Title: Orange Terror bass and Orange 115 cab
Post by: godofthunder on June 08, 2012, 06:53:59 AM: The start of my small venue rig. The 115 cab came on Monday, sounds great full, warm and punchy I like it a lot. I am still deciding on a second cab either another 115 or some 12s to go with it. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/godofthunder59/K87Orangeamp002.jpg)

Most of these hybrid amps sound to modern to me, I found the Terror Bass to have that vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr in the notes played, it's a bit blurry not super tight sounding and I like that, not staccato punch/snap but lots of sustain especially on the D and G string. I like it you may not, I am not saying that it is just like a Hiwatt but that it is a good stand in for my application.

I would agree. I borrowed one for a few days and A/B-ed it with my SVT III, and I personally preferred the punch of the Ampeg. If I were still doing the dual rig clean/dirty thing, the Terror would be perfect for the dirty side.

I bang a steady beat on the E string, sound guy, um yeah thats ok .......................... now can I hear your clean sound. Me, that is my clean sound :rimshot:

Sounds like all my sound checks too. Except then I stomp on my dirt pedal and they usually go for DI box only out of the house PA. :D
