, get in the ballpark?

Or is there another module whose basic platform may be Orange transformed, or is this just not reality with any of the mods? For discussion, let's say an aggressive Orange like the Rockerverb
 
Well, I'd imagine if you stuck in some dirtier tubes (but still on the bright side) and used some bright pots, and used capacitors that took out some lows and low mids, maybe you'd get pretty close. Call me crazy, but with the Plexi, I can get very close to the Orange sound merely by turning the bass and middle down, cranking the treble, and turning the bright switch on.
 
I have a TopBoost in the PeteShop. It won't be an Orange clone, but I hope it gets some of that flavor

Go to gigmods.com, second page of clips, your module is there. I wasn't trying for an Orange tone though... I haven't played through one in years and even then it was just for a few minutes. It does have a nice high end 'sparkle' to it. :)

Oh, and doing a tiny terror is going to be kinda hard without EL84 output tubes... and after the new year I'm going to do some modules that sound like amp modules that Randall doesn't offer yet. I learned a lot doing my Ecstasy, just gotta figure out what I want to try to clone and put my nose to a grindstone :)

I know you have way to many things to do but:
It would be really cool to get some 1086 clips up if you could.
Im getting mine modded by you anyway, but it would still be cool to hear what you do to it.
