Description

Edit description

For guitarists who crave portability without sacrificing the iconic sound that Orange is known for, the Orange 2x12 Custom Cabinet is your perfect match. This lightweight powerhouse is crafted from durable 15mm birch plywood and features two Celestion G12 Neo Creamback 12" speakers. The combination of these high-quality components delivers a rich and balanced tone with punchy lows, crisp highs, and a focused midrange, all while keeping the weight down for easy transport.

The cabinet's vertical orientation is specifically designed to pair seamlessly with Orange's Terror series amp heads, providing a sleek, compact setup without compromising sonic depth. Its open-back design further enhances the soundstage, offering a wide tonal range that suits any playing style—from sparkling cleans to gritty overdrive.

True to Orange's legacy, this cabinet boasts the classic styling that musicians have loved since 1968, complete with a resilient woven paper grille cloth and protective corners. Whether you're touring or rehearsing, the sturdy construction and recessed side handles ensure this cab is as road-ready as it is studio-friendly.

The following excerpt is from an interview with Adrian, which can be found here: https://guitarplayer.wordpress.com/2008/08/19/interview-with-portisheads-guitarist-adrian-utley/

"Another thing that’s quite extreme and unmissable about Portishead’s backline is Adrian’s customised Orange 2×12” cab: “I wanted to have a loud speaker cab – that’s two separate words [laughs] – and so I asked Jim Barr who plays bass with us, to spray-paint a design on the speaker grille. I really like what he came up with and in a weird kind of way it fits in with the pictures you get on old Orange amps – the mountains for the echo and stuff.”
