Orange Amplifiers Terror Bass 500W Tube Hybrid Bass Amp Head

The innovative Orange Amplifiers Terror Bass 500W tube hybrid bass amp head combines the coveted tube preamp of Orange's all-tube AD200B MK3 bass head with a powerful 500W Class-D power amp, yielding the highly sought-after tube tone at a fraction of the weight. The 12AX7 preamp tube saturates your tone with harmonically rich overdrive and a natural compression, which is then boosted to stadium-worthy levels by the mighty solid-state power amp. With simple yet versatile controls, the Terror Bass 500W lets you craft your signature sound in seconds.

12AX7 Tube Preamp Creates a Warm, Responsive Foundation

At the heart of the Terror Bass 500W is a single 12AX7 preamp tube, which shapes your tone with creamy overdrive and touch-sensitive dynamics. From subtle grit to all-out grind, the tube preamp reacts to your playing style and instrument with harmonic complexity and musicality. When you dig in harder, it compresses in a gradual, ear-pleasing way. The tube also helps tighten up the power amp, preventing a sterile tone.

500W Class-D Power Amp Delivers Thunderous Volume

With 500W of Class-D power at your fingertips, the Terror Bass 500W pumps serious volume for any venue. The lightweight yet high-powered MOSFET power amp design is highly efficient, reducing energy consumption while increasing the amp's capabilities. Whether you're gigging at a club or an arena, the Terror Bass 500W gives you headroom to spare.

Straightforward Control Set is Simple to Use

Despite its advanced design, the Terror Bass 500W is extremely intuitive to operate. Familiar controls include Gain, Bass, Middle and Treble EQ knobs to shape the tube preamp tone, as well as a Master volume knob to balance preamp and power amp levels. An additional tube preamp switch lets you adjust the amount of tube saturation. The back panel features an effects loop, a balanced XLR line out, as well as speakON speaker outputs for maximum recording and playing versatility.
