Orange has added to its popular and growing range of micro-amps with the launch of the Orange Micro Dark.
It joins a range which already includes the Dark Terror and Dual Dark amps and has the same Shape Control interface as the others plus a 12AX7 driven, high gain pre-amp and a solid-state power section capable of 20W of output. It can be paired with any 8-16 Ohm speaker cabinet. Other features include a transparent, fully buffered effects loop and headphone / line output with Orange’s signature CabSim circuitry. There is a matching PPC108 Speaker Cabinet, which can used to make it a portable practice rig.
Nico Santora of Suicidal Tendencies, is a fan: “I’ll never forget When it was first shown to me, I was just like, ‘Wow, I’ve never seen a micro amp THAT small’. And then we plugged it in … and I literally lost my mind with excitement. The Orange Micro Dark is about to take over Band Practice. I’m able to plug into a full 4 × 12 cabinet, and it feels and sounds like a monstrous 100-watt amp. I remember just staring at the thing wondering how It could produce powerful tones Search! The Micro Dark really is a game changer.”
