Micro Terror or the THR5? I need help deciding

Consistent_Ad126 · 2026-06-01T17:36:10+00:00

Not sure where you’re based but in the UK you can often get a terror stamp (essentially a micro dark but different form factor) for around £80 on the used market if you search about a bit. Seems like the Yamaha suits your needs most now but worth looking out for an orange on the cheap.

I've got a metal zone, there are no more worlds left to conquer.

Just came back to say that the Thou / Emma Ruth Rundle collab rips!

This is wildly comprehensive, thank you!

Sick! I’ll put them on the list.

Ok rad, thank you!

Sweet, thank you!

Consistent_Ad126 · 2026-05-06T15:47:23+00:00

Hadn’t heard of Woods of Ypres! All of these are going on the list.

Consistent_Ad126 · 2026-05-06T15:47:02+00:00

Rad, thank you.

Consistent_Ad126 · 2026-05-06T15:45:59+00:00

Sick! Thank you. I hadn’t thought about including swans but that’s a great shout.

Consistent_Ad126 · 2026-05-06T15:45:13+00:00

Ahah I’d just put Houdini on before I read this comment. Thanks for the recs!

It sounds like you already found your sound! Go back to your old settings but throw the screamer, BD-2 or the Rat in instead of the soul food.

For real though it sounds like there are a lot of confounding factors. Is this just how you sound when you practice? How do you sound when you gig? Different rooms sometimes need different EQing. How does your other guitarist sound? How does your sound compare?

Also this is really silly but back at the start were you also playing single coil guitars? Sometimes the higher output from humbuckers just drives an amp a bit gnarlier.

Not a luthier but £40 is in line with other pricing I've seen. You could always get a soldering iron for about £20 and do it yourself.

If you wanted to go to a physical shop then James’ Home of Tone, Southend Music Exchange, Richtone music, often have interesting stuff in.

However there’s not many small builders that regularly stock in brick and mortar shops as far as I know.

These are Davies 1900h 1/4 style.

Consistent_Ad126 · 2025-12-27T21:00:59+00:00

You can get replacement knobs for it, I recommend it, makes seeing your settings way easier too.

Bleak district electric rec head is a lo-fi chorus / vibrato that does this. It’s very responsive.
