The Problem with ORANGE Cabs & Why I HATE them... (READ DESCRIPTION)

Музыка

Just to be CLEAR... This video was only intended to show how much BRIGHTER a non orange cab is in comparison running the SAME speakers with the same EQ dialed in. I wasn't aiming to dial in the HB cab to sound good... Just showing that you have to max out the settings to get a decent amount of brightness with this orange combination while only needing to dial in modestly to get the same brightness on the HB. To get a good tone on the HB cab you would dial back the treble significantly to thicken it up. The Orange cab sounds way better on this video but in the room it sounds like it has a blanket over the speakers and sounds dull. The HB cab sounds too thin and bright because I didn't dial it back to sound good... I only wanted to show how much brighter a non Orange cabinet is.
Maybe I will do a new video and hopefully demonstrate what I am talking about better since most of you are not understanding the point I'm trying to make..... I'll need to get myself an amp switcher pedal before I can do that.
This was a horizontal 2x12 that I converted to a vertical 2x12. So yes... they are V30s...

    To be honest, in this recording, I liked the Orange cabinet better. It didn't sound muddy at all; it's got a more smooth top end, yet it sounds more aggressive with excellent note separation. It's just more well-balanced overall. Whereas Harley Benton is too fizzy.

    I suspect part of the reason is that th HB uses 16 ohm v30 while the Orange uses 8 ohms V30. 16 ohm speakers are brighter. I have my rockerverb paired with a 2x12 cabs that has 8 ohm v30 and it’s dark as hell. But the Mesa you’re talking about should have 8ohm speakers too… so I’m confused. Maybe it’s a combination of all the factors, wood, grill cloth and 8 ohm speakers… Anyway, with my setup I have to keep the treble very high and I don’t really like doing that.

    I totally agree. I own an Orange Jim Root 212 cab and a TH30 and OR15 amps, and they get super muddy together. I like that tone with the right guitar and chords, but it's not a versatile cab. I also have a Soldano and Victory 2x12 cabs with Celestion Vintage 30, and they're amazing! Fill the rest of the tones I want, but can't give me the heavy muddy Orange tone. So I have to say it's a matter of taste and music styles

    maybe it's cause i'm more on the producer end of the spectrum (guitar is still my main instrument but i dabble in everything), but imo guitars main real estate should be in the 200hz-5.5k region, which is pretty much all mids. having ACTUAL low end or high end in a guitar tone will not make it sound louder or cut through a mix, it will just eat up headroom that other instruments need. ofcourse this line of thinking goes out the window for people just playing by themselves in their room or w/e, just another perspective

I was so frustrated with the sound of the overdrive channel, so i went and started building a pedal board that I could play through the clean channel, and boom.. same horrible, muddy, boxy tone. The pedal board consists of the Friedman BE-OD, Ibanez Tube Screamer TS-808, and a Boss EQ-7 (trying to chase an Alice in Chains / Jerry Cantrell tone). But anyways, in a couple of days, i'm going to pick up a used Marshall AVT-150H and a Peavy 412 from one of my buddies.

    Orange amps with Mesa cabs is a great combination. I use a Rectifier 412 with my Rockerverb mkIII and it's glorious. I think anything would sound good with that cab. Never tried an Orange cab, but I have wondered if grill cloths in general might be an underrated part of your tone. Seems like they've quite literally thrown a blanket over it lol. On the other hand though, treble can become pretty intolerable at higher volumes. I wonder if the Orange would actually sound more balanced and appropriate at show volume.

I originally put it on top of my Marshall oversized MF400 cab and i fuckin hated it even with the much touted "10 band EQ in the loop" i decided to swap some heads around and found the super crush not to sound nearly as flat to my ears on the orange cab. I havent tried it on my HB 2x12 yet. I also have a dark terror and ive had it on all 3 cabinets and it sounds good on all of them, different, but still good no matter which one its sitting on.

