Dudley Powell Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I currently have an Ampeg 90's SVT 3 with matching 210 and 115 classic cabs. I've been playing through the Orange Ad head, 4x10 and 115 set up alot recently, the head is great, but what really gets me is the 115 cab, the sheer force that thing creates really adds so much depth to the sound, im seriously considering selling the Ampeg 115 classic cab, and getting an Orange OBC 115 to go with the rig. The thing is, although it matches the head for power and all that, is it a good idea to mix an Ampeg head and 210 cab with another orange 115? Anyone have any experience of matching these two makes together in this way? Im sure many people will tell me to stick with the Ampeg set up, but im intrigued. Thanks guys! Quote
0175westwood29 Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 doubt it the rating of the ampeg are the same on as the orange arent they irc? plus ameg and orange sound good together used to use a svt pro-6 6 through a 115 orange. andy Quote
eddiehoffmann Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 You might wanna try two of the OBC 115's together. I used to have this rig and, for me, it's the best cab combination ever. These cabinets are awesome! Quote
Dudley Powell Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 Im seriously thinking about it, I can get the OBC 115 for around £250, not sure how much I would get for an Ampeg Classic 115 cab? I'd have to get the cab in black though, or else my rig would like some kind of messed up chocolate bar. Quote

Dudley Powell Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 Better than an Ampeg Classic 115? There's nowhere near when I can try one to compare, just wondering if anyone has tried both? Quote
Musicman20 Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Never tried the Ampeg, but looking at the spec and design, I think I'd prefer the Orange still. Quote
mike257 Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I wasn't a massive fan of my Ampeg 115 - I used to have the 410/115 stack and found the 115 pretty weak in comparison to the 4x10. No direct experience of the Orange bass cabs but I've played with a few guitarists using the Orange stuff and they're probably my favourite guitar cabs, sound huge and very well built. If I had the dollar I'd have one sitting under my guitar head. Quote
Prime_BASS Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Orange 200B into any ampeg 8x10? You get pears. Quote
