Orange PPC212-OB 120-Watt 2x12 Inches Open-Back Cabinet

Great looking and sounding cab. I read a review recently that said before you start "tone chasing" and replacing amp heads etc., to firstly get a really good cabinet with good speakers. I figured I would give it a shot, because it was cheaper than replacing an entire amplifier. I did a ton of research and ultimately decided on this cab from reviews and sound clips online. Honestly, the cab just looks awesome. The fact that it sounds even better than it looks is amazing. I don't have experience with the closed back version of this cab, but I read and heard that it might be a little more focused and tight. However, this cab is a little smaller and much lighter, which is what I was looking for. It sounds amazing, I was using a 4x12 closed back cab before this, but it was a little too big for my space and unnecessary. The funny thing is that this cab handles my 120 watt amp head even better than my 4x12 cab. I have so much more tone, that I had to go through and readjust all of my settings on the amp. The speakers aren't even broken in yet and already this cab rocks and adds so more depth to my sound. I have never played through Vintage 30's before, but I am sold. Although this thing sings on the gain channel, the cleans really blew me away. My amp head already had a lot of head room on the clean channel, but now it took it to another level. All in all, I am very happy I chose this cab and can't wait until it gets broken in.

There’s not much to say except this thing sounds fantastic. I’m using it with a Fractal AX8 and a Quilter Tone Block 201 and while I wouldn’t complain about the cabinet being lighter weight (I’m in my mid-50’s and tired of lugging around heavy tube amps), there’s nothing I can think of that I’d change.I was using a Quilter Frontliner (I wrote a review for it where I explained why I’m now using this - the Frontliner is great) but for the heavier rock-type stuff I’m playing now, this is perfect. I don’t have a car big enough to fit a 4x12” cabinet but it doesn’t matter: this thing is more than enough for playing in bars. Frankly, I’ve had 4x12” cabinets in the past and I’ve never played anywhere where this Orange wouldn’t have been enough compared to a 4x12” cab. I’ve gotten constant compliments from other band members on my sound now (there were some complaints with the Frontliner so maybe the comments are more relief at the change rather than compliments :-)), and this thing feels rock solid. I’ve only used it at a couple of practices but I can’t see what could go wrong with it - it’s a sturdy cabinet with 2x12” Celestion Vintage 30’s.

distord the sound with 50 watts head …. but with 20 watts head sounds great.

It sounds awesome

Amazing cabinet, sounds fantastic. I used the 120W head and the little 20W micro dark.

This cabinet sounds fantastic. I little heavier than I thought it would be but man it's built like a tank and sounds absolutely amazing. I never realized how important the the cabinet really was until I got this sucker.

After 5 days of ups giving the reach around I finally got it, gearnuts was phenomenal during the whole process. The box was decimated due to ups but the cabinet works perfectly. Morale of the story: gearnuts is great, can is wonderful, don't trust ups

What I have to say? It is a Vintage 30 baby. The tone and sound are amazing. Tested with PRS MT 15 and Orange TH30 and no regrets.
