As the name suggests, the Little Bass Thing 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’re 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 VCA COMPRESSION

The footswitchable compressor control on the Little Bass Thing’s front panel gives players instant access to Orange’s painstakingly developed Class A VCA Compression circuit. With its unique sidechain and a response optimised for bass guitar, this single dial provides excellent dynamic control and a warm, classic feel, at subtle or extreme settings.

HELPFUL LITTLE EXTRAS

In addition to great tone and light weight, 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’s also a −6dB 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.

Are you looking for a small, simple rig to amplify your bass in a big way? We’ve got just the thing — the Little Bass Thing.
