To piggy back off this, the Micro Dark has no business sounding as good as it does for the price it is. Would love to see your review of that little lunchbox monster.

@@FuzzedDronesI have one. Make sure you plug it into a 1x12 or larger. I plugged it into a Marshall 4x12 and cranked it to max volume. Like the guy said, it sounds way better than it should. Plus it has an fx loop so you can add eq, delay, reverb etc. The orange 1x8 cab (that you usually see paired with these amps) is fun if you want a little rig to take with you on a trip, but it sounds small and kinda lo-fi

My introduction to Orange was getting a Micro Dark and having my jaw drop after plugging it into a Marshall 412... That led me to getting the Dark Terror, and now i own 6 different Orange amps and are amongst my favorite of all time now... You HAVE to plug it into a good 412 to truly experience that little beauty... And now i always tell beginners to get a Micro Dark first... Very cool to see this comment.

I have a Micro Dark, this amp is a beast, even at 20 watts. This thing can take pedals like a champ. I mainly use it for recording, but I will connect it to my 2- 60 watt cabs to blast the house and the neighbors. I love the FX loop feature and the headphone jack.

I've never been a great guitarist, and I'm an apartment player, so I've never actually bought myself any real amps. For years I used a Tech 21 Blonde or Tech 21 Oxford as DI to record, which was good enough for me to be happy with for making beats. Then I got a Two Notes M C.a.b. + that made everything sound even better. Still, it just felt like something was missing. I've 'upgraded' to a Joyo Meteor II (based on Orange) amp, and that really sounds better than any of the Tech 21 pedals I was using. Hopefully one day I'll get a real Orange amp. Maybe the Dark Terror, OR15, or AD30.

I have a micro dark but this thing sounds so much better and more beefy and also slightly more focused in the low end without a pedal. I'd get one but I don't have much use for another lunch box amp I'm trying to get more big amps 😂

This is one of those amps that I want to love but I just can't. I had one and regrettably sold it. I say regrettably because it is a fine amp, loud and portable, and it could definitely be my go-to amp. But at the same time, I had no real use for it as I found it too dry and fizzy for modern metal and too heavy for hard rock/classic metal. The right boost AND the right cab can make it sing, but I couldn't find the right combo. Great video anyway :)
@Drust492 ай бұрын
this is my second tube amp first time Harley Benton tube 15 but I wanted an amp that could make big modern sound and Doom and that accepts pedals well and frankly I'm not disappointed and all with a disconcerting simplicity but it's gotta take care of it

Good video, I have to admit I always found the gain of the Dark Terror too fizzy for my taste. You should also try out a Boss OS2 for boosing an amp. It's basically a SD1 on steroids.

How well does it take a Big Muff? I love the sound of a Big Muff into a slightly dirty amp, but each Orange amp I've had does not take them well at all.
@heckatron25862 ай бұрын
I’ve found the best way to run muffs into dirty orange amps is to keep the gain/distortion/sustain knob low and run up the volume and tone to taste, kind of like when you run a tube screamer as a boost.
