Orange Amps?

[dylanrlarsen]

I'm building a bass setup with 2 4x10 Orange Cabs. I would also on occasion use just a single 4x10.

What orange amp would be the best to run 2 4x10s or 1 4x10 without blowing the speakers? (preferably a hybrid model)

 

[danielfnj96]

well how many watts and how many ohms are the cabs you looking at

 

[Mr. Foxen]

Not blowing speakers is down to you using your ears. Also why Orange, limits your options pretty severely?

I don't think Orange makes an amp that can't be run with one or two of their obc410s. Pretty sure the only hybrids are the Terror bass series.

 

[dylanrlarsen]

Okay. Well then which one would work better? the terror 500? or the terror 1000?

I wouldn't pair either of those heads with Orange brand cabs. They are a lot of image and hype, and little in important features.... Like internal damping materials.

Doesn't seem like you have a lot of options.

Not to mention, they're ABSURDLY heavy. If you want something that matches, you can get an orange 410 with a wheat grill cloth from avatar. 1/2 the price, 1/2 the weight, twice the performance.

If you can afford it buy the AD 200. They are pricey! They sound great! Try ebay... If not, either Terror will do the job. And don't listen to the Orange haters. I found an Orange 4x10 for $360. And Orange has a long lineage in the music world, next to names like Ampeg, Fender, Vox, Marshall, which for me counts for something. I already have a tube amp or I'd be saving for that one. Yes, yes, Avatar is great, blah, blah, blah!

Orange AD200 has a magic of its own, different voicing to many other heads with an emphasis on the lows more than mids but still very tight and punchy. One of my favourite heads - try one first and if it floats your boat buy one with confidence based on my experience.
