According to the Orange site, the PPC 212-OB is not wide enough to put a Rockerverb 50 head on top. I contacted Orange and was told the specs were incorrect but did not get the actual dimensions (I need to follow up!).
I was wondering if anyone here had one and if so, would you be kind enough to post a pic? Short of seeing one in person, it would be great to at least see a pic of the cab/head combo before ordering.
Thanks in advance!

Humbucker Music gives the dimensions in inches, and says it's the same width as a Rockerverb head, assuming they're correct. Here's the link,

Cool thanks. I'll shoot them an e-mail just to confirm.

I like how the speakers are diagonally mounted in that OB 2x12.

That's a really nice cabinet. Tasty.

That cab is too small for me. I like BIG open back cabs like Bogner, Marshall BB, Avatar Vintage, Stoneage 2x12C.

I was looking forward to a closed back, open back stack.
But its a shame that the cabs are differant size

why not just take the back off of ppc212? that'd be your bit open back orange cab.

you could definitely mod the back panel of the larger closed-back. or fabricate one yourself.
OR- check to see that the avatar contemporary backs are the same size as the orange 212s. then just buy one from them.

Now that I know that the 212-OB is not smaller width wise than the Rockerverb head (as was listed on the Orange site!) and not 12" high (as was listed on the Humbucker Music site!), I went ahead and placed my order.
Thanks for the help.

How much does the 212-OB weigh? According to the Orange site, it's around 44lbs but according to UPS, it's 60lbs. [:0]
Is there really 16lbs of packaging or am I getting a heavier cab than I thought?
