English PPC112 cabs?
Posted: Thu Sep 29, 2011 11:37 am
Hello all.
I have recently forked out and bought a Rockerverb 100 MKII with the slanted 4x12 cabinet and i am in heaven. The reverb is really special, like playing in a giant crystal cave, i know lots of people complain about it but i think you're all insane, and the dirty channel is the best amp distortion i have ever heard (although i imagine it would be greatly improved for my taste with 6550s). I am totally in love and nothing could give me a better tone for what i want to do. I've been using the clean channel with my Fuzz Factory/Woolly Mammoth/Bass Big Muff combo and my distortion section has never sounded fatter, and the dirty channel with the Woolly sounds monsterous for such a nice clear amp. A very satisfied customer! I can't wait to do some recording with this thing!
Anyway, the point of my topic is... I also want to get a less expensive and more easily portable setup for smaller gigs when i don't need massive range and huge reverb. I was thinking of getting the English hard wired Tiny Terror, then i thought it would be better to go for the Dual Terror (i know it's chinese) for more headroom and volume, and range. So i thought just for a portable system i would go for a Dual Terror with a ppc112, but probably get two 1x12s so i could stack them or spread them out depending on the venue. I know it sounds stupid but i would just love a whole mini Orange stack with two stacked 1x12s, and be able to put them either side of a room for a broader area. But then, shock horror! I just read that all PPC112s are now made in china with shitty speakers and lower quality wood than English orange cabs.
My Orange cab sounds amazing, and obviously with a smaller enclosure and less speakers you will have a slightly thinner sound but i would still expect good quality, however i am too scared to purchase chinese made cabs. Plus, due to the weight i hate the idea of it being shipped over from china and wasting all that fuel. Does anybody know if you can still get English made 1x12s in England, and from where?
I won't have the money for about a month but i would really like to get that set-up rather than just get a 2x12, incase i ever do just want one speaker and for the different spacing options, and although it's silly the funny look... Please give me any info any of you have and i would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
kian.
