General

Orange's Terror Bass 500 Bass Head is a hybrid bass amplifier head that strongly resembles the famous Tiny Terror Lunchbox. Inside, there's a highly powerful 500-watt transistor amplifier with a tube preamp equipped with two ECC83 tubes (the same preamp as in the AD200B UK bass guitar amplifier). It's an extremely loud, manageable and grand-sounding bass head that is perfect for proper vintage rocking!

The connectors

This rugged bass guitar amplifier has a powder coated aluminium housing, fitted with several tone controls and connectors. You can hook it up to an 8 or 4-ohm speaker cabinet, or two 4-ohm cabinets. Additionally, the Orange Terror Bass 500 H features a balanced XLR output to directly send the bass signal to a mixer. Moreover, the Terror Bass also allows you to loop a series of effects in the signal and set the input level to match either a passive or active bass guitar.

Orange TB500 Terror Bass 500 watt bass amplifier head
Wrote the following about Orange TB500 Terror Bass 500 watt bass amplifier head
Ik wilde graag een licht apparaat, en deze Orange is dat! Makkelijk in gebruik, maar met een grote range: de Terror Bass biedt heel veel! Wat een geluid, meer dan genoeg voor de kleine optredens die ik heb :-)
