Incredible...
I originally purchased this amp thinking it would make a good home practice amp and I'd buy an all-valve Orange head later to take into the studio and on tour (I now also own a Dual Terror but this little beast still gets regular outings).
What can I say? It sounds great even when you forget the size, price AND the fact that it's not even all-valve. It sounds simply unbelievable when you take those things into consideration.
I've used it in the studio a lot and it's always sounded great (clean, crunchy or just cranked loud for hard rock sounds) and it takes pedals very well too - I use it a lot with a Maxon OD808 in front but it responds very well to boosters and overdrives in general (and the effects loop works great). The one thing I'd prefer would be a tone knob rather than the shape knob, but that's just my preference.
I have also taken it on tour (being sick of schlepping heavy amps) and the laughter that came from the other band members quickly turned to shock and awe. It can easily drive a 4x12 cab and is absolutely up to touring. Absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants something lightweight that sounds good and won't break the bank.

Quality on a budget
I have this amp running into the Harley Benton vintage 2x12 and it's a fun combo. Mostly play blues and metal and can find sounds I'm happy with for both. For being a small amp it sure puts out a lot of sound. Having an effects loop is a nice little feature. I do find that I need an OD drive pedal though. All that said the amp has excellent build quality for for being dirt cheap, and sounds pretty good. I've already recommend it to a coworker.

Great value
For the price its very good, it was my first decent amp after playing trough a cheap combo.
What i liked was, very light,portable, decent clean ,took pedals well, its surprisingly loud,had plenty of gain but asked for an overdrive to tighten up the sound.
Cons , I wish it had some more eq knobs.
Headphone output is not good.

Good sound from a small unit
Wanted an amp to carry arround and practice that has good sound and lighweight. Decided to get the Micro Dark and the orange 8 inch speaker cab.
I was in a surprise when I tried the amp, the clean sound really blew my mind, very enjoyable and clear sound. When you turn up the gain it can get you anything from classic rock to heavy metal distortion (however with the 8 inch speaker from the matching cab it will get a bit muddy).
It is a very good and versatile amp.
Just to note that the shape knob it is not a normal tone knob. Counter clockwise boosts mids, clockwise scoops mids and boost treble
Very happy with this small amp

Nice little beast
The Orange Micro Dark amp head is indeed a nice little beast. Lots of gain available, especially with Humbuckers. Super light and handy; send and return system very useful. I still haven't tried it with a proper cabinet and the sound from the headphones is good but probably a
bit limited.
Highly recommended for apartment and overnight practice.
On top of that, Thomann was unbelivieble on this one: arrived in 24hrs from the order! Amazing!
