Product Review Been wanting a Orange amp for years!!! Tone is great. The OR 15 sounds awesome paired with the cab. I have played a few medium sized gigs with the rig. I play in a heavy punk/metal band called... Kobra Thighs!!! It has no problem keeping up. I want more Orange in my life. Cheers!!!

Product Review If you think you need the 412 version to be punchy and loud, you don't (I have both) The footprint of this cab coupled with the V30'S give you the stage sound you need for sure. The sound guy and you're back will thank you.

Wonderful addition

Product Review Very happy I went ahead and added this to the setup. The punch and tightness that this PPC212C adds to my current rig (Orange TH30 and a PPC212OB) is literally the icing on the top of the cake (or bottom of the stack). I would often read that this cabinet just sounds tight, and to be quite honest, that's exactly on the nose with it. However, I would add that it really lends some breath to whatever tone you may be working on. The highs are crisp, and the lows resonate quite well and without muddling up any other frequency coming through. Pairing it with aforementioned PPC212OB literally brings the sound to life. I have never heard my playing so crisp, clear or alive until getting the PPC212C. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Maybe not everyone, but if you're looking for something to give your tone and sound that extra punch, then look no further. As always, shoutout to AMS, the real MVP here for helping me achieve even more tonal range.

Product Review Running a Fortin Sigil into this cab, it sounds tight and articulate. Even with 7-8 string guitars down tuned. Picked up the black covered one to match and it looks stealthy. 10/10 recommend.

Product Review Built like a tank. From great highs and mids to thunderous lows this closed back cabinet is a beast. Paired with my new Super Crush 100 it's the perfect combination.

Product Review I gotta say this thing slaps!!!!! Tied it with my randall, my orange and my Marshall and it sounds phenomenal!!!!!! All the low end you need crisp highs and it will take all the fuzz and distortion you throw at it. The build quality is top notch, only complaint I have is it's heavy but it makes up for it with the celestian vintage 30's, highly reccomend

Product Review Extremely well made. What you’d expect from a product built in the U.K. If you don’t like the color orange, they make one in black as well. I like it so much that I’m considering ordering another one.

Product Review I have a 4x12 along with this 2x12. I have owned a few cabs and still the Oranges sound the best. Kind of heavy but the quality makes up for it. All pros, no cons. AMS is also the best to buy from. The flexible payment plan has allowed me to get a lot of new gear. And ships quick. Always packaged great. Never have had a problem with customer service or any problems with AMS in general. Will continue to order from.

Product Review Dent and scratch, saved money and sounds good. Corners are all dented and some dents in the wood but no big tears in the tolex. The front grill is in good with no dents or rips. The speakers look good, Chinese V30s. The box it came in is thin with no protection.

Product Review Was totally blown away at how beefy this cab is made. Got it to replace my 4x12 cab and make it easier to gig, this thing is heavy. Has the same speakers as my Mesa cab as well, so love the warm tone of those Celestions!

Product Review while this thing is heavy and pretty big for a 212 cab, its worth It! Sounds killer and so far what I like from it is the way it handles a little bit of everything from ultra clean to extremely overdriven tones. Definitely recomend.

Sturdy piece of gear!

By: Scott      Submitted: 7/28/2020

Product Review Sturdy build of a cab, meaty thick wood. Makes it heavier than I thought it would be. Also warms the sound some too I believe. Great set of speakers in any cabinet form but teamed with this super thick build it makes for a very nice 2x12 unit. Have used it with a 25 watt Joyo Head and a 120 watt Line 6 Flextone II head so far. Bought it for a lighter option than my Mesa 4x12 to tote to gigs. So far haven’t felt like I had to miss out on good sound to do it.

Product Review This is the cabinet to own! AMS delivered the goods! Thanks again and I am sure not the last time! This cab needs no introduction it is classic and timeless. Also kicks major sound. Exceptional sound for days handles my JCM900 100w and my new PRS Mt15 with ease! Was thinking about 4×12 nope this cabinet is it!

Product Review First of all, this thing WEIGHS A TON!!! Secondly, this thing WEIGH A TON!!! That being said, it sounds big and heavy! It is made by Orange, so we all know the build quality will be as good, if not better, than most brands on the market. I have run my Mesa, my Soldano, and my Fender through it. Clean, dirty, gritty, driven to the moon, this cabs sounds fantastic. In comparison, it has more bottom-end and is physically larger than my EVH 2x12, with less mids than the EVH Celestion speakers in my EVH cab. The two complement each other very well. You can't go wrong with this cab, regardless of the tone that you are chasing. Very versatile.

