In More Detail

The AD200 is a no-compromise all-valve bass amp designed for tone purists. Its circuit is built around a short, simple signal path — just gain, 3-band EQ and master volume — ensuring every nuance of your playing comes through unfiltered. Four KT88 power tubes generate a massive 200 Watts of Class A/B output, giving you the kind of natural compression, touch sensitivity, and harmonic richness only valves can provide. Known for its thick lows, growling mids, and smooth roll-off in the highs, the AD200 delivers a tone that’s unmistakably Orange.

Though built for bass, it’s become a cult favourite among adventurous guitarists, especially in heavy and experimental genres. And with a Clean switch for more headroom and tighter bass response, it’s versatile enough for a range of styles. Handmade and built to last, the AD200 remains the ultimate choice for players who want valve tone at its biggest and best.

Clean Switch

While the AD200’s natural voice is big, warm and driven, the Clean switch adds extra headroom and tighter low-end response, great for players who prefer more articulation or use higher-output pickups. It opens up the amp for more modern or precise styles while retaining all the musicality and harmonic richness that valve amps are known for. Whether you're laying down a clean groove or building a stacked fuzz wall, the Clean switch gives you another flavour of this legendary amp.

For Guitarists Too

Though designed for bass, the AD200 has become a cult favourite among guitarists — especially those in doom, sludge, and experimental genres. Its massive low-end, smooth top, and saturated valve character make it ideal for players seeking thick, textured guitar tones with endless headroom. Bands like Sleep and have helped cement its status as a secret weapon for adventurous guitarists who want more than just traditional amp voicings.

Short Signal Path

The AD200’s stripped-back design is one of its greatest strengths. With just a handful of high-quality components and a direct signal path, your tone stays uncoloured and responsive. Every detail of your playing comes through clearly, from the softest fingerstyle to full-on rigid-pick attack. The layout isn’t about limitations, but just about removing obstacles between you and your sound. It’s valve tone, unfiltered and unflinching, in a head built to perform night after night.
