I love how warm orange feels in general. Those analog electronics they do are wonderful

I think its your playing that makes all these amps and basses so cool

That croaky overdrive tone you talk about is the signature voicing of these amps. The larger and full tube AD200 is exactly the same. It’s an agressive and grindy tone that, I agree, a lot of players wanting to explore tube amps might not like. But I personally love it and is the main reason I charged from an SVT-CL to an AD200.

I've been playing the Terror Bass for like 1,5 years now and I absolutely LOVE it ! Love the dirty overdrive, love the warm clean tones, love everything about it. Also don't be fooled by the name alone, it really does a lot more than just loud overdriven dirty tones. What you didn't mention I think is the price tho. I think it's increadibly cheap for what it does! Paired with the Sire V7 or P5 you have one hell of a mid tier setup for pretty much any situation you could think of. I giged with it, recorded with it and I couldn't be any happier ! Would love to see you dig deeper into valve amps. A comparison with the Ampeg SVT-4 Pro would be amazing and very interessting I think, since they are somewhat similar and fulfill similar roles..

mine is literally coming in the mail today from sweetwater and im sooooo excited for it!

Whatever that purple Jazz Bass was, that was a very beautiful tone you got out of the combination.

Hi Patrick, If I remember correctly the EQ is a Fender tone stack so "flat" should be 2-10-2 or close to that on the knobs. Hope this helps!- Brent, VT

Nice to see the HB 414. Same color as mine own. A nice instrument for sure. And the Orange amp sounds like an Orange amp, of which I also approve strongly. Thanks.

I like my Orange 50w combo that I use in my videos (no valve preamp) and like Orange products. I dug the tones here, but the lack of a line out is a bit of a deal breaker for me. Great vid dude! EDIT: DI on the right side. Noice!

The tone with the JMJ at 4:47 is unreal

I love my terror bass! I recently got a Kemper but the simplicity and sound of the Orange ain't goin anywhere.

This is the best amp review I have seen. Thank you for using different basses and play styles. Cheers!

No need to stress about warming and cooling down with Preamp tubes. Power tubes 100%. And sounds lovely in your hands, i had the ad200 but couldnt get to grips with the odd Eq

My sunn 300t was having a lot of issues and with the tube shortage I decided to check out the orange terror. Found a used one and I have to tell you, I have never been as satisfied with a rig. I run it through a Mesa 1000 (410x115) at 4 ohms and I can’t believe how clean I can get it. Takes pedals like a gem and again, I can throw it in the case and take it wherever. I think my bass in the hardshell case weighs more. Couldn’t recommend this head more for a gigging bassist.

Thank for the video. I have one and I really dig it so far!

Got the Terror Bass in February 2021 and been loving it so far!

I had a bass terror when they first came out loved the amp had some issues with power when using a 5 string ended up selling and getting a ad200 kept that for years sold that because it kept breaking down now I enjoy a svt vr and haven’t looked back. Love tube amps even tho I spend most of the time using a helix into a Mesa walkabout.

It sounds fine. It is just hard to justify an amp when my Fender Super Bassman sounds as good as it does. Light, cool product.

I had one of these and was able to trade it for an AD200 Mark 3. They sound almost identical, they only start to differ once you start turning the gain up though, that’s where the ad200 pulls away from the Terror bass pretty hard. The AD200 has some of the best overdrive I’ve ever heard out of an amp, it’s devastating. Though the Terror bass can stay cleaner, longer and has the di and effects loop so it has some pros over the the Ad200 which has none of that stuff. The terror bass is also less than half the price of the AD200, smaller and lighter and has more features. They are both very very loud also.

I love my terror bass 🧡

Would be cool to see Mesa Boogie Subway reviews. D350/D800/TT800 T u can contact Mesa Boogie to have some?? Thanks @Pat

it’s my favorite bass amp besides the ad200! i love the basic controls, i don’t like too many options anyway. i run mine as clean as possible, by cranking the volume all the way up, then using the gain as the master volume. and clean switch engaged of course. makes my pedalboard sing! i like to stack dirt pedals so it makes the signal as clear as possible. and using two obc112’s is plenty loud for all my gigs, unless i go into the doomy shit, then i bring my ad200 and bigger cabs. i’ve even complimented my terror bass rig with an OR15 into a 3rd obc112 for high end gainy sparkle, shit sounds so damn good

It has a passive tone stack similar to the Fender Bassman where 2-10-2 is close to flat. They are VERY interactive. Alot of people won't like that. The new one you reviewed is more versatile than the old one, but less powerful. The old one was 500 watts into an 8 ohm load, and test more than 800 watts for a 4 ohm load.

Great video mate! You should take a look at the IdiotBox Effects pedals, especially the Blower Box Bass Distortion. I think you'll like their offerings, some of their dirt pedals are as heavy sounding as Darkglass for bass atleast in my opinion.

Thank you. I use a darkglass 500 V2 but i thinking about to Switch to the Terror Bass.

