Key Features
The Orange Micro Dark Valve Hybrid is an impressive micro amplifier from Orange which provides 20 watts of fierce high gain tone, perfect for rock and metal guitarists. This compact and robust metal head boasts three simple controls including the unique shape feature for increased tonal control.
Bursting with harmonic variety, the Micro Dark is capable of producing a range of glorious valve tones, whilst the solid-state output section allows connection to a range of 8/16ohm speaker cabinets. Also featuring a buffered effects loop, headphone output with cabinet emulation and 12AX7 preamp valve – the Micro Dark is the perfect amp head for both beginners and established guitars in a live or studio setting.
Product Ref: 390721
The Orange Micro Dark offers an innovative high gain circuit with real valve warmth and presence due to the valve / solid state hybrid circuitry. Incorporating a 12AX7 valve in the preamp circuit the Micro Dark is capable of deliver a huge variety of professional sounds from warm cleans to screaming lead tones. Additionally the solid state output section allows the Micro Dark to be connected to a huge range of cabinets with an impedance of 8 or 16 ohms.
With the ability to throw out an impressive 20 watts of output power the Micro Dark also features a 1/4 inch jack headphone connection for late night practise sessions. Unlike most amplifier heads the Micro Dark also has a innovative CabSim circuitry which accurately emulates the sound of a mic'd Orange 4x12 cabinet to allow silent practice or a direct output for recording applications.
Designed with compact size and ease of operation in mind the Micro Dark features only 3 controls for simple operation without sacrificing the tonal options. The impressive shape control varies the midrange response whilst also making minor adjustments to the bass and treble response allowing for a range of impressive sounds. When pushing the gain on the Micro Dark the shape control becomes less transparent allowing you to create scooped thrash tones and crisp high mid tones perfect for classic rock tones.
Use a lot of effect pedals? Not to worry, the Orange Micro Dark incorporates a low impedance buffered effects loop located to the back of the unit. Patch in your pedal board and experience the rich valve hybrid tone of the Micro Dark with all of your favourite effects.
