A Classic, Resurrected

The Terror Bass hybrid head is something of a household name among bassists. Even after being discontinued, it remained a highly sought-after model, though elusive. Now Orange have brought it back to life with a couple of tweaks that look set to reaffirm its place among the most popular bass amps in the market.

500W of Hybrid Power

The Terror Bass features a valve preamp and solid state power amp, offering a gutsy, responsive tone that far outweighs its price point. Valve bass tone at this price is a rarity, and Orange have delivered in spectacular fashion.

Orange have specifically voiced this updated version to reflect the ever-popular tone of the AD200, a 100% valve behemoth. They’ve also kept the intuitive front panel layout but with an added clean switch, providing a little extra smoothness and headroom when needed. You’ve also got a pad switch that rounds 6db off the input sensitivity for dynamic sound regardless of your instrument.

Key Features

  • Class D Power Amplifier – The Terror bass is a 500 Watt hybrid amplifier with a valve preamp and a Class D, solid state power section. Analogue valve tone in a portable, compact lunchbox head.
  • Clean Switch – Drive and grit not your thing? Get a crystal clean tone at the flick of a switch.
  • Pad for Active Basses – The pad switch on the front of the Terror Bass reduces input sensitivity by 6dB, meaning the amp is perfect for active or passive basses.
  • FX Loop – The valve-driven FX loop on the Terror Bass is the perfect tool for creating your ideal signal chain.
  • Ground Lift – Eliminates any ground loop noise when using the Balanced Output.

Specifications:

  • Features: Single Channel, Hybrid – Class D Power Amp With Valve Preamp, Clean Switch, Variable Input Sensitivity For Active Or Passive Basses, Balanced Di Out, Fx Loop

Amp Heads

An amp head contains the core tone and power of a guitar amplifier without the built-in speakers, allowing you to pair it with the cabinet of your choice. This setup offers greater flexibility over sound and volume, as different speaker cabinets can dramatically change the feel and character of the amp. Amp heads are available in valve, solid-state, and hybrid designs, ranging from low-wattage studio models to high-powered touring rigs. They’re ideal for players who want a modular setup, precise control over their tone, and the ability to adapt their rig to different venues, cabinets, or recording situations.

Bass

Bass gear is all about laying the foundation of the music, providing depth, groove and connection between rhythm and harmony. From bass guitars and amplifiers to pedals and accessories designed specifically for low frequencies, everything here is built to deliver clarity, punch and control. Whether you are holding down a steady rhythm or shaping a more melodic bass voice, the right bass equipment helps you stay locked in and felt as much as heard.

Guitar Amp Head

Guitar amp heads contain the main tone-shaping and power section of an amplifier, designed to be paired with a separate speaker cabinet. They let you choose different cabinets to suit your sound and setup, offering flexibility for home, studio or live use. If you want control over volume, tone and character without being tied to a single combo format, amp heads give you a modular way to build the rig that works best for you.
