Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Orange’s OB1-300 is a 300W, rack-mountable bass head built around separate clean and driven paths. Its Blend circuit leaves the low end clean while adding adjustable gain and harmonic drive higher up the signal, then combines both paths with a dedicated control. Use the Blend for anything from a clean level lift to a heavily driven setting while retaining low-frequency definition. The post-Blend active EQ gives Bass, Middle, and Treble shaping after the gain mix is set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live bass rigs needing clean low frequencies alongside adjustable upper-harmonic drive.
- Studio or stage setups that need separate gain-and-blend control before final EQ shaping.
- Rack-mounted bass amplification with remotely engageable Blend control when used with the optional footswitch.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does the OB1-300 keep the low end clean when drive is added?
Yes. It applies distortion to upper harmonics while the lower frequencies and clean signal remain unaffected.
02Can I control the driven and clean portions separately?
Yes. Gain sets the upper-harmonic distortion and Blend adjusts the mix between clean and dirty paths.
03When does the EQ operate?
The active EQ sits after the Gain and Blend controls.
