NAMM 2020: Orange unveils the Little Bass Thing amplifier head
Orange Amplification, as well as dropping the Bass Butler Preamp ahead of this year’s winter NAMM, has revealed the Little Bass Thing – a straightforward, lightweight solid-state bass amp.
The amp features a 3-band EQ, with the midrange being a sweepable parametric control. The 15dB of boost on the bands offers plenty of wiggle room when it comes to tone shaping. Keeping with its straightforward approach, the only other real tone-shaping option that the amp offers is a Class-A optical compression circuit, which can be controlled by a footswitch or from the front panel. This single-knob compressor has a sidechain and response curve specifically designed for bass guitar.
However, for bassists who want a bit more versatility to their sound, The Little Bass Thing also features a buffered FX Loop for ease of adding in time-based effects and modulation. For those who want to go cabless, there’s a balanced DI output with a ground lift switch – but if you are planning on moving some air on stage, this all gets fed into a respectable 500W of Class-D power amplification.
