The volume and gain knobs round out the dirty channel. Did we mention that this amps has tons of gain? We know gain at Sweetwater, and this amps has enough for even the heaviest of metal heads.
Flexible power sectionThe Orange Dual Dark 100 head comes loaded with five ECC83/12AX7 preamp tubes and four EL34 power tubes. The onboard effects loop is also tube powered (it uses a single ECC81/12AT7 tube). The result? Big, beautiful, classic tones! When you want to keep the volume at lower levels but need to make those tubes cook, choose the low-wattage setting. It's ideal for the studio or for quieter practice environments. Want to make some tube-flavored noise at a reasonable stage or studio volume level? Choose the 50-watt setting. You can drive the power tubes hard without driving the neighbors away. When it's time to hit the stage, go for the 100-watt setting.
