Anyone actually played/owns Orange Terror Bass 1000 ?

I've seen plenty of posts and reviews and opinions on the 500 Watts version. - Plenty (plenty!) loud, can get very gritty/dirty, too hot DI, very light, not a lot of EQ, old skool rock vibe.

What about its big brother? Does anyone own it?
Played it at a gig?

How does it compare to the 500W version?
I take it it would have more headroom for a cleaner sound.
But does it get equally dirty? What are the price differences?

In short, anything you guys know about the differences, pros and cons between the 2 terrors.

Bump, no one has the 1000W version? :O
That's quite surprising!

I have played through it at NAMM Shows, and it's quite impressive. That being said, the Terror Bass 500 is crazy loud, as it is. Still, I think that the 1000 might be worth the upcharge for the added clean headroom. Tonally, they sound about identical, but you can get more volume out of the "clean setting" on the 1000 (well and more volume playing dirty, as well, but again, the 500 is already loud as snot when you get some grind going - it just has its limits of how long you can keep it really clean sounding as you turn it up).

As far as I know the 1000's aren't available in stores yet. At least the shop that I've played the 500 in has told me that they haven't shipped yet.
