G112 : Great practice cab

4 years ago

I got this to use as a cabinet for home practice with my Orange Rocker 15 Terror head, basically as an alternative to getting the combo version. I mostly intended to use it as an option for occasional 'loud' practice when sick of attaching a loadbox to the head and running it into a DAW, so I didn't want to spend too much money.

As it happens, I've ended up using it far more than I expected. It's nice and light for moving around, the speaker jack input is positioned well for a head sitting on top, and the sound is perfect for practice (though it has improved with use; it sounded a little bit 'stiff' at the start, but the speaker is now broken in). It's a tidy, unobtrusive little unit that doesn't take up too much space in my apartment, and does its job well when required.

Is it going to replace a 4x12" earthshaking monster cab? Probably not, but that's hardly what it's for. As a practice option or a backup, it gives you the sound of a full 12" speaker cone (compared to the 8" or 10" options found in most small combos) for a lot less than the typical price difference between a head or combo version of the same amp, and the outlay won't cause you any sleepness nights if/when you decide to replace or upgrade it.
