The Orange 1x12 Cab, any good?

[Adam.M]

I'm in dire need for a small cab for my bedroom, with a v30 in it.

And this has it, for a sweet 169 quid too...

Just wondering if anyone has tried it out? Can't get on HC to see reviews or anything at the moment! stupid mobile internet...

I didnt realise they were so cheap :o Want one now :lol:

Yeah, they're pretty good. Solidly made.

 In an ideal world, the cab would be a little larger, which would give it a rather fuller sound, but it is just a 1x12 after all. People buy them for portability. If you want a fuller, richer tone, get a 2x12 or 4x12.

So you're not getting the one with a G12K-100 in it? That's such a loverly speaker :)

I use the Orange 1 x 12 in conjunction with the Orange Tiny Terror for bedroom practice. Mine initially had the G12K-100 in it and I agree with Roo its a great speaker with a very even response. However, I swapped it out for an EVH G12M which gives me more the sound I was looking for. Also, I have the 1 x 12 sat on an Auralex Gramma riser which isolates it from the floor and improves the sonic experience. For live work I use a Cornford Hellcat and 2 x12 cab.

I have one in my living room, also under a TT. I like it, though I have no experience and don't really care about cabs and speakers. It's sturdy, heavy and has a hard foamy bit on it's bottom to couple it to the floor apparently. Orange say that's to help the bass frequencies. I likes it, and it looks good too.

They sound great. But the build quality under the vinyl leaves a lot to be desired. REALLY cheap materials and cr@ppy construction. I suspect their stuff that's made here rather than China is a lot better.
