Orange Amplifiers AD200B 200W Tube Bass Amp Head

Quote from the official Orange Amps [artist page](https://www.orangeamps.com/portfolio-item/geddy-lee-of-rush/) for Geddy Lee of [RUSH](https://equipboard.com/band/rush) and [Big Dirty Band](https://equipboard.com/band/big-dirty-band), "The Orange AD200B and OBC410 cab give me crunchy, overdriven vintage tone. It’s an important part the RUSH tone.”

Taken from the Download Festival, 2012. Water Ghoul performs here and just behind him, he has an Orange OR100 Amp Head that he uses. [Original source](https://absurdhistory.wordpress.com/tag/the-nameless-ghouls/).

John Deacon used this amplifier during Queen tours in 1972 - 1974.

In this image posted on the band's Instagram page, Brian Cook can be seen plugged into an Orange bass head.

An Important thing to take into consideration is that SUNN O))) is about low frequencies and warm tones and Orange Amps can offer just as much. Orange is known for their extremely warm and heavy tones and SUNN O))) and Stephen have been using these amps since the early 90's and sometimes can be spotted using them at their shows.

Kurt Ballou of [Converge](https://equipboard.com/band/converge), [Supermachiner](https://equipboard.com/band/supermachiner), and [Kid Kilowatt](https://equipboard.com/band/kid-kilowatt), is seen with an Orange AD200B MK 3 in this video at 0:59.

” “I plugged into that Orange amp and it was as though it had been designed for me! It was the sound I had with Trapeze in ’69 and the sound I had in Deep Purple,” says Glenn.”

In [this article](https://www.orangeamps.com/portfolio-item/chino-moreno-sergio-vega-of-deftones/) on the official Orange website, Sergio Vega is quoted; "Because of the way I attack the bass the AD200B is perfect. It’s crisp, clean, and has a really tight low-end."

In this video of "Shelter Song" by Temples during KEXPs concert series, the shots clearly show that Warmsley is using the Orange AD200B Amplifier with a Fender 6x10 cabinet. You can explicity see the print on the amplifier behind him at 00:52 seconds into the song.

At 22:15 you can clearly see that Matt uses two of these heads.

In this photo, the AB200B amp head can be seen on top of the OBC810 Bass cabinet.

"Being a three piece, my style of guitar playing has had to adapt to playing lead lines while also establishing chords, so I need an amp that can provide both clarity & response but also keep the sound thick and driven, again, Orange have been the only amps to really have this balance perfected."

This image taken from Schecter's website shows that Miyoko had at some points switched between the Ampeg SVT and the Orange AD200B heads.

1:55 "For me, it was like, a lot of the sounds that I was trying to get are fuzzy and driven... and this, gives you a really great bass to build your effects on top of, and it always cuts through, its always chunky and its got that really smooth bass to layer your effects on"

"Here I use a 115 cab with AD200B Bass Head. In the states I have a 4×10 cab, and sometimes I use the AD200 or the Terror Bass 500."

According to Premier Guitar, Weiss uses Orange AD200B as his bass amp head.

The AD200 is where I get all the bottom end

“The AD 200 Bass Head has a sound and versatility second to none giving me the punch and attack I need," Alex states, on Orange Amp's [website](https://www.orangeamps.com/portfolio-item/matt-and-woody-of-our-last-night/).

With four 6550 output valves pushing 200 Watts of power, the AD200B has a creamy, dynamic low-end with a focused mid-range. The rounded gain structure reveals a wide spectrum of vintage and modern tones, from mellow hues perfect for flatwound strings, through to heavy percussive grind. Whatever the situation, there is no shortage of punch, which is just one of the reasons why the AD200B has appeared on some of the world’s biggest stages.

“The Orange AD200 gives me all the tone and weight I need to cut thru No Devotion’s wall of sound while still providing a massive bottom end.”

From Puppy's concert at Newcastle's O2 Academy on 11th March 2018

“With the Orange AD200B, I find that no pedals are necessary with this beast; just simply experiment with your ratio of gain-to-master volume to get a wide variety of tonal options. When driven to full gain, this bass amp can deliver all the grit and sustain of the nastiest overdrive pedal, or dial the gain knob back to a more reserved setting for a creamy, vintage bass tone that will truly make your bass sing in any application. Along with its solid construction, the AD200B is a true workhorse—whether you plan to keep it as a secret weapon in your home studio or lug it on the road for years of hard touring, this amp will go above and beyond.”
