There’s no secret as to Orange’s high-gain amplifier mastery, and with the Orange Limited Edition Dual Dark 100 White, a true fan favorite is back in spectacular fashion. Dropping in classic British fashion, this Orange Dual Dark is decked out in white tolex and carries with it all the great design, technology and style of the original Dual Dark 100.

This Orange classic clocks in with four stages of gain across two channels, boasting plenty of grit as well as flexibility to fit the tone to one’s own design. Gain and master volume controls on Channels A and B mean that impressive tones can be achieved on either end for a formidable sum. This Dual Dark’s B Channel takes notes from the Orange Dark Terror with lightning-fast attack and an intuitive Shape control first seen in the Thunderverb series. Channel A on the other hand, takes its own lead with a completely new design with a thorough EQ section that allows for tightening frequencies and accentuating the unique characteristics of the channel down to the last detail. Whether seeking bone-crushing distortion or classic cleans, the interactivity available with either channel on the Dual Dark makes for a highly customizable experience.

Footswitch control over different aspects of the Dual Dark opens up new remote opportunities for experimentation and performance. An onboard attenuator circuit, accessible via footswitch, allows for additional control over how distortion manifests after the preamp stage. This means the Dual Dark can be cranked for authentic saturation, and then lowered in volume while retaining all its character. Additional functionality to this Dual Dark includes a valve buffered FX loop for incorporating one’s favorite time-based effect pedals to the signal without affecting the amplifier’s infatuating gain.

Coming together totally as a key entry in Orange’s line of high-gain beasts, the Dual Dark 100 White is a classy variation on a classic.