You should do a shoot out of a Ampeg SVT-CL and a Peavy VB-3

I used to play the original Terror Bass 500 but recently switched over to the Fender Bassman 100T. I don't know what it was but I never really got the tone from the Orange that I was looking for and the DI out was terrible. The Fender on the other hand sounds amazing with the tube growl you get from an all tube amp.

Ampeg SVT classic, Vintage Reissue or V4b. Ashdown has a bunch of them, I know you just did the terror bass but the AD200 from orange is great as well. Fender Super bassman. Traynor has a few as well. Would love to see these demo'd. I definitely prefer tube amps. Lol

Patrick Hunter !!! hello patrick!! that good video !!! I'm about to buy a team mate like these but what do you think of the ocb 115 over the ocb 112. will the 115 be more powerful??????

Please, test the Laney Digbeth DB500H

Thank for the vid

Great for Iron Maiden tones.

Nice video, man! Since i'm owning a Orange Crush 50 Bass i was wondering: How does the 'Gain' from the Terror Bass compare to the 'Gain'/'Blend' from the combo, because i can get some really sweet distortion out of the combo. Technically if I would upgrade to an amp/cab, could i get compareable tones out of the Terror Bass? Any kind of insight would be much appreciated!! 👹🤘

I'm torn between one of these and a Laney DB500H. Looking to play some stoner doom but still be versatile for my other bands so I could use some input (no pun intended hurr durr)

finally a rig that makes it conceivable to take an amp on the gig lol

You should review some of the Mesa bass amps or the Fender bassman

I have a couple issues with this amp. The DI is absolutely terrible if you try to run any sort of distortion through it. Super Shrill and fizzy sounding. Made the mistake of letting the sound guy run a line through the DI instead of micing the cab when we opened a 500+ capacity sold out show at the beginning of the year and it sounded horrid through my monitors. Also, it struggles with volume and gets a bit anemic when you start pushing it. Would not recommend if you play in a loud, heavy band. Gets completely lost in the mix even through my ampeg 8x10. Recently picked up the Darkglass 900v2 and it sounds immensely better. Love my AD200 but I think the terror bass is going up for sale soon.

is it as loud as the solid state 500w ?

Mesa has been putting out some great stuff!

Try the Traynor YBA 200 alle valve head, it’s a monster!

Hmmm this or an OB1-500?!

I had the Terror 1000. It was great and should have kept it. I tried different tubes and it had a darker sound that was ok but not for me.

I want the terror bass 1000. Put it back Orange. Also, why do you have the most expensive 810 on the market?

I think you should make a review of the Fender Rumble 800 HD head and compare it with the Bassman 800 or that Orange. Those Rumble heads are very powerful and configurations are endless. Price tag is among the lowest in the industry and I wonder why!

Are they loud as a concert bass Amp but small?

What is a "natural" tone on an electric instrument?

Idk. Lately I'm struggling with mine. Compared to my Bugera Ampeg clone the tone is just very muddy and undefined.

How is this vs the little bass thing

ampeg for tube bass sound

This would pretty mush be perfect for me. Too bad I don't have the funds 😪

Haaaaaa another GAS attack 🧠💣💨

Yes!

See if Orange will send you an AD200 tube head to demo :) Bring a friend to help you lift it! :)

Why do you tell us about the weird drive sound but then you don't demonstrate this so that we can hear what you are talking about and decide for ourselves?.. bonkers.

The cons section is MUCH LONGER than the Pros section.

Can anyone give me a comparison between this and the little bass thing..I am ready to buy one or the other ..is the Terror louder? And I would imagine the Little bass thing has a little more eq control...any info appreciated..I have asked before ....pretty please. FFS with sugar on top...Thanks.

Consume Orange for that vitamin C hit the doctor keeps talking about

The unnecessary standby switch for a single 12ax7. You don't need a standby switch in an amp. It's only there if you want to keep your amp on and tubes warm while you're not playing the amp. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eMmfqc-WmMm3oIE.html

All that talk about the drive tone and in the end nothing?

You only need three knobs. This I need 50 knobs to shape my tone. People don’t really care. The tone comes from your hands and you should be able to shape the tone from your guitar not the amp. The amp should be able to give you a little bit more out of the speakers that you’re not getting, but that’s about it. You really only need three knobs the simple the better.

I need to become KZfaqr so my poor ass can just be sent all kinds of stuff lmao generally speaking and joking, IK a lot of stuff you guys dont get to keep.

Do you really like playing that Harley Benton Rick? Lol or are you obligated to?

Why does everyone sound so guilty when they do sponsored demos 🤔

There's so much empty space in this thing and so many features left out.

Speaking of cute... 😏

Tubes are no Bueno

Explains how “weird” the drive sounds… doesn’t play it.

Hey Patrick, we wanna see the big boys. Ampeg v Fender v Orange. All tube fat stacks.

Only an American would think this is lunchbox size.

Great for Iron Maiden tones.
