The Korena take
Orange’s Terror Bass places one 12AX7 preamp tube ahead of a 500W hybrid power section with a Class-D amplifier. Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble and Master controls work with a tube-preamp switch to set the amount of tube saturation. The 12AX7 section is built around harmonically rich overdrive and natural compression. An effects loop, balanced XLR line out and speakON speaker outputs give the head distinct connections for recording and speaker-rig use.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bass rigs needing a balanced XLR line output alongside speaker outputs.
- Recording sessions that benefit from an effects loop and tube-preamp saturation control.
- Club or arena bass work requiring 500 watts of hybrid amplification.
