hey billy, thanks for the welcome!
the amp is a ´73 orange or120, pics and text. the cabinet is an orange/matamp cab from aproximately ´71-´73, loaded with a 18" greenback celestion cast frame speaker.
this combination has a deep, huge sound and sounds best with my danelectro baritone, but any other of my basses just sounds awesome with it.
cheers, markus
hey guys, ive got an 115 orange cab that im running my svt pro-6 thru, im loving the tone, but the 15 not enough anyone here ever run this setup?
pro-6 into a 410 orange? or any ampeg head how did you think it sounded? to my ears the 15 sounds alot more defined than the 115 ampeg i tried in the shop when i got my head?

i like the way they sound the only thing that conserns me is the weight of the 410, the 115 is heavy enough!
I found that Orange gear wasn't as heavy as I expected. I'm a skinny guy, I weigh less than an 8x10, and I can just about lift an orange 4x10 on my own. Not very far mind! My guitarist has the 4x12...and that seems much heavier! The Ad200b head is a good weight! It weighs less than my Trace Elliot 400W SMX 12 Band Eq! Much less than an Ampeg SVT-Cl/VR.
Im awaiting stock on a new OBC 1x15..cannot wait! Will make a full Orange bass stack!
My drummer said straight away 'not only does that look awesome and sound amazing, its fairly 'compact' compared to some tube rigs'.
I know a lot of people are going for lightweight hi-fi amps, and I would like one because I love gear, but its not the same to me.
I was going to ask...how was the Ampeg 1x15? Cant they only handle 200W RMS cf to Orange 400W RMS? Maybe Im wrong. I think Ampeg are definitely a 10s company!
The Orange speaker is thermally rated for 400W - it will reach its mechanical limits well below that.
(pedro reads and re-reads jazzmans post, thinks about asking but realizes hed never understand anyway and moves along.)
I am not a cabinet designer so I can't explain it well...hopefully somebody else will chime in. There should also be a lot if you search.
Anyway, there are two ways to kill speakers - thermal failure of the voice coil and mechanical failure due to too much excursion. When you see "power ratings" for cabinets, it is always the thermal rating, which is a function of the speaker. The mechanical rating, which is much less, is going to be a function of the speaker, cabinet design, and input signal.

i think im gonna look into getting one.
what are the 410's rated at? my pro 6 put out 750w at 8 ohms, i dnt get my pro passed half on the volume, i dnt wanna get it if it can't handle the wattage
it says 600W on the back, 600W RMS, and yeah its an 8 Ohm cab. So with another it'll be fine, not 100% on what it'll be like on its own. I doubt at medium vol's its gonna hurt it. Best to check with a tech or something.
ooooooohhhhhhh. mmmmmmm..
so tasty, i am definately getting one when they are released. so so so excited about that 810.

At least.... :scowl: I'm sure I'll sell off some things that aren't too important to me to get one, though. Like my car, computer, apartment... just whatever. haha
