Unleash Sonic Firepower with the Orange Micro Dark 20 Watt Tube Hybrid Guitar Amplifier Head The Orange Micro Dark 20W Tube Hybrid Guitar Amplifier Head is a compact powerhouse that packs a punch. Despite its small size, this amplifier head delivers a massive sound, thanks to its unique hybrid design that combines a 12AX7 tube preamp with solid-state power amplification. This results in a warm and dynamic tone that's perfect for both practice sessions and stage performances. With a built-in cab-simulated headphone output, it's also an ideal tool for silent practicing and recording. The Micro Dark is a versatile and portable solution for guitarists craving the signature Orange sound in a convenient and affordable package. Valve/Solid State Hybrid Design The Micro Dark sports a new high gain circuit which blends valve and solid state technology. The preamp uses a single ECC83 (12AX7) valve and produces a huge range of usable tones with warm cleans, smooth overdrive and immense, crushing distortion. Its robustly designed solid state output section means the Micro Dark can be paired with any 8-16 Ohm cabinet. Shape Control Our exclusive Shape control varies the midrange response whilst interacting with the bass and treble. Working from the 12 o’clock position, a subtle nudge to the left adds more midrange and smooths the highs. A clockwise notch or two reduces the mids and brightens the tone. At the extremes the Shape’s effect becomes even more pronounced, especially as you begin to push the Gain control. A scooped, thrashy voicing with a ‘smiley face’ EQ is easily achieved in the fully clockwise position, whilst turning fully anticlockwise aggressively boosts the mids, for a more ‘classic’ bark. Buffered Effects Loop The Micro Dark’s fully buffered, low impedance loop allows for any number of effects and cables to be patched in without sacrificing tone. It’s incredibly transparent, meaning your pedal arsenal will perform at its absolute peak. Cabsim Headphone Output A popular feature on our Crush Series amps, the headphone output includes our CabSim circuitry which faithfully emulates the sound of a mic’d Orange 4×12″ cabinet loaded with our flagship Voice of the World speakers. Use headphones for silent practice or connect to a mixer/recording console to capture huge, authentic Orange tones in the studio.
