Bass Terror Issue

[pikeybeatz]

the fuse in my bass terror blew quite violently a couple of weeks ago, and i only got a chance to replace the fuse the day of a gig, so i plugged the amp in on stage and it shorted out the whole soundsystem and part of the lighting rig, aswell as blowing another fuse, can anybody suggest what the issue may be?
thanks alot

Fuses blow for a reason. They're there to protect the amp electronics from something going wrong, usually tube related. I'd bring it back for warranty work.

Hi Guys!

I’d like to know what kind of chance I would have to do to chance the voltage of my Terror Bass 500.

It’s now 230v~240v and I’d like to chance it to 100v~120v.

Does anyone know what kind of chance will be necessary?

Thanks!

Fuses normally do blow for a reason. In the BT it is unlikely to be valve realted as it has a solid state power section and preamp valves blowing don't normally have such a drastic effect ie things normally just stop working.

Sounds like something major in the way of a short circuit has occured. It must have been drawing a heck of a current to take down most of the rest of the stage equipment!!!

The amp definitely needs to be seen by an experienced tech. If still under warranty (it must be - they haven't been out that long) I'd suggest returning it to your dealer and / or contacting Orange. (Hint: phoning Orange tends to work better than e-mail!)

Good luck with that, and do please let us know what they find.

Assuming the Terror Bass is set up like all the other new Oranges, the wiring inside the amp can be chanced to convert between voltages:
