Great Orange-look-and-feel, but where is that Orange-sound?
KlausPSAR 18.02.2014
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... :)

PPC 108
Fuzz 28.09.2013
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.

I know it is small cab and has 8" speaker only. But for me it is too boxy. I have 10" and 12" cabs too and this one suffers due to its size I think.
it is very micely looking combo with micro terror head, but I see the only one advantage - portability. or if you need to save a space. or if you love orange color :)
I like the possibility to make a stack with another one, have't tried that whether the overal sound will improve.

Nice for the price, and for recording
GiovanniD 09.10.2014
As in the title. This is not the best cab, but a great companion for a Orange Micro terror, and great if you want a more controllable, contained sound for home recording purposes. Also, keep in mind that even if you want another cab for your micro terror, this one is always worth having for when you are moving, travelling, or want to experiment with a more boxy sound. Which in the end is not too boxy anyways, and never in a bad way.

You can find better, but it's perfect if you have a small room
Emilia S. 09.09.2014
You can find better, the look is gorgeous and makes you happy when you look at it, but honestly, the sound is boxy. Which is what you might need in some recording situations to have something new.....well paired with the micro terror (for which it was made I suspect) but again, if you don't have any other amplifiers and this is your first cab, buy a bigger one. Other than that, pretty good for the price.
