Orange Dual Dark 100
The all-new Orange Dual Dark Series is a range of high-end dual channel amps. Put simply, these amps showcase Orange Amplification at their most innovative. The new amps build on the brand’s reputation for creating the ultimate British guitar tone. Bringing a new dimension of sound that delivers potent combinations of tone and the highest levels of gain the brand has ever offered.
The models have a completely new voicing for Channel A, different to anything else in the Orange Amp range yet still true to their heritage. Channel B is has the voicing of the Dark Terror tone. Both channels can go from clean through to crunch at lower gain levels and offer four stages of gain!
Launching at NAMM 2014 are the 50 Watt and 100 Watt versions, both feature footswitchable attenuators and Orange’s signature low impedance effects loop design. The Dual Dark 50 has an output that can be switched to 50 or 25 Watts. Output on the Dual Dark 100 can be switched to 100, 70, 50 or 30 Watts.
Both amps come with standard EL34s fitted but other tetrode valves can be used when biased correctly by a technician. The Dual Dark amps have been built with state of the art components backed by Orange’s ever evolving design and deliver the biggest amount of gain available in the history of their amps.

Re: Orange Dual Dark 100
The 'other tetrode' bit is interesting.
6L6, 6V6, KT66, KT88?
I wonder what they will say you can use in it.

Re: Orange Dual Dark 100
I agree, I hope they have a rethink on that before release...Bensnake wrote:It's... too black.
It looks very cheap to me but I guess they've tied it in with the name now. Not that it would be on my short list of Orange amps to buy anyway...

Re: Orange Dual Dark 100
Maybe they should put white control knobs on or something??
It will probably look better in the flesh tho...
