BassAdder60 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) I have the excellent Orange LBT head as my spare amp head which was new last July I noticed the compressor control was a bit crackly when turning ( was like it from new ) so reported it to Orange who said to return it to PMT PMT then said it would go back for repair ( to be honest I was hoping they would swop it over ) so I thought instead of the hassle and possible risk of shipping it and waiting a while I took it upon myself to investigate. Opened the top and sprayed contact cleaner into the pot and turned several times. Put it back together and issue now gone, result. Took 30mins to sort and it’s now even better than new. Still think they are often overlooked in favour of the Terror series but the LBT has a tube feel to it and it’s a loud amp. Had considered selling it last year but for now it’s definitely a keeper albeit as a standby to my Ashdown Update : Decided to send it back to PMT and they replaced it with a new unit 👍 Edited June 13, 2022 by BassAdder27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I quite like the look of these. Demos sound really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple to get a good sound and the Opto Compressor adds a bit of boost and slight grind if pushed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I've had a LBT as my main gigging amp for a year (or maybe two). Use it with a BF Super Compact, never had any trouble, good loud ballsy amp. Unfortunately, it has been 'resting' recently as I seem to have developed a strange passion for Ashdown ABM combos, and have bought three over the last month or two, the most recent purchase was about an hour ago! Any gig that involves stairs will see the LBT/SC come back instantly - no way am I carrying an ABM combo up and down stairs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpInfNed Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I see it hasn't got a mute button. How it works to turn off the Little Bass Thing: simply turn down the volume and press the button on the back? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Decided to put mine up for sale on here ( I have three amps and one must go ) Virtually unused as purchased as a backup amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it do a nice Duck Dunn sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suitable for most genres I think and a loud 500w head too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
