The Orange Amplification Micro Dark is a 20W hybrid amplifier head with more gain and less size than ever before. Building on the success of the Micro Terror and Dark series, the Micro Dark packs Orange's signature overdrive and a 12AX7 preamp tube into a lunchbox-sized chassis to deliver high-gain tone in a portable package.

High-Gain Preamp Provides Authentic Tube Saturation

At the heart of the Micro Dark is a valve-driven preamp section with a single 12AX7 tube to produce creamy tube overdrive and rich harmonic distortion. The ECC83 tube adds warmth, depth and character to high gain tones, giving shredders and metalheads the saturated distortion they crave from an authentic tube amp.

Simple Controls Offer Versatile Tone-Shaping

Don't let the Micro Dark's miniature size fool you into thinking it lacks tonal versatility. With just gain, shape and volume controls, dialing in your perfect tone is intuitive and straightforward. The shape control varies the midrange response to produce bass-heavy tones rich in low-end, scooped metal tones with emphasized highs or anything in between. Crank the gain knob and unleash the beast within for face-melting overdrive and distortion that seems impossibly huge from such a tiny amp.

Optional Cabinet and FX Loop Expand Capabilities

Already loaded with a headphone output complete with CabSim circuitry for silent practice, the Micro Dark offers even more functionality with the optional PPC108 1x8 cabinet and effects loop. Pair the Micro Dark with the PPC108 cab for a portable yet gig-ready rig or use the FX loop to incorporate your favorite pedals. Record directly via the headphone out or mic'd cabinet for high-gain tones in the studio.

All the Essentials in a Diminutive Package

Everything you need for practice, performance or recording high-gain guitar tones is packed into the Orange Micro Dark's miniature chassis. Authentic tube overdrive, versatile tone shaping and connectivity options make this little beast an ideal companion for shredders and rockers on the go. Experience mammoth tone from a mighty mini amp with the Orange Micro Dark.
