    Panic not everybody!! The lighting & the ambient sound in this video wasn't great, but its all teething problems of being in a new space. We have bought new diffuses for the lights & have acoustically treated the ceiling to reduce the ambient noise. Things will be better in the shoot later this month, but there are going to be 5-6 more videos from last months shoot that might annoy you a bit! Cheers!!

    Just bought a Micro Dark (from Andertons, naturally)on the basis of this video. Sounds amazing - even the cleans! Only problem was that when the lovely lady from the delivery company arrived at my door I was washing my car, and had literally just soaked my jeans. It looked like I'd wet myself. Moral of the story is NEVER wash your car.
    Seriously, I can highly recommend the Micro Dark.

    I actually gig with this amp regularly. This head, an Orange PPC112 Cab, my effects board, my 96 Gibson LP Studio. For larger gigs I go speaker line out to the board on top of my mic'd cab. I swapped the pre-amp tube for a Groove Tube 12AU7, helped a lot with clean headroom, and I can still get that Orange sound if I push the gain to the 3rd and fourth stage. I actually sold my Peavey Valveking 112 combo because this setup is easier to lug around and for venues that restrict cabs on stage (like a worship gig) I can just go straight to the PA.

    • @stoneysdead689
      @stoneysdead689 3 месяца назад +1

      How are you running 20 watts into your board and not frying it? Are you sure you're not coming out of the send on the fx loop to the board? Or maybe out of the headphone jack? Because you can't run a powered lead to your powered board.

    • @DareBear2099
      @DareBear2099 3 месяца назад

      @@stoneysdead689 so this iteration of my rig is kinda done. But I basically ran my guitar to a tuner, compressor, two overdrives, a distortion and fuzz to the front of the amp. I used Different dirt pedals for different song types or stacking them for leads. I used the amps effects loop to run my wet effects at the time. The direct sound from the speaker emulated line out was passible but not very good looking back. Great little amp that I used primarily for worship. Had a wake up call when playing this amp next to an all tube 15 watt head. Would recommend as a reliable backup but it’s not going to replace an all tube amp or a direct to PA solution like a Helix or Quad Cortex

    • @stoneysdead689
      @stoneysdead689 3 месяца назад

      @@DareBear2099 Man- you are confusing me- there is no line out with speaker emulation on this amp. We're talking about the Orange Micro dark- it has a regular, analogue headphone output, a regular analogue speaker output, and a regular, analogue fx loop. There is nothing digital in it.

  • @KS622
    @KS622 8 лет назад +17

    Guys, buy this thing. I run it through a 1x12 fender hot rod deluxe cab (closed back, celestion) and it sounds awesome. I was looking for a cheap low wattage amp because the sound guys are always shouting i'm too loud. Well a hot rod deluxe at 1 just doesn't get the speaker and tubes working. This thing sounds like a cranked amp at low volume without the harsh high end of cranked fenders, just what I need! I play blues, rock, from led zeppelin and the doors to jimi hendrix and it works just fabulous! Just make sure you buy a cheap reverb/delay pedal with it.

    I am a proud owner of both the Micro Terror and the Micro Dark. Some similarities but enough differences to convince your significant other you really need to pick it up so you'll have all of the options available to you. The tiny speakers are great for practice or learning a new tune. The head has no problem pushing my Peavey 4x12 ValveKing cab and offers some nice tonal qualities. Good job djents! Keep your right hands in playing shape at all times!

  • @NNJATUNA

    Here's the review I've been waiting for! I have a Micro Terror and 2 Orange 8@ cabs and love it for use at home. I never go beyond 1.5 on volume at home and it's enough I keep looking at my front door in case the neighbours are banging on it. I intend to even use it in a band with a 2x12 that I don't yet have, and the one I'm buying has a mono/stereo option, so I have an idea to run the Micro and a Dark Micro into the two speakers....

    Hey guys. Now, I do LOVE watching you two, proper "guys I'd like to go drinking with" kinda feel to them. Can I make one little suggestion? You say that you are fixing the lighting and room echo etc. BUT, if I were you, coming from me, a customer, I would have the "brick wall" effect covered with black. The black background that you were using is far better for not just lighting reasons, but it also changes the contrast/view of a/the product. Hopefully this is good and constructive criticism?? Anyway, keep up the amazing work guys. I look forward to many many more great videos to keep me entertained on the long dark nights.

