Orange PPC212 Cabinet

Deze cab behoudt zijn knorrige geluidskleur bij zowel stil als luid gebruik. De open back zorgt voor vele mogelijkheden qua toon.

Orange maakt traditioneel oerdegelijk materiaal. Deze jongens kunnen een paar tuimelingen van de trap aan.
Beresterk, mooi, opvallend en klassevol.
En dan zeg ik nog niets over de sound van de v30 speakers die er in zitten.
Kortom geweldige marchandize !
Hemels ..

Verrassend goed geluid, stevige behuizing, gemakkelijk qua handeling

I bought this cabinet to finally get rid of my oversized and mediocre 4x12 cabinet, wich was always a hassle to bring along.

I decided to take it up a step while downsizing the cabinet. The Orange PPC212 OB is the best cabinet I have ever played on. It really shines in the musical style of my band (influences: Pearl Jam, Snow Patrol, U2, The Cure, Mogwai, etc.).

I play on a Epiphone Les Paul Custom through a Blackstar HT100 Stage amp. It is suitable for all playing styles, except maybe metal (because it has a little less "Oomph" than its closed back bigger brother).

You have to get used to the sound of the V30s, but once they "broke in" my guitar sound "cuts through the mix" without being ice-picky sounding.

The cab is very sturdy and is built like a tank. Top quality, no doubt!
I like the handles on the sides, so much easier to transport!

Besides, who can say no to something as sexy as an Orange cabinet!

This 16ohm cabinet sounds absolutely fantastic and is built like a tank!

Don't be fooled: even though it's a 2x12, it weighs as much as some 4x12 cabs out there. Take that into consideration when deciding to buy or not, it's quite a deciding factor for sure! The build quality is fabulous though!

That being said, not only its weight is heavy. The sound coming from this cab is powerful, clear, well-defined. If you like the overall sound of V30 celestion speakers, you will love this well-resonating cabinet.

Our band plays heavy grunge / stoner metal type music, with heavy emphasis on powerful growling walls of guitar and rhythmically diverse riffs. Influences: Deftones, Nirvana, Wolfmother, Kylesa, Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains, Steak Number Eight, ...
It's great for that type of sound, especially when coupled with an Orange amp. Coupled with my Rockerverb 100W, playing with a 1999 Gibson Explorer, I can get smooth, vintage, creamy, clear and natural sounding overdrive, but also devastatingly powerful walls of dirt on channel 2, which sounds a bit like a mix between a distortion and fuzz. Just the way I like it.

I'm sure the cabinet would pair well with other amps as well. I don't think you can go wrong with this cab, if you need a 16ohm 2x12 and can deal with the weight. 5 stars from me!
