Orange's 4 Stroke 300 300-watt electric bass amplifier head gives you the power to carve out your signature tones with surgical precision in a straightforward design. The 4-band parametric EQ offers +/-18dB in your bass, low mid, high mid, and treble frequencies. A footswitchable onboard Class A compressor lets you dial in a controlled tone that lets your playing nuance shine through. And the 4 Stroke 300 uses an all-analog design for the natural, full sound you demand. The 4 Stroke 300 gives you any sound you need quickly and easily.
Features:
Rather than a common hard limiter, the 4 Stroke’s Class A compressor design maintains the transients of the input signal for a dynamic playing response. The carefully developed sidechain has a fattening effect on the core tone at lower compression settings, whilst increasing the amount of compression adds a springy character to the attack, great for heavy thumb work. With just a simple level control (much like many classic studio units), the compression can also be engaged or defeated remotely with the optional FS-1 footswitch.
Trusting our ears and moving away from Class D technology altogether, the 4 Stroke is 100% analogue throughout. At the point of entry, the 4 Stroke features a new all-discrete Class A input buffer circuit. This contributes to crystal clear note definition and a highly detailed response, accurately reproducing even the most subtle nuances under your fingers. The Class AB output section (available in either 300 or 500 Watts) ensures these amps stay composed and assertive, whatever the venue. This design also means the 4 Stroke can also be used without a speaker load, perfect for direct recording in the studio.
