Orange Terror Bass 500 Amp - £300

Very Good condition amp, works perfectly. I've owned this for several years and it's had minimal use, as most of the time I play with in-ear monitors and have no need of an amp. This has been kept in the house in storage and comes out for 1 gig each Summer. Time to move on so I can re-invest in something I'll get more use out of.

Orange Website: "Maintaining the size of the original Tiny Terror, the Terror Bass is a 500 watt hybrid amplifier with a Class D solid state power section and the same preamp as our all-valve AD200B UK bass amp.

With the same great looks as the other Terror series guitar amps, and a rugged construction that will stand up to the road, bass players can now become a part of the famed “Tiny Terror Club.”

Orange 2x12 600W Isobaric Cab - £350

Very good condition. Cosmetic wear and tear visible in the photos, but again this cab has been used rarely and spends most of the time in the house locked in a cupboard. Perfect working order and packs a punch for such a small package.

Orange Website: "The revolutionary Orange SmartPower Bass Cabinets are ultra portable yet extremely powerful. The SP212 feature a ported Isobaric cabinet design and use lightweight Neodymium speakers.

Both speakers in the SP212 are front-facing, one behind the other. The space between the front speaker’s magnet and the rear speaker’s cone is airtight, ensuring that both speakers vibrate in conjunction with one another, thus keeping them in phase.

They may be small, but SmartPower bass cabs sound huge.

Having looked at the circuit diagramme, I can't see how this 'impedance switch' works; it's certainly not in the o/p stage. It seems to be affecting the input limiter in some way. Other sites suggest  that the amp actually delivers 250w at 8 ohms, which would be more like other similar designs. Maybe the 4/8 switch 'boosts' the input to compensate..? It would need a 'real world' test, with 'scopes and the like, to really know what happens. I think that I would plump for prudence, and judge more by what it actually sounds like in one's own situation, rather than try to understand the dodgy correlation between numbers and music.
Hope this helps (but it may not...).

I have no idea on the technicalities I’m afraid, but using an 8ohm cab with it I can tell you that is has plenty of punch and I have never needed more from it. Annually use it at a festival in a tent for 7,000 and has always given enough. I actually never ride it above about 40% as it feeds into other stage mics that they’re not too keen on when recording a live album. 🙂
