      You want to learn how to prepare simply the best mashed potatoes?? Read on and I'll tell you!!
      So I was fishing one day and thought about how great some mashed potatoes would taste with some blackened catfish I had caught. Why was I fishing? Well, I suppose it all started when my father left us, I was only in the third grade. I remember I was home watching Tom and Jerry cartoons, it was a cool Saturday morning, low 50's outside, maybe 50 percent humdity, my mother was crying in the kitchen, my father told me he was going to get cigarettes and that he'd be right back, which I thought was odd, because he didn't smoke...
      *16 pages later...
      ... And that's how I ended up totaling my first car... So... About those potatoes. I found the greatest potatoes for mashing while on an expedition through the the Chilean mountains.

He has had it for years and I have seen it around the house for years and he was hard up for weed money tonight and was gonna sell his PA and he is a vocalist and guitarist so that is kinda important for him so I decided to take this little beauty off off his hands and give him some cash to get high. I figure we both got our rocks off. Hahaha

      I agree. I mainly listen to metal and thought about getting a micro dark since I knew it could pull off very heavy styles, but I'm glad I ordered a micro terror. It sounds like it could get the tones I want better, and since I also like a bit of black metal, it felt a bit better for what I'd like.

    • @user-sq4dy2hz3u
      @user-sq4dy2hz3u 8 років тому +12

      @@JosePineda-jn8jkit has a very “djent” sound, super modern, not very versatile. the micro terror distortion is super classic and might even be boosted with a tube screamer if you want a metal sound. idk it also depends on the pickups and the speaker i guess.

I haven’t been able to dial that half of the equation in though. For what it can do, it isn’t bad, just a very one trick pony on the gain side.

    Best demo ever! I like both, but worry whether the Dark will cut through the mix. My Micro sounds like a "Marshall DSL with bubbles". I played a small venue rock gig and used a DSL5CR (5 watts) at 8 on the volume knob. So the Micro or Dark might work in a small club. The Micro with an EV 12AX7 tube is 5 db louder than the DSL 5CR. Also, the Micro sounds fine without the effects loop. Agree with a reviewer that says the Dark is a bit muddy, but wow what a clean sound.

    I'd say get the micro terror (the light one, not the dark), and throw some booster or overdrive in front of it. The dark one has more than enough gain, but sounds really scooped. The original light one has a really punchy mid sound, punchy enough to cut through a mix/ live situation. Just boost the thing up for extra gain, and maybe buy some kind of eq pedal to boost the bottom end to make the sound fatter. I think the dark terror sounds great on it's own, but will be lost when used in a mix.

      Yeah but it's a different concept.The MT has standard tone(eq)the Dark has tone shaping which is basically mid range boost/cut/scoop.

    if I'm understanding this right, it seems that the terror is something you would use while playing with a band so you're guitar is heard better due to unscooped mid sounds and the dark would be something you would use if you're just practicing by yourself and that darker sound will compensate for the fact that you're only doing one instrument.

      Coming in late but what about both in stereo? I'm currently running my MD and Fender Princeton Chorus in stereo. I'm still considering an Orange Detonator ABY for a Dry/Wet setup or A/Stereo(Princeton Chorus/Roland Cube and B/Orange MD but so far I'm liking what I'm hearing. Amazing tone combos to be had.

  • @GogiRegion

    I think the comparison was great, but I think that there should’ve been a mention of how the Dark shape knob works because a lot of people here don’t seem to understand (it’s like an anti-mids knob, left is middy, right is scooped, with middle being fairly even).

    • @markn4526

    this video helped me decide what to get years ago. i got both. i absolutely love the terror. i use it for my main guitar distortion and dirty/slightly dirty guitars. i only use the dark for the real clean chimey sounding tones. i love how clean and clear the dark sounds dialed in to clean tones. kind of ass backwards but, whatever. i love this set up.

    Great comparison (best yet by far) I like both, but I think a beginner will get more "all round" use from the plain micro (imo). But at only $149 you can get both! Play with them for awhile and sell one if you must (going for $100 on ebay )Thanks for taking the time to make the vid!
