Orange Micro Dark – Real Amp Tone in a Pint-Sized Head

The Micro Dark distills the core DNA of Orange's Dark Terror and Dual Dark into one of the most compact amp heads on the market. The hybrid valve/solid-state design centres on a 12AX7-driven high-gain preamp that punches well above the weight suggested by its small chassis.

Key Features

• 20 watts of hybrid valve/solid-state power
• 12AX7/ECC83 preamp tube for genuine valve character
• Intuitive Shape control from clean to brash high-gain
• Transparent, fully buffered effects loop
• Headphone output with built-in CabSim circuitry for silent practice or direct recording
• Works with any 8–16 ohm cabinet
• Compact smoky-black chassis fits in most gig bags

Ideal For

The Orange Micro Dark works as a silent practice tool via headphones, a direct studio recording solution through the CabSim output, or a genuine gigging head when paired with a cabinet like the PPC108 or a full-size PPC412. Rock and metal players will appreciate the high-gain preamp, while the Shape control brings enough tonal range to cover cleaner styles too.
