Would you rather Peavey Mark IV or Micro Terror?

Post by rsfc »

So I’m looking For a fun, cheap second amp head. I was thinking about picking up a micro terror or even saving up for a mini dark terror. However, an old Peavey Mark IV popped up locally and it looks like a bit of fun (I’d be using it for guitar thoug). I realize it’s apples and oranges but which would you do and why?

I would mostly be using either for doom/stoner/drone stuff

I have an old Mark IV head, it can be a joy to use in doom/stoner/drone stuff. Not the bee's knees on the tonal front, but it's easy enough to carve in power points with the EQ.

I'd say Micro Terror if you're in a recording space (no experience with that amp, it's just my philosophy with smaller amps in general) and Mark IV if you need backline reinforcement.

So, both, obviously.

if you want a decent amount a versatility the Mark IV is probably the way to go

micro terror sounds awesome and if you are looking for tiny and portable it's a beast but I have owned and flipped 3-4 of them so far because at some point it just feels super limited

I play in a doom band and sometimes use my micro terror at band practice when I don't feel like lugging my heavier stuff around. It can hang but just barely. There is no clean headroom at all in a loud band situation so forget about using delays or reverbs unless you don't care about actually hearing the notes you are playing. I do like how it sounds when I play at lower volumes but I am looking to replace it eventually.

If you're getting something just to have fun and try something different, get the Peavey.

one more vote for the peavey although I already voted, you will pretty much always be able to purchase a micro terror, the peavey's won't be around forever

You don't speak for me.

But I agree.

Just remembered I had a Micro Terror. Too busy shitposting.

Yeah, it wasn't very good. Peavey, please.
