Orange 2x12 cabinets on there side

Post by Snake Hips » Thu Aug 24, 2023 10:56 am

I love Orange amps, I feel like my Orange OD120 is 90% of my tone. I gone through a lot of different cabinets, but never an orange cab. It has a look. Recently I have been debating about 2x12s and looking on craigslist, offerup, etc trying to find a good used 2x12.... I love the height of 4x12 cabinet. The idea and I feel like many people do this is put the 2x12 (usually horizontal) to vertical. Orange has open back and closed back cabinets and the open back is about 5inches less in the horizontal width. So I am wondering in the very low low chance that some does this if you can share a picture of your set up using either 2x12 but the shorter one is the PPC212OB.

Couple of answers to your questions.
The ppc212 is a great cab, made in uk with v30’s.
modern orange open back cabs on the other hand are of cheaper construction and made in China and have a lesser quality speaker in them.

Your head will technically fit but have overhang on the ppc212 if you make it vertical. The ppc212 vertical version is a little wider to accommodate.

That is a really good call out about the width and the head width.

Correct but Chinese made vs England made.

Screw it, the PPC412 are great cabs, just go for it. The horizontal footprint of a 2x12, the upright height of a vertical 2x12 and everything that made it legendary. 4x12 cabs selling used and local are the biggest bargain in the musical gear universe. I paid $200 each for my JCM800 1960a and my PPC412.
