Clarky Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) I am looking to buy a small amp head and am thinking hard about the Orange Bass Terror. However, I am aware that the Bass Terror is not exactly the smallest available (ideally it would be something I could slip in the large pocket of a gig bag pocket or at least a small shoulder bag) and, having liked the tone I used to get out of a Markbass R500 (their 'rock amp' with valve pre-amp), I wondered about the new Little Mark Rocker. It appears to be basically a downscaled version of the R500 but with LM bells and whistles (notably the VLE control). I know they are not due in the UK until end-March but has anyone heard one or seen a demo of one? Edited March 3, 2010 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also be interested to hear what these sound like. I wonder how MB have worked the overdrive?! If im honest Clarky, I have a sneaking suspicion the balls out rock tone of the Bass Terror might be a great option for you. I tested one out and it definitely breaks up nicely and weighs bugger all. Its simple yet effective and has some tubes, (I think!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
