Orange Terror Bass
Orange · amplifier
The Orange Terror Bass is a compact hybrid bass head pairing a valve preamp with a powerful solid-state output, 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 and usable dirt without a heavy all-tube head.
