I have a Crate Powerblock that I use as a backup, super loud and very easy to bring with me with its carrying case.

Never seen one of these Tone Blocks, looks pretty sweet though as well.

Yes, this is the better pick, and much more friendly on the wallet. But....having 200 watts available and a Direct out is a nice touch

Why on earth would you need 200 watts for a guitar amp?

You don't.

It looks well-engineered, though my PowerBlock is much better looking. I guess some people get all caught-up in that whole "quality" thing, though.

I think the fact it can be set to 10w, 40w, 100w and 200w make it a killer item.

Yes the Micro Terror is cool but it also caps out at 20w. I have been looking for something to use as a rehearsal amp so I can just ride my bike to jams and this could be a winner.

Yeah, gives plenty of clean headroom.
