Orange Terror Bass 500 Demo
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 04. 2020
- The Terror Bass is back and it sounds better than ever. With a valve preamp and a 500W Class D solid state power amp, the all-new Terror Bass sounds closer to Orange's flagship AD200 than ever before.
Though the circuit is completely new, the Terror Bass retains the control layout from the original amp, with the addition of a Clean switch. This reduces gain and smoothes the top-end, giving this super-simple amp an even greater range of tones than its predecessor. From clean Pop sounds through to gritty Rock crunch, the Terror Bass can do it all.
There’s also a -6dB pad switch, meaning active and passive instruments are equally well catered for.
The Terror bass uses a lightweight and efficient Class D power amp, with 500 watts of power into 4 Ohms and 250 Watts into 8 Ohms. Coupled with the Balanced XLR output and valve-driven FX Loop, the Terror bass is perfect for any situation, whether it’s the studio, rehearsal or a life on the road.

Orange cabinets have been an industry standard for fifty years, the OBC112 cabinet is Orange’s newest addition to the range.
With rear porting and featuring a 400 Watt Lavoce Neodymium 12″ bass speaker, the OBC112 produces a surprising amount of bottom end despite its modest size.
Built from 15mm Birch ply, the OBC112 is light enough to be truly portable. The classic Orange picture frame design and our iconic livery are your guarantees of solid craftsmanship and build quality.

Thank you for doing a review that wasn’t mostly slapping. The majority of review videos are usually very slap heavy. It sounds cool, but I feel that most musical situations I’m in don’t call for it.
Starts out by tapping hahahaha
Yes thanks.
terror bass + pro series warwick + OBC410 + sansamp + diamond bass comp = perfection
I leave mids cranked and a good amount of treble, shit cuts through like nothing else.
Awesome bass head. \m/ both the clean and distortion tones sounds pretty cool. I especially like how it sounds with a chorus pedal. Plus that white elephant tune sounds awesome. Sounds like there’s some Black Sabbath influences in that song. Other than that, great demo on the bass head.
Nice track y'all made! 👌
I appreciate the honesty on your channel. It can be difficult to make an informed decision if the host just raves about every piece of equipment being demoed.
After watching, I actually ask myself if it’s the right sound for me instead of thinking I have to have one.
I have a Terror and I am head over heels in love with it. The tone! The tone! The simple lay out! It's awesome and worth every penny.
This White Elephant song kicks ass too. Bandcamp?
I'm glad you liked it! You can check out the full song here if you want: soundcloud.com/whiteelephant/allegory-of-the-cave
@@TheBassChannel Really liking that song! You wouldn't happen to have it on Apple Music? The link no longer works.
Excellent review. I agree with what you said about the gain stage. I prefer the overdrive on the OB-1 series. 👍
That song was Fucking AMAZING, thank you for turning me on to it. I don’t know if it was just perfect for the moment, but looks like I need to dig deeper into White Elephant. Cheers
These are sick.
An excellent channel
Nice band bro
Great vid. Sold!
Very cool Demo! I have the Orange Terror Bass Combo. I like it. Hidden 2x12, looks like a 1x12. It doesn't have the new features, but who cares. its pretty damn light and was only $500 for it. You can't get a better Tube amp for that price. It sounds killer too!
You should make another Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 video! It would be a lot better if you do it in your new format. Before, you never used to give much information beyond what ads say about a product, but now, you actually give opinions and do much more helpful demonstrations. That's why I think that the Tone Hammer 500 deserves a new demo from you guys!
Glad I'm not the only one. I've never been really impressed by Orange's bass stuff. No matter what I did with my OB1-500, it was a bland, uninspiring tone, but unlike with you and the Terror Bass, this was especially true for the cleans.
I can just listen to the playing and know it’s Josh.
I’m more into a cleaner bass sound these days; the Orange would be useful for what I am currently doing.
can the terror bass run without a speaker load? i want to know if i can use it as a speakerless DI for small gigs because it sounds so damn good.
F yeh I’ll stay to the end. I get so happy shying see a new video.
That said......
Orange isn’t going to be happy till they have ALL of my money, you’re getting greedy Orange!!!
I currently run a 1968 kustom amp and head, Absolutely love them both. I was looking for something more high end I can work towards would this amp be a good investment?
I have the first terror bass 500. Cracking lovely warm sound. Suits my needs perfectly. Im looking for a backup amp… might grab this new version 👌🏻 or maybe another hybrid amp.
The drive of this amp doesn’t work well for crunchy heavy tones, but it takes drive pedals really well and also sounds amazing standalone with a P-Bass and flats for Motown/blues/etc.
Nice Dingwall
I’ve had mine for a few years. Started using it as I was looking for reliable, lil dirty sound I was not getting from some larger Gk’s after 20 years. I have paired it separately at times with a vintage Marshall bass cab, mark bass traveler and ampeg 2-10, horn and 12 sub, playing in hard rock band and it is plenty loud in bar/club venues. Great sound and versatility. Highly recommend it.
