The Orange Micro Dark hybrid electric guitar amplifier head puts great high-gain tones in a simple and very portable package. Based around Orange's popular Dark series of amplifiers, the Micro Dark offers the same searing gain and tonal versatility as its big brothers, but boasts the same tiny format as the Micro Terror. This mighty mite crams 20 watts into a head about the size of a small lunchbox. If you need a simple to use, portable amplifier, with huge tones, check out the Orange Micro Dark. The Dark series of amplifiers make no secret that they're engineered for high gain heavy metal. But even with the few knobs on the front panel, you'll be able to quickly dial in a large variety of tones from metal grind to spanky cleans. And if the huge range of tones available aren't enough, the Micro Dark will work with most guitar speaker cabinets, allowing you to fine tune your tone. There simply aren't many other amplifier heads this small that can keep up with the Micro Dark's 12AX7-driven tones, and 20-watts of power. At under three pounds, the Micro Dark amplifier head is a sinch to transport to any recording session, rehearsal, or gig. And it's diminutive size makes it an easy fit in any room, no matter how tight the space may be. Killer Orange tone doesn't have to come from massive rigs. The range PPC108 guitar speaker cabinet clocks in at just over 10" across. Designed to be coupled with the orange MicroTerror guitar amp head, the PPC108 houses a special-design 8" speaker for punchy tone. The same rugged construction used with larger Orange cabinets was used on the PPC108. And the same cool orange Tolex, basketweave grille cloth, crest, and badge identify this cab as distinctly Orange. If you have the Orange MicroTerror head, then you need the Orange PPC108 guitar speaker cabinet. Grab one and start rocking today!
