I noticed this about the micro dark I got today. The cab sim emulation is just terrible. I agree with others when they say using the send into the audio interface with the IR is the way to go

I’m looking to buy one of these small amps to do this.. I’m wondering if recording that signal alittle hotter just hitting red would yield much better results. In that first gain stage You allowed too much digital headroom for DI guitar IMO.

I do this with apogee duet, micro dark/headphone out into Ableton and i get great results!

I am using the head phone jack and putting it in my high end input on my randall rg100es . It sounds amazing. But I don't want to break my 80s amp head. Do you think that it will cause any issues.

So, you are attempting to tweak out the Cabsim emulation with the EQ band on that little mixer before hitting an interface? Am I visually getting that right? Because adding a software IR on top of the analog Cabsim emulation is going to end up being far less than ideal when you begin stacking overdubs and adding them to a full mix. It would technically make way more sense to just run the FX send into your interface and use a plugin IR loader within the DAW than to redundantly stack a digital IR on top of an already existing analog simulation. I mean, it may sound alright in a single track setting, but once you compile a full multitrack mix? Problem frequencies will start going completely squirrely real fast.

The knobs I tweaked on that little mixer were the input gain and panning, no EQ. This vid was for specifically using the headphones out but other than that I do pretty much agree with you.

If I direct recording from headphone jack, do i still need to plug the speaker output to a cab? I have asked a store which sell this amp, they said even you plug the headphone jack, the speaker output still need plug to a cab because there is electricity on it or you may broke the amp. Is it true?

Theoretically yes, the store is correct unless you use a power soak. But I have used it like that (not much but I did) and it’s fine. This has a solid state power section so that’s probably why it survived. I wouldn’t always use it without a cab because you never know. Best to ask Orange about that to be certain.

But what if plug the speaker out through a cab sim or DI box and to my soundcard is it fulfill the req of a cab?
@ThalamusV

No it doesn’t because a cab gives a necessary load for the power amp. The absence of that load might damage the amp. You would need something like the two notes torpedo or something similar to give that load to your amp and transfer the sound to your interface.

You will not damage the amp from running just the headphone jack. Read the manual.

Would it not be better to go from the amps FX send to the daw because the headphone out already has can emulation. The way you are doing it there is putting a cab sim after a sound that already has a cab sim. Not trying to criticise, just an observation and it will likely sound better that way and less muffled. That that is what I'm going to be trying when I get one or these amps hopefully soon.

Sure you could do that. But honestly it sounds to me almost like it has no cabinet emulation in the headphone out.

@@ThalamusV yeah I've heard it isn't the best, they never are though. I would be interested to hear what it sounds like through send as I fancy getting one of these for recording as I'm very bored of amp sims would rather use a real amp through Wall of sound

@@gregknight5141 I occasionally run my micro dark into the interface via the send, into an IR. Just make sure to attach a pair of old headphones and it should be just fine, sounding decent as well, as far as i can judge that, definitely a whole lot better than the headphone out. Of course, you're skipping the power stage tho, so it can come out rather quiet when using the headphone out to listen to yourself while recording. I don't have a link to a demo or anything, i can only talk from my personal experience.

@@saltymajor5806 thanks for that information, I might be pulling the trigger on a micro Dark tomorrow. When you skip power stage this way does the volume still work or only gain and shape? Also do you find using micro Dark with an IR is better than using all software sims? Like a better playing feel with it being a real amp essentially. Thanks

@@gregknight5141 No problem, i can only recommend doing so! The volume still works completely fine. I personally definitely prefer the sound, as well as the feel of using an actual amp. The VST i've mostly seen compared to the orange micro-amps is the cypress tt-15 by black rooster audio and even tho i have fairly limited experience, i always prefer the Micro Dark. Keep in mind that i only use free vsts. For the IR, i use the NadIR that comes with the ignite emmisary plugin. I mostly got the Micro Dark due to the price and the sound for that price, and am glad i did, whether i use it into the interface or a cab.

I really don't understand why they couldn't have put a real cabsim in there.
