Can't say either way.
However, the website was just put up today and they are still working on it.

Hopefully they are also.
I LOVE my ppc112 ministack.

I was hoping on adding another one for a stereo rig in the future. ;)
So, I also hope they haven't discontinued it.

here's a pic of my old tt mini-fullstack:

i had a v30 version and a g12k-100 version. would love to do the full stack thing again, but i think a single 112 will be enough for now. i have too many cabs already [:p]

hey windsen...
how did that stack sound?
did the 1x12's sound "boxy" or small?
cuz i was going to get a 2x12 but looking at those mini full stacks...its hard to decide

That looks just like MINE ;)

Tim, why on EARTH would the ppc112s sound small???
Read the dimensions of the cabinet.
54.5 x 28.5 x 45cm (WxDxH)

They are BIG for 1x12 cabinets.and they sound great.
I added an H30 to my bottom cab to warm things up a bit,
but it still sounded great without it.

The only thing the PPC212 has on it, imho is a better bass response.
You still have bass response, but nothing is going to beat 2 12"spkrs sitting right next to the floor.

to be honest it's been a while (many months) since i owned it and i only kept both for about a month. i mainly got the tt/ppc for bedroom jamming while i couldn't crank my other amps so that's the context in which i played it. the ppc's actually can sound pretty darn big if you turn the amp up. of course being that they are closed back and small, they won't sound as oppen as say a 212.

haha im not saying they WOULD sound small
people say that 1x12 combos sound boxy...and theyre essentially just 1x12 cabs with amps mounted at the top...
wateverrr.

i want a mini stack SO bad. ive always wanted one ever since i saw the zak wylde mini full stack a year or so ago.
but i dont have the money =[[ (for the orange mini stack..not zak wylde. i wouldnt get the zak wylde.)
one day i will posess one...just wait.

Can anyone at Orange answer this question?
Have the PPC112 cabs been discontinued?
Or they were just overlooked when the new website was being put together?
I'm in the market for 2 of these cabs and I'd like to know.

You should try calling/emailing tech support. I'm sure they should be able to give direction on this. I know I ordered two of those recently. My best guestimate is that it will be added later when they work on the site some more.
