Orange Terror bass and Orange 115 cab

[godofthunder]

 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.

Great cab. Obviously a EV TL-606 clone. Terror Bass is a one trick pony, but it's a cool trick.

 It is a one trick pony but its my trick! Really nice thick full vintage style tone. It compares nicely to my Hiwatts and Marshalls.

Do post something when you get to gig the wee beastie...

And that's all that matters!

Really?? Hiwatt comparison??? Hmmmm. Cool to know...

Baz, It's tough to explain, the amp has a very British feel to it, not just tone. 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.

Yeah Tom I was thinking the same thing perfect for a clean/dirty rig. Typical sound check for me with sound guy I have not worked with. 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

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.

I played the little beast when I was over at Scott's recently and it souinds sweet to me.  Full, beefy tone through a 15" cab.  I'd use one!
