Surprisingly excellent little bass amp! My favorite! If you find one for cheap, buy it!!
Excellent little bass amp! I own much more expensive amps. Lots of them. In fact I have the 50-watt 1x12" Glenn Hughes signature edition of the current Orange Crush combo amp lineup and it is a FANTASTIC amp! I love it! But this is my go-to bass amp.
Since I bought this as just the chassis, (who knows what happened to the lil 1x8" enclosure it was originally housed in), I mounted it in an ABS version of an ammo box I bought at Wal-Mart for $5.94 and wired up a speaker jack so I can run various cabs. Typically I use a 1x15" + a 2x8". That's the optimal sound. It' WAY loud for a 25-watt amp. The tone is excellent! And since it is now a 'head' its super portable and kinda an unexpected surprise. You'll have to check out the pics...
Anyways, since this is from the previous lineup from the 2010's I'm guessing you could probably find one of these in a flea market or pawn shop or here on ebay for a steal. And having owned many, many bass amps over the years: combos, heads, rack-mount, etc all of them more watts than this little amp, I have to say it packs a punch. Definitely a sleeper. And if you know how to use your gear, the fact that it's only 25 watts shouldn't be a problem. You can always slave other larger amps. Even multiple amps and run as many speaker cabinets as you need. Yeah it doesn't have an effects loop. That's a short-coming, but hey it's intended to be a little practice amp, plus the way I use it, I can insert effects between its lineout and whatever other power amps I'm using, so I can easily overcome that shortcoming.. Also, it has no built-in tuner as the current Orange Crush combo amps do. I think you can find a way to tune-up. If not you've got more fundamental problems to address. Anyways, this little amp came as a pretty big surprise! Yeah, I love Orange amps and knew the newer, bigger, endorsed model rocked, but I had no idea this one would be so f-ing cool! Buy one if you come across it. If you're disappointed, then either I got the 'magical' one, or you lack imagination, or you have poor taste.
