Micro Terror vs 44 Mag. Also- wah stuff.

Post by hashshashin »

Need a cheap little amp that I can toss in a satchel.

In a debate between the Orange Micro Terror and the Electro-Harmonix .44 Magnum.
Micro Terror seems the obvious choice with the Terror series tube preamp. However, I was hoping to obtain a bass, soon, and don't know how well the Micro would appreciate running down-tuned bass riffs through it.
They're both roughly the same, power wise. Does anyone have opinions on the headroom of either? I run a Sovtek Muff almost constantly.

I'm also in the market for a new wah (as my Cry Baby broke). I'd really like a Real McCoy Wizard, but they're mad expensive.
Not looking for another Cry Baby as I've become bored with them and they don't interact well with fuzz. BBE makes an intriguing model, but I haven't been able to find many opinions on them as they're under the radar. I like the Vox wah sound, too, but just don't have enough experience with them to know how they perform under high gain.
Are there any wahs worth mentioning that I might not know about? Ones that might work particularly well with lower octaves and fuzz? Maybe even a bass if the mood strikes me? It probably won't, but I'm not a fortune teller.
Or should I just be patient for once and save up for the Wizard? I'm not a patient man, so I'll probably argue about that suggestion.
