Orange OB1-500 500-Watt Bass Head

Massive, Bi-amped Bass Sounds with a Single Amp!

The Orange OB1-500 is a 500 watt single channel bass amp with the sound of a bi-amped rig. Bass players have been combining guitar and bass amps together to make harmonically rich, layered overdrive tones. This “bi-amp” trend got to Orange and they designed the OB1 500W rack-mountable bass head. Why drag two amps instead of just one? By splitting the signal into two seperate paths, one side amplifies the lean signal, the other adds up to 2 stages of distortion to the upper harmonics only, which you can control via the gain knob. With the blend control, you can adjust between clean and dirty which is also footswitchable. Pick up the OB1 today at Alto Music!
