Orange Micro Dark Hybridivahvistin

Single channel valve/solid state hybrid amplifier head with total power output of 20 W that was built upon the overwhelming success of the acclaimed Orange Dark Terror and Dual Dark amplifiers. As these models, it sports a new high gain circuit which blends valve and solid state technology. The preamp uses single 12AX7/ECC83 valve and produces a huge range of usable tones with warm cleans, smooth overdrive and fat, singing distortion. Its robustly designed solid state output section means it can be paired with any 8-16 Ohm cabinet. The 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 user begins 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 anti clockwise aggressively boosts the mids, for a more ‘classic’ bark. The amplifier’s fully buffered, low impedance loop allows for any number of effects and cables to be patched in without sacrificing tone. It is incredibly transparent, meaning the pedal arsenal will perform to its absolute peak. A popular feature on Orange’s Crush Series amps, the headphone output includes the CabSim circuitry which faithfully emulates the sound of a mic’d Orange 4×12″ cabinet loaded with the flagship Voice of the World speakers. Headphones can be used for silent practice or connect to a mixer/recording console to capture huge, authentic Orange tones in the studio. Dimensions: 165 x 135 x 95 mm. Weight: 0.78 kg.
