QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Aug 24 2012, 03:30 AM)  Ahoy Todd! Thanks for the insight man! I have a little review I will post about a wonderful guitar I just tried yesterday Cool! Can't wait to see! Always love hearing about new gear One thing with the ORANGE AMP from what I've read since getting this head, they behave best with an ORANGE CAB. I've got a RANDALL cab it's hooked to now which evidently is not a great pairing. When I tried this head in the Demo Room at orange on an Orange 4x12 closed back cab, it nearly melted my face. I was honestly blown away. The articulation of each notes was just amazing. On my Randall, it just sounds a bit too bassy even with the bass turned all the way down. The cab starts to frap a bit. With the line 6 Vetta, or even with my old gnx3 and a clean power amp, the Randall cab sounds amazing. I really didn't think cabs could be this different given that they are somewhat similar in design/speakers/wattage, etc. I have seen some Metal guys using an Orange cab with a Mesa Head which always seemed odd as MESA makes killer cabs. Come to find out, the orange cab is really well suited to detuned work [ THE SECRET BEHIND ORANGE CABS (THEY CHEAT! But in GOOD way) Most cabinets are 14 inches deep. ORANGE cabs are 15 inches deep which allows more sound pressure to build internally which is then ported out the front center and evidently couples with frequencies from the speakers making the cab seem much louder at any given wattage. They use really hard woods then port all that out the front . My Randal cab is smaller than a standard cab and not as wide as the line 6 vetta that sits on top. I can honestly say it sounds vastly different and not in a good way to the orange cab. In addition to the depth/woods/porting design, the 'Picture Frame" design of front of the cab acts almost like a wave guide focusing sound forward compared to flat edge designs. Again, not trying to say these are "superior" to anything. Just pointing out how different it sounded and sharing what I found upon researching it. here is a link to an article about the history of orange and their amps/cabs that really spells it out. http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Arti..._Orange_Excerpt So in short, I'd suggest pairing an orange head with an orange cab if you plan on getting an orange head They really are designed as a system. But also, they match well with Mesa Heads. But then again, so do Mesa Cabs  This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Aug 25 2012, 01:51 AM |
