Orange Amps Terror Bass 500w Head Bass Guitar Amplifier

YOU KEPT ASKING FOR IT…

The all new, re-designed Terror Bass has arrived and it sounds better than ever. With an all valve front end, the Terror Bass is a 500W hybrid bass amp with a valve preamp and solid state power amp, making it closer to the sound of our flagship AD200 than ever before.

The front panel remains the same layout to the original Terror Bass but with an added clean switch, giving more headroom and smoother, clean sounds.

From clean pop sounds through to gritty rock tones the Terror Bass can do it all. A pad switch on the front for active basses takes 6dB off the input sensitivity. The effects loop is valve on the send and solid state on the return.

The Terror bass is a Class D amp with 500 watts of power into 4 Ohms and 250 Watts into 8 Ohms, the limiter switch on the back prevents the output stage from being pushed too hard into 4 ohms. The Terror bass is perfect for any situation, whether studio, practice or live gig.

                         

“It has the low end of the AD200 which is fantastic, it’s got a lot of growl to it, the high end is punchy and very clear it definitely keeps up with AD200 as far as tone goes.“

Steve MiccicheEvery Time I Die –   

“The Terror bass amp is cool because it adds a lot of warmth, it adds a lot of detail, it kind of allows me to shape what i’m doing and give it its best possible presentation.”

Sergio VegaDeftones and Quicksand –   

“With the Terror bass i have found reliability and tone, they are just flawless in every way.”

“I’ve completely redesigned the Terror Bass to make it much closer to the AD200 front end.”

Ade EmsleyTechnical Director  

I’m so glad the days of sh*tty sounding Class D amps is finally over. It’s solid, it sounds big and has everything that I would be looking for!

BassTheWorld.comReviewer –   

The 2018 version is considerably more versatile than the original – and it still provides wonderfully organic tones that rockers and retro-inclined bassists alike will love, while breaking neither back nor bank

The Guitar MagazineReviewer –   

I really think Orange has nailed it with this amp. I don’t know if we need to break our backs with these all tube things any more, It just doesn’t weigh anything.

DistortionReviewer –   

The Terror Bass is the latest addition to the much loved, Terror series. It delivers the classic British tone synonymous with Orange, from an ultra-lightweight lunchbox construction.

Guitar interactiveReviewer –   

It sounds so good! Whether you’re a clean player, a finger player, a slap player or you want a lot of gain… it’s cracking.

PMTReviewer –   

The tempered grit of the dirty boost paired with the Höfner would be the tone I’d track with all day, every day.
