SHORT SIGNAL PATH | UNCOMPLICATED DESIGN | OUR FLAGSHIP BASS AMP
PURE BASS
The AD200 is Orange’s flagship bass amp, bringing together all the features and versatility that any modern player could wish for, presented via the iconic super-clean, pics-only front panel and all wrapped up in that classic Orange tone.
Designed on the premise that the best tone comes from the shortest signal path from guitar to speaker, the AD200 is beautifully uncomplicated, featuring inputs for both active and passive instruments, a simple but powerful EQ, and a clean switch to hold off on the crunch if desired.
Driven by four KT88 valves pushing 200 Watts, the AD200 produces deep, dynamic low end and warm, rich mids. The gain structure offers players of all styles mellow cleans through to hyper-saturation, and whatever the situation, there’s no shortage of punch. And for those who want to retain clean tones at high volumes, the AD200’s Clean switch will back off from Orange’s classic high-gain fuzz.
a brand new output transformer, with 3 inches of laminations, harnesses double the power at 30Hz, offering better response at low frequencies. ‘It now pushes more air, flaps more trouser leg — simple as that,’ explains Orange Amps Technical Director Ade Emsley. From mellow hues to heavy, percussive growl and even slap bass, the ultimate incarnation of the AD200, has just become even more versatile.
Under the hood, meanwhile, the AD200 is a tech’s dream. With the capacity to run unmatched valves thanks to the presence of individual bias pots and with increased user serviceability coupled with Orange’s as-standard rugged road-ready build quality, this is the best amp you can buy, now futureproofed for life.

Short Signal Path
The most organic tones of any of the world’s best bass amplifiers are in the AD200, thanks to its super-clear signal path. Whatever bass or style of music you play, the character of your instrument is always faithfully retained.
A Modern Classic
From vintage soul to classic rock, high-fidelity funk to grinding metal, decades of great valve bass sounds are instantly available via the endlessly versatile three-band EQ and Clean switch.
Classic Look
The decluttered front panel, featuring Orange’s hyper-intuitive pics-only user experience, is a slice of amp-design heaven and echoes the simplicity of the AD200’s signal path design.
Tech Heaven
Valve bias pots allow any tech with a multimeter to bias the amp and match the tubes in-amp, making on-the-road servicing a dream.
For Guitarists too
Designed primarily for bass players, the AD200 is also loved by guitarists looking for the 200 watts of power and crystal-clean tones. Whether you’re after thunderous lows or pristine cleans, the AD200 delivers unmatched performance for both bass and guitar.
Clean Switch
The AD200 now comes equipped with a Clean Switch, specifically designed to tame the signal of a high-output “hot” bass. This feature reduces gain in the first stage, delivering a smoother, more controlled tone. So whether you’re dialing back for a cleaner sound or managing a hot signal, the Clean Switch gives you the flexibility to shape your tone without sacrificing power.
