The Mesa Boogie TT-800 is a bass amplifier head from Mesa's bass line, a compact high-power design in the same vein as the Subway series. Mesa has produced bass amplification alongside its guitar amplifiers for decades, and its modern bass heads pair valve preamp stages with efficient power sections to deliver substantial output from a portable chassis. Detailed independent review coverage of this specific model is limited, so the description here is confined to what can be established with confidence about its format and its place in the range. It is aimed at gigging bassists needing significant power without the weight of a traditional valve head.
The Orange OB1-500 is a 500-watt solid-state bass head with a distinctive blendable parallel circuit that mixes a clean low-end path with a driven, gritty signal. Single-channel and powerful, it is built for rock, punk, and heavier bass styles needing clean punch and aggressive grind at once, with the blend control as its signature feature.
