Orange PPC 212 Open Back Cabinet

Outfitted with a pair of Celestion Vintage 30 speakers, the PPC212OB’s design accentuates the top end frequencies while softening the bass response. The split rear panel means the delivery is less directional, creating an airy, spacious and sound. The added presence and chime makes the PPC212OB especially suited for cleaner styles, or for players who want a more vintage combo-type tone from their amp head. The PPC212OB features an 18mm birch plywood shell with skid runners secured to the base to help acoustically couple the cabinet to the stage.

I have this paired with the Orange Brent Hinds Terror and the V30’s put out a really great warm tone for the clean channel. The open back gives the sound a less directional sound than a closed back cabinet. Cranking up the gain and distortion the V30’s are more than capable to handle it. At a little over 52 lbs. the weight is right at the limit of being easy to carry around. If you are gigging a lot a travel case and or outfitting with casters might be best. One thing you’ll notice is the sturdy construction, this isn’t a cheap, wannabe, this is the real deal and for list price of $649.00 you can’t go wrong getting this cabinet.
