obbm Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I got a promotional mailshot from SoundsLive the other day publicising their new web site. Included were a number of discount vouchers including 10% off Orange amps. Not being one to ignore a bargain I placed an order for a 500-watt Terror Bass which instead of the listed £412.39 brought the price down to £371.15 + carriage. A good saving and certainly the best price I've seen. They are due in stock within 2 weeks so now I have to wait, and wait, and wait. It'll be interesting to see what they go up to when VAT rises again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll also go with my Epi 2x12, 2 x Epi 1x12s and the UL310. Just depends which I can fit in the Smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guybrush threepwood Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Yeah, these sound interesting, have you seen the cabs that go with them? A 4x10 that's the half the size! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 It arrived this morning ahead of schedule but I haven't been able to try it as we were without power for hours. It came with a nice little gig-bag but there is no user manual. When I have some spare time I'll whip the covers off and see if I can work out what the 4-ohm/8-ohm switch does. Unusual for a solid-state power amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eude Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Nice one Dave! I'm coming very close to shifting my LittleMark 250 to replace it with one of these. Can't wait to hear what you think of it! Even better that you'll be able to compare it to yer own MarkBass too Cheers dude, enjoy!

guybrush threepwood Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 That is pretty damn tasty looking... Does it make toast as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheButler Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) It looks virtually the same as the Dual Terror that the guitarist in my band has. That thing is mighty, really loud and a tone full of character. If this is in the same league, then i'd consider these. I'm not too keen on the cabinets though, i remember reading in the other thread about these that the technology was a step back in the past and the 4x10 will just sound more or less like a 2x10... but weigh the same as a 4x10 - i see the point in that.

Cheers, Eude[/quote] I am waiting for GAK to get back to me, see if they're doing the offer still. So, all going well i could have one next week. I won't have a cab for it though, hence this proposition! I'm thinking of putting it atop a Barefaced Compact; which my significant other says she might fund a bit of for a christmas pressy!

Musicman20 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Ah...I emailed Orange a few months ago. I think that photo wasnt supposed to be released, as with all amp companies they always have a new version in prototype....and the 1000 version is apparently still being tested and tweaked. I think they will probably wait til summer....like I might do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
