Orange PPC112

This cab was purchased to become a companion to my Orange Dark Terror. As I received the cab I was really impressed with the build quality. The cab weighs about 15 kg and is very sturdy and well put together. When I plugged this speaker in I was really disappointed and immediately wanted to go back to my old speaker. The speaker had really harsh highs and was kind of nasally in the mids (well, it has a Vintage 30 in it, it's supposed to be quite middy) and the sound character was constantly changing as I was playing. But don't let this deceive you and write the cab off as a piece of garbage. If you read online about guitar speakers (especially new ones) you'll read about something called speaker "break in". My previous cab was about 10 years old (long broken in) and I really didn't remember what kind of stages a speaker goes through during break in time. I researched various break in techniques and one of them was simple: play clean, pretty loud but not painful for 10-15 minutes, use your mid switch position and it should take care of about 90% break it characteristics. And it worked. A week after I got the cab, the constant tonal changes seized and the speaker settled at its final character. The highs smoothed out, the mids are not nasally anymore and the lows are just great. I use this cab along with the Dark Terror for old school thrash and I'm not disappointed at all. The speaker gives you very focused lows on those palm mutes. Every note is distinct even at fast tempos and the leads just sound mind blowing. I am very happy with the cab now. If you get this cab, before you pass final judgements, play through it, let the cone move and I guarantee you that after the initial break it you won't be be able to go any other speaker.

I use this cabinet mainly for band practice and gigging, and it's never let me down. It's lightweight and sounds great.

The sound is bigger and louder then you might expect for it's size. It's easily loud enough for band practice with a loud drummer. I play in a blues band, and it's got enough punch for the most dynamic of solo's. It's also very practical in a live setting, since guitar amps get miced most times anyway. I personally use it as a monitor, which works perfect for any size stage.

My main amps are the CR120 Head (also by orange), and the peavey classic 20 mh, both sound huge through this cab, both at low and high volumes.
Even though this cab is rated at 60 watts, it's a killer combination with my 120 watt orange head. The vintage 30 is a very loud speaker, so i'll never have to turn the amp up past 1/3 on the master (which is already in gigging territory volume wise), which should not hurt the cab at all.

Also, it looks awesome, but hey, it's a real orange so yeah ;)

I would recommend this cab to anyone looking for a loud, great sounding, compact and leightweight 1x12 cab.

I bought this cab for live use and recording in a post rock/metal band. I'm blown away by the build quality and sound of this cab. I had considered buying a 2X12 or even 4X12 but decided to go with this for added portability reasoning that I could buy a second to expand my rig later. Honestly I have used this live several times and it creates a massive sound when paired with any amp I have tried.

The closed back design gives the extra bass I needed for my style of metal and rock. Other than that there are really no features to speak of. Solid design, it has a decent weight to it and feels like it will hold up to decades on the road.

I will be buying a second for myself to build a bigger rig and I would recommend this cab to anyone looking for a solid rock or metal cab.

I purchased this box to pair it with my ORANGE OR 15 head, as i was looking for a small, compact yet efficient speaker. And boy, is this efficient. First of all, it weighs almost nothing, so it's really easy to carry around the studio, cars, gigs... Second, this speciall stand that orange installs on their speakers seams to make a difference in the studio- this speaker just works great with anything you plug in, not just the Orange products.The sound is rich and balanced in mid, bottom and high range. But if you are planning to use this sole speaker only playing live, it may not be enough- depends on what music you play, as it tends to lack some bottom power with higher playing volumes, and due to it's close back, the sound can be a bit narrow. But that it really just the characteristic of a closed back speaker cabinets. I have also noticed that in the studio, the sound is better when using lower volumes.To anybody who is considering on buying this speaker i can only say: you won't regret it.

After acquiring the AD30, my first task was to find compatible cabinets.
I spent a considerable amount of time exploring various options on eBay, but I couldn't find a satisfactory deal.
During this process, I realized that the combination of price, service quality, delivery speed, and friendliness of the staff I encountered at Thomann was unparalleled.
I was particularly impressed with their level of service, especially when I needed assistance in changing the payment method.

Conclusion:
Thanks to the Thomann team,
my shopping experience turned out to be much more pleasant than I anticipated.
I want to express my gratitude for their help and support.
In the future, I will definitely consider Thomann as my first choice for musical purchases.

I bought this for studio use. I run an Orange micro or tiny terror (depending what I'm doing) through it and it definitely produces that brilliant Orange tone. I generally am using it for more rock/metal sounds, and can't really comment on its use for clean or quieter tones.

I am immensely pleased with the quality of the tone from this cabinet. Warm is really the best word for it. It really does justice to a good head like the tiny terror, and I have gotten great use from it as my main recording cabinet.

The build quality is impeccable. I believe plywood or MDF is what it's made of but I'm not certain. The tolex covering is perfect and there are no rough edges to be found anywhere.

To top it all off, like all Orange products it looks amazing!
