Pan Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Hi Guys I have just ordered the Orange Terror 500 , but i'm unsure as which cab to get , its either the OBC112 or the OBC 115 , most of the reviews i have seen on youtube everyone seems to be using the OBC112 , am i missing something here ,will the OBC115 not work well with that amp ? thanks v much in advance John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 It will work fine, just a matter of choice re the sound, seems the ‘tubers prefer the 12, whereas you might hear the 15 and vastly prefer it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pan Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 Thanks Lozz - i have a Gibson thunderbird if that will make any difference in choice ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I’d reckon that will be a chest cavity rumbling sound that many will be very envious of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Definitely get the 15 as I’ve heard people say the single 12 is boxy sounding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I've used Orange for years. Neither are wrong. The OBC112 does seem to be the popular choice these days. Personally I have used a 2x10, 2x12 and now mostly 1x15 with a 4x10 - all Orange. It's a versatile head so most cabs sound great with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you at least stack the 15 on the top so you can hear it's cries of pain over the far more able 4x10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pan Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 Thanks guys for the help - one last thing ( im quite new to this ) the cable to link these up would it have to be the speakon to speakon or just the regular 1/4 jack ?

Lozz196 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Speakon to Speakon (just had a look at pics of them online). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassmanPaul Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) In this day and age, considering the power available from amplifiers, no one should still be using 1/4" phone plugs to connect between amplifier and cabinet. Never ever use an instrument cable for this duty!! Edited March 20, 2022 by BassmanPaul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 OBT mk 11 with two OBC 112's, killer portable rig. Simple, powerful & light. Plenty of tones in it but of course you have controls on your instrument and pedals if you must. Just an opinion, but my permanent gig rig now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellis78 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I use the mk2 with x2 obc112s… sounds great, wasn’t quite so keen with just the one cab. If I was going for a single cab I’d be tempted by the 115. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highfox Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) I'm late to the party but just took collection of a new OTB 500 and will get to try it out today at practice . Going into a 4ohm Genz neo 212. Had the cab about 10 years and it's handled everything I have thrown at it over that time with lot's to spare.

BassAdder60 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I’m liking Orange amps I’m using the Little Bass Thing and it’s a super loud amp head The compression on it makes it sound tube like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mk1 definately had two as I remember upgading them. I want to get an OTB again as I miss it dearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJPJ Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I didn’t realise that - I thought it was just a different form factor but it makes sense thinking about it as there’s no room for the valves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knirirr Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 The Terror 500 with OBC112 was my choice as this combination is lighter than the old Trace Elliot BLX combo it replaced, not particularly bulky, and sounds good with BG. It even works well enough with a pre-amp for DB. Just as well, as I don't have any other amplifier suitable for gigs, and even at rehearsals the drummer always wants lots of bass volume.

Seriously even in the biggest non pa support gigs you will never struggle to be heard. The speakers do not struggle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all about moving air. You,ll get more depth and punch from the 2 over one and you,ll be getting full beanz out of the head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I ran my MK1 Terror (1k!!) into two 15s. They weren't Orange, but Markbass. I sold the lot for not much money and it was a very poor decision. I recommend it but be warned it will be soooo loud. I couldn't turn it down enough for pub gigs, even big ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 My Orange Little Bass Thing 500w head is very loud so I can imagine a 1000w head must be extreme ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
