Orange PPC 108

The Orange PPC 108 is as tiny a guitar-box as you will find. If it wasn´t for it´s rich orange color and the nice "old-school" decals, no one would even care to take a look at it.
Problem is, that although it is a thing of beauty and built up to high Orange standards, including a wooden cabinet and solid edge-protectors, it´s sound leaves a bit to be desired - and therefore may not be looked at for it´s acoustic perfomance, I´m afraid...

Plugged into an Orange Micro Terror, which is a great amp, the PPC can go pretty loud, but the sound lacks lows and highs. Mids are plenty, but their definition is flat. Changing the settings on the amp won´t help a lot, as the PPC simply can´t produce the tonal range, that you would expect of the Micro Terror.

Of course, a tiny speaker put into a tiny cabinet will not produce a 4x12 sound. And no one is going to buy it to achieve that. But even if I take it for what it probably should be, a small and affordable speaker for practising at home, I was expecting a little bit more from my favourite amp-builders. If it just wasn´t for it´s sheer beauty... :)

The Orange PPC108 is a small cabinet, mainly designed to use with the Micro Terror amp. PPC 108 sounds pretty warm and especially with clean settings it sounds really good. It also delivers nice crunchy tone with more gain enabled, and for classic rock/hardrock this thing sounds good. But its size has its limitations. The sound becomes blurry when more gain enabled, and it doesn't sound good at all if you try to play metal. But with moderate gain and for classic rock it is a decent cabinet, and it's not very expensive. It also handles low-volume playing well, it sounds good without the need of using earplugs or disturbing your neighbours.
I've tested using two of these, and it sounded a bit better than using just one PPC108. It sounded more sturdy with two PPC108.
Finishing in this cab is good, and it looks pretty. Especially with the Micro Terror amp.
