Orange BT1000H Terror Bass 1000-Watt Bass Amp
Orange · amplifier
The Orange Terror Bass is a compact hybrid bass head pairing a valve preamp with a powerful solid-state output, here in the 1000-watt version, delivering Orange's warm tube bass character in a small, lightweight, gig-bag-friendly box. Its simple control set and tube-driven grind made it a favorite for bassists wanting valve warmth without a heavy all-tube head.
