As Orange’s flagship bass amplifier and a staple among gigging and recording bassists around the world, the AD200 bass amplifier head delivers legendary valve-powered Orange tone in spades. This 200-watt bass amp head comes equipped with dual 12AX7s, a 12AT7, and a 4-pack of KT88 power tubes, arming you with a lush, creamy, and dynamic voice. Crank up the gain, and the AD200 sings with hyper-saturated fury. Ideal for the bassist who favors simplicity, the AD200 sports a stripped-back control scheme that consists of a powerful 3-band EQ, Volume/Gain controls, and a Clean switch to tame the gain at higher volumes. Moreover, you also get dedicated inputs to accommodate both passive and active basses. Powerful, versatile, and proudly built in Orange’s time-tested tube tradition in the UK, the Orange AD200 is a valve-fueled powerhouse ready to take on any modern or vintage tonal application.

Built in the classic tube tradition

A true tube amplifier through and through, the AD200 is driven by a pair of 12AX7s in the preamp section, a 12AT7, and a quartet of big-bottle KT88 power tubes. Even at lower volume levels, this configuration results in a rich, full-bodied, and supremely dynamic response — and despite Orange's heavy reputation, you'll also find AD200 sports a mellow and wide-ranging clean voice. Of course, as expected, you can bet the AD200 tears down the house when it comes to ripping gain-laden fury.

Keep it clean

Orange amps are revered among rock and metal bassists for their legendary growl and grit. However, behind the AD200’s rock-ready sheen lies a seriously versatile bass amplifier, capable of excelling in almost any genre and low-end application. Key to the AD200’s flexibility is its “Clean” switch: a feature that dials down the AD200’s gain-heavy bite at higher volume levels. With a quick press of the clean switch and a few tweaks of the straightforward 3-band EQ, the AD200 transforms from fuzzed-out firepower to a warm, present, and clean, pristine tonal excellence.
