Description

Good things come in small packages
As the name suggests, the Little Bass Thing is a no-nonsense, featherweight bass amplifier, aimed squarely at the modern player. 500 watts of Class-D muscle coupled with a hugely powerful solid-state preamp, all in a diminutive package, mean this tiny toolbox delivers maximum tone with minimum fuss.
Simple but effective EQ
A parametric mid control and carefully chosen bass and treble frequencies, all with 15dB of cut/boost, ensure that you can dial in the ultimate bass sound not only accurately, but quickly too. Whether you’re adding the finishing touches to the perfect tone, taming a troublesome room acoustic or crafting something really over-the-top, the Little Bass Thing does it with engineer precision and the musical simplicity you expect from an Orange bass amp.
Class-A optical compression
The footswitchable (sold separately) compressor control on the Little Bass Thing’s front panel gives players instant access to Orange’s painstakingly developed Class-A Optical Compression circuit. With its unique sidechain and a response optimised for bass guitar, this single dial provides excellent dynamic control and a warm, classic feel, at subtle or extreme settings.
Helpful little extras
In addition to great tone and light weight, the Little Bass Thing also features a buffered FX Loop and a studio-quality balanced D.I. output with a ground lift switch for eliminating any ground loop issues. There’s also a -6dB input pad switch for active basses and hot pickups. With all its dynamic and tone-shaping capabilities, the Little Bass Thing also makes a great recording preamp when used without a speaker connected.

    This sound and loudness of this thing is very surprising. I've bounced back and forth from my AD200, and with my current setup using a Orange 4X10, I'm now wondering how often I'm gonna lug my heavy tube head to gigs. Use for hard rock/grunge/metal/punk. While there isn't a full on replacement for tube warmth, this is definitely close. The DI on back is a huge plus too. I even found a cool little customizable foam padded case at harbor freight to carry it. It comes with a built in compressor but I don't really use it as I already had one on my board. If you are looking for a small class D amp, I definitely recommend this.
