Orange Micro Dark 20-Watt Hybrid Head

After much player demand Orange is building on both its diminutive Micro series and high-gain Dark series with the aptly named Micro Dark. It has more gain than the original Micro Terror and it s smaller than the Dark Terror an awesomely potent combination. This 20W hybrid head comes loaded with a single 12AX7 preamp tube for authentic tube overdrive paired with a bullet-proof solid-state power section and stuck in a package that can fit in the glove box of a car. The end result is a deceptively loud head that s bursting forth with high-gain Orange tone.The controls are simple as can be. With just three knobs – volume shape and gain – it s unbelievely easy to dial in your tone. The shape control varies the midrange response along with the bass and treble so rotating it to the left will add mids and smooth the highs while a twist right will reduce the mids and brighten the tone. And one twist of the gain knob will show that despite its adorable stature this thing is no novelty.