  • @matzer8846

    Very nice tiny amp ...
    The Cap10 plus his modded Strat revealed a very good cleanup and vol-pot reaction of the amp ... that's convincing and shows where this little beast shines! Just my cup of tea. I do agree: the 8" cab is just for home use but it seems to have a nice speaker cause the upper scale single note soloing sounded quite well through it. Would love to hear this one through a high end 1 x 10" ...
    Great demo ... thanks guys!

I've had a Rockerverb 50 for about 3 years now and just can't get it right, tried bareknuckles and EMG's, even gone up to 56 gauge strings and its just not tight enough and the gain gets too wild at the high end, even with a Keeley TS-9. I switched to a 6505 mini head and haven't looked back. Just my experience though.

    @ignaciomoll2290 3 года назад

    You should review two Micro Darks in series (stereo 20+20 hybrid amp with 2 channels (clean and crunch?) and 2 preamp stages.)
    Guitar > first MD input > FX send > second MD input > FX send to stereo multieffect > Left OUT to first MD FX Return > Right OUT to second MD FX Return
    Each Micro Dark into an 8 Ohm 2x12 cab.
    You get to tweak the two preamp stages using the two Gain and Shape controls and/or use the second MD input as a clean (well, cleaner anyway) channel, send to a multieffect and get true stereo effects, like a ping pong delay, for instance.
    Can´t wait to see you and the Capt test this rig!!

The 1x8 doesn't showcase how good this little guy sounds at all, it really wakes up through a good cab. If I had tried it in the store with the 1x8 I would have passed on it.

    Sounds very acceptable that headphone output. I just got the Micro Dark, I'm using just the preamp, but had no time to test CabSim output (I got it 2 days ago). Well, it was no cheap, but I'm really finding the value.

    The new place is nice but it looks kinda small, for my opinion. SUGGESTION! Maybe you should put those beautiful guitars on the backwall hanging so we could all see them. Also, what I want from EVERY review, Rob said that let's show the people what they can get. I feel frustrated when people don't show ALL the goodness in reviews witch you can get by "fiddeling with the nobs". Thank you Chappers and Captain, great video.

    Mine arrived today. Look forward to trying the forward loop for the pedals and I mainly bought it for the headphone option, which not many heads have that option in Australia. The friedman jj junior doesn't have it and I run it through a 4,12 friedman cab so the whole street has a listen. I could of went 2,12,however that would have same type of problems with loudness.Really suprised how small it is. Bloody amazing. Great price. Let's see how long it lasts.

    What is an FX loop? Is it like an easier way to plug in a pedal or something

    • @karniboy6549
      @karniboy6549 8 лет назад +10

      It's basically an input/output on the back of the amp for pedals. Some pedals like chorus and reverb sound AWEFUL before the distortion, when you run a reverb or chorus after the guitar and then into the input of the amp, the amp will distort the signal and sound bad. The FX loop is where you connect the effects into and the signal goes through those pedals after the distortion, which sounds much better.

    • @lilcurrio
      @lilcurrio 8 лет назад +4

      Karniboy Thank you! I did some research after I posted the comment and I got the basic gist of what it is. But this sums it up nicely

    • @bryand.5240
      @bryand.5240 7 лет назад +1

      LLCurrio on amps with no effects loop you can have a nearly identical effect by putting the pedals between the head and cab

    • @karniboy6549
      @karniboy6549 7 лет назад +5

      That's true..but be EXTREMELY CAREFUL!!! digital effects use DACs and the signal coming from the amp can over power the pedal and damage it severely! Analog effects should be able to handle it, but if you have the amp up too loud it'll damage the effect. I strongly recommend you just get a good amp with an effects loop, it's much safer and bettet and cleaner

    • @TheRealWilliamWhite
      @TheRealWilliamWhite 5 лет назад +4

      @@bryand.5240 That's a terrible idea, guitar pedals are designed to run with milliwatts of input, not 20-200 watts input.

    Would really have liked to hear some lower gain tones. I was enjoying what +CaptAnderton was doing near the end. He was getting some more of the types of tones I would like. Any chance we could hear some lower gain, less metal-y stuff. Maybe with a more "traditional", lower output pickup equipped guitar.
