What kind of power and tone can I expect from the Little Bass Thing?

The Orange Little Bass Thing delivers 500 watts of Class D solid-state power, providing plenty of headroom for gigs and rehearsals. Its single-channel design focuses on pure, uncolored bass tone, allowing your instrument's natural voice to shine through. It's designed for bassists who want a powerful, reliable, and straightforward amplifier.

How does the Class A Optical Compression work on this amp?

The Little Bass Thing features a built-in Class A Optical Compressor, offering smooth, musical compression that enhances sustain and evens out your playing dynamics. This type of compression is known for its natural feel and transparency, making your bass sound fuller and more consistent without squashing its tone. You can also control it with an optional footswitch.

What kind of tone shaping options does the EQ section offer?

This amp head provides a versatile EQ section with Bass and Treble controls, plus a powerful Parametric Midrange knob. The parametric mids allow you to precisely dial in the exact frequency you want to boost or cut, giving you exceptional control over your bass's presence and character in any mix.

What are the output options for connecting to cabinets or a PA system?

The Little Bass Thing offers two SpeakON outputs, allowing you to connect to bass cabinets with a minimum impedance of 4 ohms. For direct connection to a PA system or recording interface, it includes a balanced XLR DI output, ensuring a clean, professional signal. It also features a buffered FX loop for your pedals.

Is the Little Bass Thing easy to transport for gigs?

Absolutely! Weighing in at a mere 6.5 lbs, the Orange Little Bass Thing is incredibly lightweight and compact, making it ideal for gigging musicians. Its small footprint (3.55" H x 10.9" W x 9.9" D) means it fits easily into a gig bag or on top of any cabinet, ensuring hassle-free transport to rehearsals and shows.
