Orange Obc-112 400-watt 1x12 Bass Cabinet - Black Reviews


  1. View attachment 3437607 Well now that I'm done testing out these orange obc112 bass cabs I figured I'd throw up my review.

    My first impressions were quite positive, the box is incredibly light, SUPER easy to transport. Looks amazing . I love that vintage look .
    This cab checked all the boxes that I had in mind when I was looking for a cab
    I wanted a colorful cab , no tweeter ( To me a tweeter just thins out the audio & adds hiss)
    & around 1K$ was my upkeep.
    So I got ii of them to be my mini rig , for when my GK Neo 412 was overkill for the gig.

    Now .... on to to good , the bad , and the ugly....

    The Proficient:
    It's got a not bad tone , for a 12 information technology's actually a fiddling bit closer to a 15 in the sense of the low mids , and thickness . Not as thick or Bass-y as virtually 15s , but definitely a nice thick sound for a 12.
    The Lavoce 12 is very responsive , quick and tight. It seemed to handle my speed pretty well.
    Even with a pick it's non " clanky " or "clicky. "
    The cab got very loud ( tested with a GK 700RB & Ampeg SVT 2pro) .... and by the time I was able to finally get it to fart out information technology was definitely probably too loud for most gigs. And I had to utilize some farthermost EQ settings to become a fart out of information technology.
    Never at any time was information technology "flubby" or muddy. So I liked that.
    I could get as much treble presence as I wanted out of it, I couldn't meet any bass histrion needing more unless you need that super vivid slap sound. .... even and so information technology comes real close to that .
    I preferred playing the stack with my GK rather than the Ampeg . Gk'southward brightness seem to complement the thickness of the 12, and that the thickness of the 12 helped to warm upward the GK.
    Very very like tone if you lot stick a GK 700 on top of an Ampeg 810. Those two go together like peas and carrots.
    I would say its tone is a bit more of a vintage sound than a modern tone but yous can definitely get some Modern ish flavour from it.
    The handle on acme is not screwed in , simply even so is bolted on with the nuts mounted into the box.
    So the handle would probably interruption before it rips out of the cab, then no worries there.

    The Bad:
    This is my third run around with orange products and I always discover Orangish to be a scrap of a catch-22. Ever overpriced for the quality of their products. The tolex is paperish, and there are but speakon connectors for the speaker inputs.
    Which is non a problem ,but if something happens at a gig and my speakon cable messes up I might be in trouble if the only thing laying around is a 1/4" cable.
    Also with my GK 412 I can hear myself anywhere in the room perfectly, those GK speakers are and so well-balanced compared to these oranges. The further away I got from the OBC cabs , the more I was struggling to hear my mids.

    The Ugly:
    I returned them to the store because of one reason ....this cab not properly braced.

    Information technology would make my GK 700rb head vibrate and so loud I could hear the vibration over the notes I was playing , and that trouble increases with book.

    It was fifty-fifty worse with my Ampeg on tiptop, which I thought the Ampeg might suppress that event, since information technology's an eighty-pound amp..... but it didn't.

    Hopefully Orangish addresses this consequence, considering I am a chip bummed I had to return them.

    If you play at lower volumes , these cabs are stellar, audio neat, and look even ameliorate.

    I hope you like my review and it helps any curious readers or potential buyers :)
    Cuz that's what TB is near right !

  5. Hmm… was thinking of getting a pair in blackness. Wondered if they were braced. I estimate not. No 1/4 inputs seems odd also.
  9. Reading around some of the talk bass threads on the cabs… i run across some indirect reviews. A lot of people discussing how to make their amp not vibrate off the orange 1x12 tops.
  13. Here are some related products that TB members are talking about. Clicking on a product will have you to TB's partner, Main, where you tin notice links to TB discussions almost these products.
