Overview

This was the first Dual Dark 50 I had. At the time, I also had the Rockerverb 50 Mk III and Thunderverb 50 amps, and this was the third Orange I added to the collection. I spent some time comparing them and while I really enjoyed this amp, I got an offer I couldn’t refuse and sold it off. Since then, I’ve bought another one to replace it and I’m glad I did.

Please see the other one (which I still own) for my thoughts on this amp: 2017 Orange Dual Dark 50
