Awesome!

The clean sound surprised me. Crystal sound, with the addition of gain, a very responsive dynamic sound is obtained. I didn't really like the sound on a heighgain, but with the pedals it sounds just amazing!

Such good cleans

If this had a 3 band/3knobs equalizer it would be perfect. I have mine running through a 112Vintage and it's great for home practice.

great amp

So great that I bought two. Does metal and rock, but very good clean tones as well. Loud if you want. I tried changing the tubes for "better" ones, but I couldnt tell any difference really. I knew it was small, but surprised it was this tiny. Anyway, really great!

Stellar cleans

Overdrive sounds are nice, stellar clean sounds which makes the Micro Dark a perfect pedal platform with an american flavor. Buffered effect loop, not a common feature at this price. No need to change the tube either.

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.

Orange - check, Micro - check, Dark - check

F*** cleans

If you need high gain and are on a budget this is perfect. Really benefits from an overdrive in front. Otherwise it gets a little muddy on low tunings.

love it

What can anyone say...

Amazing, just amazing.

It's just amazing how much that tiny amp can produce.

It came with a Psvane ecc83 tube from factory, and sounds just killer.

I paired it with an OD to boost the signal and a graphic EQ in the FX loop for more versatility and the results are just perfect.

Totally deserves the credit.

Bof

A l'air d'être d'assez bonne qualité, mais le son n'est pas terrible. Trop "dirty" trop vite.

Excelent!

As a metal guitar player, I must say the distortion is really nice for such a small amp head.

The clean tone is awesome! Plugged all my stuff after a test and I totally recommend it. Excellent purchase.

Pro: Great tone, excellent clean, decent distortion. Compact and light weight

Cons: It is too loud for my house! Everyone wants too kill me.
