Orange Amps 500W Little Bass Thing Head Compact Lightweight Bass Amplifier for Maximum Tone
As the name suggests, the Orange Amps Little Bass Thing Amplifier is a no-nonsense, featherweight bass amplifier aimed squarely at the modern player. 500W of Class D muscle coupled with a hugely powerful solid-state preamp, all in a diminutive 3 kg package, means this tiny toolbox delivers maximum tone with minimum fuss.
Simple But Effective EQ
A parametric mid-range control, alongside carefully chosen bass and treble frequencies, all with 15 dB of cut/boost, ensures that you can dial in the ultimate bass sound not only accurately but also quickly. Whether you are adding the finishing touches to the perfect tone, taming a troublesome room acoustic, or crafting something really over-the-top, the Little Bass Thing does it with engineered precision and the musical simplicity you’d expect from an Orange bass amp.
Class A Optical Compression
The foot-switchable compressor control on the Little Bass Thing’s front panel gives players instant access to Orange’s painstakingly developed Class A Optical Compression circuit. With its unique sidechain and a response optimized for bass guitar, this single dial provides excellent dynamic control and a warm, classic feel at subtle or extreme settings. (Footswitch sold separately).
Helpful Little Extras
In addition to great tone and being lightweight, the Little Bass Thing features a buffered effects loop and a studio-quality balanced DI output with a Ground Lift switch to eliminate any ground loop issues. There is also a −6 dB input PAD switch for active basses and hot pickups. With all its dynamic and tone-shaping capabilities, the Little Bass Thing also makes a great recording preamp when used without a speaker connected.
