What amp has more clean headroom? MT or MD?

I know both amps are not designed for cleans and breakup pretty quickly, but I’d like to know what amp has more headroom. Micro Terror or Micro Dark? Thanks!

I say Micro Terror stays clean for a bit longer that Micro Dark. However I could never get an audible clean tone with them in a band context. Crunch, maybe, but cleans, hell no.

They're both rated at 20w rms. You should get the same clean volume from either. But cleans isn t what they're designed for.
