Orange Amplification Terror Bass Amp Orange Amplification has launched the redesigned Terror Bass, which is a Class D bass amp. The uncomplicated external layout of the Terror Bass is like the original with the addition of a clean switch. Inside, it is a 500-W hybrid bass amp with an all-valve preamp and a solid-state power amp. This gives it a sound akin to the Orange flagship bass amp, the AD200, with the added advantage of allowing bass players to back off some of the gain early in the input stage, offering them more headroom and smooth clean sounds. Bassists can play through an 8-ohm cabinet and it will deliver 250 W of power, or put it through two 8-ohm cabinets to get a full 500 W. A limiter switch protects the amp by preventing the output stage from pushing too hard into 4 ohms when using 500 W of power. The Pad Switch helps players adjust input sensitivity by up to 6dB, making it suitable for active or passive basses.
