British Glory mod FAQ

This page is a collection of the most common questions and answers about the British Glory And Orange Glory mod kits. If you need more details just send us an email to: gearupgrade4u@gmail.com


- Will this kit improve the sound quality of my Tiny Terror?

Yes. The Tiny Terror amp is built with industry standard parts.
We use premium quality parts to replace the most important components in the signal chain of the Tiny Terror and the final result is a better sounding amp.


- What will I find in my British Glory / Orange Glory kit?

Both kits include all the parts needed to complete the mod (capacitors, resistors, wires, switch... and so on), plus a detailed instruction manual (English language).
To perform the mod you will only need very common soldering tools (soldering iron rated 25W or more, possibly with sharp point, solder sucking pump..).

- Why should I turn my Tiny Terror into a JMP - JCM800?

The Marshall JMP (or JCM800) has one of the most celebrated sounds in the rock history, but it's a very pricey and insanely loud amp.
The Tiny Terror is a fuzzy sounding little amp, which easily gets lost in the mix, but it's very practical and has a reasonable loudness level.
Why don't get the best of both worlds?
If you like the vintage Marshall sound you will be enthusiast of this mod!

- Will the British Glory mod give me enough headroom for clean sounds?

Yes, absolutely. After the mod the Gain control of the amp becomes way more effective and sensitive: your amp will have a wider range of sounds, from a better Clean to a better Lead.

- How will change the BOTTOM END response of my amp?

Both mods give a more tight bottom end response than the original Tiny Terror, for better palm muting techniques.
If you need more bottom end just ask me before you install your kit, I will tell you what to do. 

- Can I install the British Glory / Orange glory mod on my Dual Terror amp?

Sorry, the mods are not available for the Dual Terror at the moment.

- The modded Tiny Terror in the demo seems to be louder than the standard one. Does the mod increase the loudness of the amp?

Actually the mod causes a slight loudness increase to the amp. Anyway, the main reason because it seems louder (especially when you are playing with a band) is the different frequency cut: with the British Glory / Orange Glory mod your amp will never get lost in the mix again.

- Will I be able to switch between clean and dirty tones rolling down the volume of my guitar?

 Yes, this trick works way better after the mod. The better balance between low/high frequencies allow your guitar volume to be turned down, cleaning the sound without turning it into mud-confuse tone.

- If I don't like it, can I bring back my amp to the original specifications?

Yes, the British Glory / Orange Glory mod are completely reversible. You just need to solder back at their place the original parts (or better quality parts, with the same values/ratings).

- How long will it take to install the mod?

The installation is simple, and usually takes less than 3 hours of work for an average skilled person. A qualified tech will do it in less than 2 hours.
The help of a second person could really simplify some of the tasks required by the mod, shorten the installation time and add some fun.

- Is there any risk to damage my amp installing the mod?

The installation process is easy, and if you follow the instructions manual there are no risks. You just need to relax and follow the instructions with care. The help of a second person could really simplify some of the tasks required by the mod, so if you think that something is too hard for you just ask for a helping hand.

- Will I have to drill a hole in my amp case to add the switch?

No, the switch is optional. The British Glory mod can be completed also without the installation of the switch, you will just have to choose a single value for the amp brightness and wire it inside the amp, instead of using the switch. The instruction manual explains this step by step.

- Which cabinet/speaker is the best for the British Glory Tiny Terror?

The British Glory mod works fine with every kind of cabinet and speaker.
If you are into the sound of vintage Marshalls you will probably get the most exciting tones from Celestion G12M Greenbacks, G12H anniversary, G12H30 or G12-65 speakers.

- Do you ship worldwide?

Yes, we do! worldwide shipping for just 7,30 Euros!

  1. Nice mod-opens up the sound and adds a bit more bite.
    And if you add the switch it gives a little more tonal versatility.
    Thanks Michelle !!!

  2. The amp doesn't seem as nearly loud as it did before. Do I still need to plug it into the mains after the mod?

    1. Hi there, if you are experiencing a volume loss, then you did something wrong in the mod process.
      It's probably just a matter of bad connection, please get in touch by email for proper assistance.
