Building on the overwhelming success of our acclaimed Dark Terror and Dual Dark amps, we\u2019ve distilled thousands of customer demands into a pint-sized valve hybrid head \u2013 the Micro Dark.<\/p>\n
The Micro Dark shares the same intuitive Shape control combined with a new ECC83 (12AX7)-driven high gain preamp section, yielding screaming dirty tones that make a mockery of its miniature frame. Like its bigger brothers, however, the Micro Dark\u2019s smoky black chassis and simple layout actually disguise its cunning versatility.<\/p>\n
Of course, there\u2019s plenty of gain on tap to satisfy even the most discerning devotee of distortion, but this little beast is by no means just a one-trick Metal monster! Beneath the menacing exterior you\u2019ll find a rich and diverse palette of classy and confident tones. From squeaky clean to brash and mean \u2013 whatever your style \u2013 you\u2019re gonna love this thing.<\/p>\n
Other features include a transparent, fully-buffered effects loop and a headphone output with our popular CabSim circuitry. With the optional PPC108 cabinet, the Micro is an ideal practice rig\u2026 Plug into something a little larger, though, and you might find your new secret weapon in the studio!<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Our exclusive Shape control varies the midrange response whilst interacting with the bass and treble. Working from the 12 o\u2019clock 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.<\/p>\n
At the extremes the Shape\u2019s effect becomes even more pronounced, especially as you begin to push the Gain control. A scooped, thrashy voicing with a \u2018smiley face\u2019 EQ is easily achieved in the fully clockwise position, whilst turning fully anticlockwise aggressively boosts the mids, for a more \u2018classic\u2019 bark.<\/p>\n
The Micro Dark\u2019s fully buffered, low impedance loop allows for any number of effects and cables to be patched in without sacrificing tone. It\u2019s incredibly transparent, meaning your pedal arsenal will perform at its absolute peak.<\/p>\n
A popular feature on our Crush Series amps, the headphone output includes our CabSim circuitry which faithfully emulates the sound of a mic\u2019d Orange 4\u00d712\u2033 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.<\/p>\n
