The OB1-300 sports a 3-band Baxandall EQ so you can dial in the perfect low-end tone. Gain and blend controls let you add overdrive to your sound and mix it with your original signal.

Bass players have been using bass amps and guitar amps together to create huge sounds for years. The bass amp keeps the lows fat and clean while the guitar amp adds grit and extra harmonic content to the top of the signal. The bi-amp rig is cool, but can be a pain to haul and set up at the gig. The Orange OB1-300 gives you all the sound and flexibility of this rig in a single unit. The all-analog signal path of the OB1-300 starts by sending your bass signal down two separate paths. One goes to a powerful 3-band Baxandall EQ for detailed tone sculpting and the other goes to a blendable gain circuit.
Create the perfect mix of clean and dirtyThe Orange OB1-300's gain circuit adds up to two distortion stages to only the upper harmonics of your sound. A built-in blend control lets you combine the gain and clean signals together to create a huge sound. No matter how much of the gain signal you add in, the low end will remain fat, bold, and undistorted. The Orange OB1-300 bass amplifier head is a bass player's dream come true.
Ready for stage and studioThis rackmountable bass amplifier head is ready for both stage and studio. The OB1-300 boasts a line out and a balanced DI out - a favorite among Sweetwater's bass players - for hooking up to mixers, recorders, and more. A front panel active/passive switch lets you use your favorite bass without any issue. The flexibility of the Orange OB1-300 ensures that you can use it at any gig, rehearsal, or studio date.