    @@tyroneenglish8396 Indeed they sound better cranked up since they cut a big amount of fizz/presence. Since I barely turn my amps up anymore the darkness of the cabs just makes every amp sound dull and muted. When I was gigging I played a RV100MK1 into a PPC412 and was constantly lost in the mix. My bandmates would say they could never hear me and I had to run the amp super loud to compensate. When I wasn't jamming with them they missed the "thickness" that my amp added to the band mix. I now consider Orange cabs to be "mix thickeners". They sound fantastic layered with other cabs to fill things in. When my current band records we always double track through my old Orange combo to add some beef to the mix. I was beyond shocked when I discovered my PortCity OS212V (v30 loaded) sounded more open and clear compared to the PPC412 I had at the time. I then swapped to a PPC212CB which I preferred over the 412 but it was extremely directional and impossible to move by myself (they are very deep and awkward). I then swapped to a 212V which I was very pleased with for a few years. I then pulled the old PortCity cab out of storage did another comparison and it destroyed the 212V in terms of clarity and definition. I started with the PPC112, great boxy sound for recording but not amazing in the room. I also owned the 212OB for a few days but it was way too loose/boomy for my style. If you want to get an Orange cab the best by far is the PPC212CB. Sounds massive compared to the PPC112, more open than the 212V/OB, and less muddy than the 412. Just a pain to move around alone. I've since sold the OS212V and replaced it with an OS112 (Governer) and a Hesu112 (Demon). The Port City does the boomy/massive bigger cab thing and the Hesu does the tight clear metal/prog thing. Both are extremely portable and I haven't had any cab GAS for a few years now.

    Depends at which settings you're talking about... Read my pinned comment... In short, I was only comparing the difference in brightness with the same settings because the grill is so thick on the orange which drowns the tone until you start almost maxing out the Eq. To get the same thick / full tone on the HB you would dial back the EQ way more to get the same result. Maybe this needs an update video showing a matched tone and how different the EQ's are to get the same result... but as mentioned... I wasn't trying to dial in a good tone on the HB. It does sound too harsh because I only dialed in from noon onwards.... dial back the treble to 9'oclock and it would be comparable to having the treble at 3'oclock on the orange cab.

    Spend less time/money hanging pantera posters… and buy a tube orange head. Also… clearly the orange sound isn’t for you- sell your orange gear (you know you can’t get rid of it fast enough because of your self proclaimed “brightness”) and continue down the road to becoming the worlds top ice picking champ with your love of highs/heights. I mean you’re right- crappier construction, cheaper parts/materials- always results in better tone! Thanks for “confirming that”

    The issue is 100% in the grill cloth. It's so thick and tight that it naturally filters out a lot of higher frequencies. If you replace the grill cloth with Marshall 1960 cloth (or something comparable) Orange cabs sound great.

    It's a combination of having no presence control on this amp AND the thick material reducing the high end. It's not a problem when using THIS amp with a different cab and it's not a problem when using an amp with a wider sweep / presence on this cab to overcome the high end tone suck. I have the same problem when using a H&K tube meister 40 with THIS cab... No presence knob to overcome the tone suck

    Can't make my point much clearer... The thick material on the front of orange cabs sucks all the treble compared to any other cab with the same speakers. It's hard to translate that REAL WORLD reality on a video but it's true and I tried to show it. You literally have to max out the bass and treble with this amp and cab combination for high gain because of that issue where as you can have much lower EQ settings on a non orange cab to get the same tone. Maybe I'll redo the video better one day...

    Mate, that HB tone sounds brittle and harsh. You're equating more treble with better. The Orange sounded better as others have told you in the comments. Another thing you have to remember as well, is that when volumes are very loud, you will hear significantly more treble and you usually need to back off the highs for loud gig volumes. The Orange wins dude, sorry.

    balanced sound? You obviously didn't watch the video... the orange grill sucks all the tone out of the amp which has no presence knob and = MUD. The hb cab is very bright which means you don't have to max out the treble and bass on the amp to dial in a good tone. Sorry, but the Orange cab sucks hairy bollocks in combination with an amp that has no presence and the cheaper hb cab wins all day every day.

    I get tired of hearing that orange cabs are 3 times the price of Harley Benton cabs. That's BS. In the US, an orange ppc112 is 449.00. A Harley Benton 1x12 is 259.00 through Reverb. Still a big price difference but actually not even twice. Quit exaggerating!

    First of all you're comparing 1x12s... Second of all you're a plonker. In my neck of the woods the average price for an Orange 212 closed back is $1499 aud and a HB 212 closed back is $425 aud plus shipping costs on top so I am ACCURATE to say 3 times the price.