@ThebassChannel... how does the dirt and clean compare to the newest Darkglass 900 offerings? The question most of us have.
It breaks up a decent amount if you crank the gain but you're not going to have nearly as much control over the dirt as you will with the darkglass amps... The terror bass is a good warm sounding pedal platform, I set it so there is a small amount of tube breakup and run my alpha omega ultra into the front as my main distortion sound.
Can you do the ashdown abm evo please ?
Is the Warwick giveaway still a thing?
Enjoy your vids. Stay healthy and keep the good content please
It is. But we still have a ways to go until our ...And Justice for All video hits 1M
@@TheBassChannel Noooo. Do not let this Warwick go!! Because I have the same bass and its always awsome thing when I can hear how my Warwick sound with all that gear :P
4:25 is wake of hillsong ?
sounds killer
Using this amp with a Sansamp in front of it? Didn’t Geddy use Orange amps with his sansamp racks?
Yes, Geddy used the AD200B alongside his Tech 21 preamps
Works well. I run a VTBass DI in front of the TB500 and it sounds fantastic.
Use a sansamp in front of mine... killer
I have the original. I put the Tech 21 dUg Pinnick sig, EHX Bass clone, Wampler LowBlow and Geezer wah. Perfect.
Never mind the Terror Bass... that White Elephant song is a real gem! :)
Here's the full song if you're interested. soundcloud.com/whiteelephant/allegory-of-the-cave
The terror bass is very loud. Perfect for gigging. Dunno what you was on about there
My mistake. I should have elaborated that I was predominately talking about it with just this cab. It MAY not be loud enough depending on your band and the environment. With a 4x10, though. You'd probably have no issues.
@@TheBassChannel cool... Yeah I see what you meant now. Thanks for the great content!! Keep it coming
Definitely loud enough with 2 Barefaced two10 cabs vs a loud drummer and 2 unrepentant guitarists hell bent on obliterating ear drumbs.
@@TheBassChannel the cab is 400 watts...still lots for bar gig..but add another and definitely no issues..
When it comes to lack of volume, here's my Pro Tip:
Don't use an Orange OBC 115". Go for a cab with more efficiency.
I had the luck to check out the Bass Terror 500 with an old, sealed 410" @ 8 Ohm, equipped with Celestion 10g50, built in the end of the 1980's. The amp was loud enough to help me cut through two heavy metal guitarists with 100 Watt Engl heads and a 412" plus a hard hitting drummer. The amp didn't even start sweating.
I would like to hear the Amp at my Tecamp L 810 @ 4 Ohm, or my L 215 @ 8 Ohm. But for me volume comes
1. From cone Surface
2. From the efficiency of the speakers.
Those OBC 115" cabs are known not to be the loudest cabs on the market. Use two of 'em, stack 'em to get at least one of 'em nearer to your ear. Then try again.
I use mine with 2 Barefaced two10 cabs and there is no issue with lack of volume
@@domboy666
See, just what I said.
My wife, charlie my german shepard, my stingray, and ......my terror
Why do you need to DI and Mic up the rig? There are those of us who would like to hear how it sounds without the processing
That band white elephant, where can I listen to their albums??? They sound quite good!
You can hear more songs here: soundcloud.com/whiteelephant
Has this amp been rereleased, or is this just a new video review? Thought I played this in a store last year, but didn’t find anything online on different versions.
Orange reworked the old TB ... the new latest version has a clean Switch!
amp sounds great... better without the pedals IMHO.
The original Terror was better in the sense that it more powerful. It was 500 into and 8 or 4 ohm. load. By the way, you like most other reviewers don't get the passive tone stack.
Now if only bands would write music in the register,
Metal is guilty of this.......
Ive had this amp for a week now. I cant get any dirty grit from it.
Maybe your bass isn’t hot enough or your attack isn’t hard enough?
@@TheBassChannel oh . i have great attack. And I am using a fender Steve harris signature bass. As well with fender p with geezer butler pickups and i have a fender p mij le midnight series and ibanez sr655...
I do hear a little "fuzz" but not like what i hear in the demo videos... I am hearing straight up grity dirt distortion.
You probably have to get new tubes
@@TheBassChannel Hi,,, Nice video. Can i use this terror head with a Orange obc 115 ???
Hmmmm this or the OB1-500...
The bass butler is so fucking great... but this was not as cool. White Elephant is badass tho!
i want one of these bad boys but i’m such a poor mf
now that the hype has died down, is it true that orange is shit?
Not at all. There's a reason Orange has been around for as long as they have. The drive in this amp may not be my favorite, but that doesn't mean it's shit. It's built solidly and the cleans are great.
why is there never any good bass players doing the tone reviews? trying to listen to the tone but all the sloppy playing puts me off so bad :/
You weren’t available so we had to work with what we had. I’ll tell Jayme Lewis to step up his game.
@@TheBassChannel next time gimme a call :P
