Raslee Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Now that Orange have introduced the newer OB1's the OTB's are sadly being phased out, perhaps an iconic legend one day - well maybe. I loved my old toaster OTB. I had a fault on my first generationand out of warrenty OTB and Orange themselves fixed it for free with newer upgraded circuitry...top customer service in my books. Anyhow as the GAS prevailed I eventually moved my OTB toaster on but if i'm honest I have missed the crunchy distorted valve/tubes little blighter. So whislt tracking down the what I now understand as the last of the Terrors, not much in the UK unless at higher prices, i found this deal on Thomann £356 - Am sure thats cheaper than my first one was.

Dandelion Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Want one. Typically no spare cash when it matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interpol52 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 One workable sound. But so so good. I have the Terror combo 500 and an extra sp212 cab. Louder than Bombs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanAxe Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I was in Dawson's in Reading today and they had one up for £365. Not on their website though for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raslee Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 I forgot how great these beaut's were. Sure...the EQ is generally naff, but the sound....yummy! Can't believe i sold my first one - but how have i missed thee! Sooo happy to get one of last few around. This and a Markbass 15" is giving some creamy sweet motown vibes at the functions gigs lately - love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmachine2112 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 My opinion only-Mistake dropping the Terror bass all you need to do is stick a pre amp pedal in front of it and the EQ opens up as a lot of us know.. There is plenty room in the range for all of them.Valve-AD200,Hybrid-Terror,S/S OB1 that,s all basses covered. Hey Ho what do I know,sticking with my Terror and a totaly ineficient SP212 cab. All down to economics I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooks79 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I used to have one years ago, loved it, but had too many amps at the time (still do) so sold it. I always missed it after that... As soon as they were getting discontinued, I bought one, and I imagine it's staying this time, unless money gets tight again and needs must.

fretmeister Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Why did they discontinue them? I had noticed less people buying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
