I would vouch for that.
Orange amps are generally very reliable.
The Terror series doesn't have a valve rectifier anyway though, so this doesn't arise.

I have to say, getting on for 9-10 months down the line, the Rocker has been awesome. I only play at home for 2hrs a night or so, but it's brilliant. Very solidly built and sounds awesome. GAK were fantastic with the original purchase and the replacement too. I was only actually without the amp and able to play it for about 2hrs as by the time I got home from work the next day I had the new one and the old one was away back to them.
In my experience, we see much fewer valve failures in Orange amps using EL84s that other brands.
To put this in perspective we installed over 150 EL84's into amps last year.
Orange not only tend to use lower HT than most manufacturers they also use 1k screen grid resistors rather than 100 ohm, which is the "correct" value because VOX used it.
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
I absolutely love the Rocker 15, the head and cab option wasn't around when I bought mine and the combo is all I will ever need I'm sure, but the Terror and Vertical 2x12 must be superb.
Anyway, to the OP... I'd say get one.
