The gold standard
EDIT: review was for MultiChannel not Multi-Watt (now on separate page)
There is no substitute for tubes. This thing has a signature tone that you either like or not. It’s become the standard for metal tones, but is so versatile that it also allows superlead-like tones with the middle channel in “vintage” and the bass eq and gain turned down. I love it.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
I use this one in lower tunings like drop C, drop B and drop A, with a VHT Fatbottom and an Orange 212 CB.
Orange PPC212OB Guitar Speaker Cabinet
Avg price: $619.88
Great sound in compact form
Great Orange tone in a portable format. Sounds really big. I prefer the closed back cabs for my style (raprock/metal). But I can imagine someone preferring this over a closed back. Built like a tank, only the corners could be more robust. Chinese V30’s sound just as good as any UK V30.
