I cant speak for the micro but the Dark Terror is one of my favourite amps I've ever played.

Wark Say posted:Hi, I sometimes test-drive amps for a couple of LatAm retailers for Orange Products, so I can answer this question. You don't mind a Cliff's Notes, do you? Oh man, thank you for this list. There was a while a few years back where I seriously wanted a Dual Terror but could never justifiably scrape together the funds. Between the Micro and the Micro Dark, what are your/people’s opinions? I’d lean toward the Dark because the cab sim and effects loop are things I’d use, but I’m just not sold on its tone or versatility vs the Micro T. Tons of reviews seem to suggest the Dark is more versatile but I listen to A/B tests and I just find it too metal-focused for what I want. I guess probably what I want is the best pedal slave for the (little) money. Something I can use to record and dick around during quarantine/the collapse of the global economy that can go from clean to hosed up either on its own or with pedals feeding it. I guess my best option in that case might be software (I already have an interface and the ME-80 can act as one too) but I don’t want to have to run everything through my laptop every time I want to play either. If your average 6/8/10” speaker didn’t sound so dinky I’d probably try to be satisfied with one of those. I just want a meat+potatoes amp but I lack the money and space to do it right.

Katanas are insanely convenient and work really well as pedal platforms! Also, finding the Katana 100 head for under 200 bucks should be piss easy. If you wish to continue on the "Terror Path", though, the Micro Dark is indeed equipped with an FX Loop and again, despite its simplified controls, you should be able to dial a neutral enough tone so that your pedalboard/multi-fx can do all the heavy lifting. Also? You can find Micro Dark Head x Mini Cabinet for less than 200 buckaroos.

My biggest shame is that I do 90% of my guitar playing in an office chair with arms or a recliner. I even got a nice barstool with leg rests at the correct height, but using it requires that I specifically go over and sit there rather than idly noodling while I watch Star Trek or whatever.

Agree. It's a wild neck to be unbranded. Double bound, gloss back, and block inlays. I'm going to treat the body as being primed. The paint is roughed up in spots and I doubt it's been sanded to 400. Then going to rattle-can it with flat green, get a can of Stewmac gloss. Then teach myself soldering. I also have to go through the body on the drill press, since the body is set for a top-loader but he wants it through-body. Plenty to learn. Fun stuff! Might also mess around and teach myself to do a fret-level. Huxley fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Mar 26, 2020 |

Nice! Dark greens have always been a favorite guitar color for me. If you're planning on using the pots that came with the kit, you might want to get some new knobs as it looks like the ones in the photo are for solid shaft pots instead of split shaft. Edit: It just occurred to me that the vol/tone screws bag could mean screws for the control plate and not for the knobs. Solid shaft pots need set screws while split shaft don't, so that might be what I jumped to conclusions on, but might as well check just in case.

Glad I'm not the only Trek noodler. I sit on my piano bench though, it lets my thicc rear end spread without loving up my position and it's the perfect height.

I’ve been torturing myself watching videos of people playing telecasters it’s the first thing I’m gonna buy when i’ve recovered from all this garbage(lord knows how long that’ll be), I think I want one of the blue ones but the silver metallic looking ones are cool too Also thanks to all the pedals in bias fx I never woulda bought I can play rage against the machine songs and bulls on parade feels so good to get the actual sounds close; I don’t have an expression pedal so it’s not perfect but i can get like high school talent show close

I don't usually like warm colors on guitars but the orange one is pretty nice. Or if they had one with yellow body, white pick guard, and bright blue hardware that would be dope. Also teal and gun metal grey. Or pastel pink. If i turned into a dude with 20 guitars 12 of them would be different colors of the exact same guitar probably I'm also thinking of trying 9's or 8's on the tele, I've never actually tried a lighter gauge than 10's but it sounds interesting and I want really bright clangy mids
