Orange Reintroduces the Terror Bass Amp

Orange Amplification Terror Bass Amp

Orange Amplification has reintroduced the Terror Bass, a compact amp that features a tube preamp and Class D power section. The combination makes it sound even closer to their flagship AD200, the company says.

The new Terror Bass retains the original control layout while adding a clean switch for extra headroom and cleaner sounds. It offers up to 500 watts of power into 4 ohms and 250 watts into 8 ohms. A limiter switch on the rear panel prevents the output stage from being pushed too hard into 4 ohms. Other features include an input pad for active basses, an effects loop, and a balanced output with a ground lift.

The Orange Amps Terror Bass is available for $799.
