Possible Tiny Terror problem? (Power Transformer)

[Pop]

Looking at this head:

Fantastic deal on this thing, especially with the case and different tubes. Anyone know if the "power transformer shift" that appears to have happened might be a big problem? I don't know much about those. Have a look and let me know what you think!

Very much appreciated.

it should be fine. I've had some slanted PT's before and the amp has worked fine

The two Traynor's I own have such huge heavy transformers they actually have slowly pulled down via gravity over the 40 years they've been alive (also mounted facing downward unlike the Terror) - I would think so long as the PT hasn't evacuated it's chassis in a cataclysmic shipping failure and pulled connections away you've got nothing to worry about especially if you can try it first.

Thanks friends.

Now if I can just get a hold of the guy. I watched a lot of demos and it seems to sound like a really sweet distortion straight from the box. I've read it doesn't take fuzzes and stuff too well... hmmmmmmmmm.

[Holy Schnikes]

If it's anything like the OR15 then it def dislikes fuzz pedals. Too much preamp gain going on with little to no headroom.

My favorite amp/sound ever is my tweed Blues Deluxe that I've had forever, but it's conking out on me and is getting too heavy for me and my back problems.

I had an idea to have a custom "head" made that was everything from the Blues Deluxe except a few things; it would basically be:

The clean channel only with
1. Bass
2. Middle
3. Treble
4. Presence
5. Bright switch always on

No reverb tank or overdrive.

Then have a custom lightweight cabinet made. Maybe I'll start a new thread for that.

Thanks!
