    The cleans on the tiny terror were noticeably more articulate and less muffled. Should be obvious given the price difference, but the tiny is definitely the way to go.

    Best comparison out there for these two amps...I think you've sold me on the Tiny Terror. I was going to buy the Micro Terror, but the tones just aren't there. The Micro sounds a bit on the muddy side. I think the Tiny Terror with an OCD would sound EPIC! Thanks for the great work man!
    I'll probably end up getting the micro dark and the tiny terror.

    There's something very odd about the EQ of the Micro Terror. There shouldn't be any difference between them at Bedroom level really. In comparisons the Micro Dark doesn't really have that issue, and the tone of the Micro Terror seems really odd in general.

    Problem for the comparison:
    What ohms was the cab set to?
    If it was 16 ohms for both the amps then the micro terror I doubt if it put out more than 10 watts at best.
    It needed 8 or better yet, 4 ohms to produce 20 watts and unmuddy what you hear.

    I guess the main selling point of the tiny terror is that the tone knob is actually usable...
    Honestly, "Dirty Sounds" on the micro terror sounded thin and tinny when you turned up the tone, and incredibly muffled when you turned it down. You can pick up a tiny terror used for around 300 usd, but they discontinued it. Fine by me, I wouldn't pay 600 dollars for it.

      Joshua Skolnick the micro has a 12ax7 preamp tube into a solid state power section which makes it a hybrid. The tiny has 2 12ax7's in the preamp and 2 EL84's in the power section which makes that one an all valve head.
