0175westwood29 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 this looks like a nice head, and considering how nice the solid state guitar heads sound this should be pretty interesting. like the sound of a clean side to there amp can see alot of people liking this if the price is right i might look into one for a second amp. https://www.orangeamps.com/products/bass-guitar-amp-heads/ob-1k-bass-amplifier/ andy Quote
paul_5 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Is that a coffee percolator on the front? Looks good though. Quote
0175westwood29 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 blender for the 2 pre amp stages andy Quote
Wooks79 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Looks really nice, but after a certain price point what's the point? This would have to be nicely priced to be bought instead of just going for an AD200B surely? Quote
0175westwood29 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 true but considering how much the crush guitar heads are this will hopefully be around the price of the terror heads. andy Quote
dannybuoy Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Interesting! Lots of new NAMM stuff being unveiled, need to keep my eyes peeled! Quote
Cyrene Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 The guitar combos look and sound great. If these are an alternative to Ashdown MAGs then great. Quote
Salt on your Bass? Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Be interesting to see how it compares to the TB1000. Possibly more versatile. I'd also like to see a rear shot to see whats going on. orange sleeve extra....hmmmm..... Quote

[/quote] im guessing same power stage, so will be scary loud! but with the pre amps will be super clean. however just saw that sleeved its like 1599? thats from a mate but sorry orange ill get the ad200b andy Quote
thebassman Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Looks very nice, but 21.3kg for a class D seems a bit weighty. It would have to sound out of this world for me to want one. My OTB500 was about 6kg. cheers thebassman Quote
Salt on your Bass? Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 That just sounds wrong IMO for a Class D to be: 1. That expensive 2. That heavy I may be a little technically stunted though with regard to what Class D's major selling points are though and would happily be corrected if anyone else is better informed Quote

Roland Rock Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 [quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1390572498' post='2347029'] Do they say how much it is?

[/quote] At that price, there is some serious competition in the SS world - it had better be amazing! Agreed it seems odd that it's that heavy and class D. Quote
dannybuoy Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 If it's 21kg and costs £1600, then dafuq indeed. The AD200 is about 23kg and costs less! Quote
Roland Rock Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 The way I read it, it's marketed more towards the super clean, more hi fi end of the market (albiet with the option to add colour*), so is is a different beast to the AD200 *orange, obviously Quote

umcoo Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 These are up on GAK for order now. 1599 for a sleeved one and 1299 for the normal rack mount. Me want. Quote
0175westwood29 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 i want to hear it, part of me hopes they do a 500w version later this year! andy Quote
umcoo Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Yeah hopefully. 500w would be a lot better for those of us not playing stadiums every week Quote
0175westwood29 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 well im thinking the 1000w power section is similar to the tb1000, im just thinking more for a drop in price. andy Quote
thodrik Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I'm sure its a nice amp but over a grand for a really heavy class D that is more expensive than your flagship tube amp just seems kind of strange. I also don't see many people going for Orange for the 'clean hi fi' sound, though I'm sure a line of high profile endorsers will magically switch after being suitably impressed/paid/whatever. I do like the blending capability idea though. Quote