Product Review I am playing a Rocker 15 through it and I couldn't ask for more. It has plenty of low end and plenty loud. The Vintage 30's sound clear. I was really impressed with build quality of the cabinet itself. Only warning, it's heavy!!!

Orange Cabs Rule!!!

Product Review I got this on the payment plan, & am glad I did. I have an orange 4x12, but needed something a little easier to transport. These 212's sound massive and I use it as a vertical cab too... just turn it on it's side. I think i'm gonna install some rubber feet on the side to make this even easier. If you're on the fence about it, get it. It'll be worth it. Orange cabs rule!!!

Product Review Solid as a rock. Looks awesome, sounds even better. Every brand new cab needs broken in and it sounds sweeter by the day. Not as heavy as my 412 was, I was done breaking my back lugging to gigs. Goes great with my Orange Rockerverb head but it would sound good with anything.

FOR TONE SEEKERS

By: TOX      Submitted: 3/19/2019

Product Review I've had my share of different speaker cabs from 2x10's, 2x12's, 4x10's to 4x12's to even 6x10's. If you're a "tone seeker" like myself, you'll understand how speakers and enclosures affect your guitar tone. To make this short, this cab has blown my mind on how my guitar tone has changed for the better. Although I've had a closed back Orange 2x12 with same Vintage 30s speakers in the past, I did not hear a difference on how tone could improve as I was running it through an Orange AD30 head. I now use a Peavey 5150 and it sounds incredibly beastly! The 5150 and Orange 2x12 configuration really makes both head and cab shine and morphs into that abominable monster when you engage it. There is really no question on how good Orange cabs are and truly improve your tone to your needs. It is worth every penny and will not make you regret the purchase.

Product Review This is a solid built 2x12 16ohm cab. I may upgrade the speakers (they come with vintage 30's), or just swap out one for a CRex and see if they can play nice together. This cab sounds fantastic! I like using the side for a vertical 212...probably install rubber feet on the side to preserve the tolex.

Product Review I’m on my second one, and I l love it. Oddly enough the closed back is made in the US while the open back is made in china. Either way, sounds killer with massive low end. One of the best cabinets for metal/hard rock I have ever played.

Product Review Well made, great tone, a bit heavy.I currently am driving this cab with a Hughes & Kettner TubeMeister 36. I'm only using 18 watts at this point. The clean channel just sings, while the crunch and lead channels have some great tonal separation. If you want a cab that is smaller than a half stack with all the crunch you can give it, this is certainly a strong candidate to fit the bill.

Product Review This cab sounds amazing. It is definitely well paired with a high gain amp. It will only sound better with time as the speakers are worn in. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars over all is because it is wired for 16 ohms. Wiring it in 8 ohms would've been better, or at least having a switch to convert it. Other than that, the sound and build quality is superior, even to it's marshall counterpart.

Product Review I bought this from AMS and it is just fantastic. Build quality is superior to other British cabinets, I think it passes Mesa building standards too. The bottom has slats that touch the stage and it makes the low end just sound great. No casters though. So if that is a need then go get a Mesa or a Marshall.

Seems solid. The 2 boards used as runners underneath are cheesy. Ad casters ! The paper mache orange covering is delicate. If your going to park it in your studio and beat off to it, it may stay clean. Pro musicians will soon notice the relic'd condish after several gigs. Your general opinion of this product. Not bad, not the best out there but decent. Its a little bigger then a mesa cab, kind of bulky, but not as bad as shlepping a 4X12 cab around. British Finish was covered else where. doesnt apply

Highest Quality, Highest Value 212 Cabinet!

1 person found this review helpful.

This cabinet is extremely well made. High quality rugged handles, grill and tolex. And of course 2 Vintage 30's. All Orange products are built to handle life on the road. Your general opinion of this product. This cabinet is amazing. I'm using a Rocker 30 head and a Gibson SG and all I can tell you is that this cabinet does everything you want it to. My other guitarist plays a VOXAC30 with Alnico Blues and it looks shabby and cheap next to this Orange rig. The cab is large, so it has great asthetic value, but it's designed so that you can still carry it easily. The handles are rugged and even though I'm only 5'8' I can carry it easily, bracing it against my chest and lifting with both hands easily fitted. It's balanced so it doesn't feel like 60 lbs. Also, with the Rocker 30 head on top, it speaks quality--eye popping looks and the best sound around. n/a n/a The finish is beautiful. The cabinet looks like a work of art, a masterpiece. n/a
