Orange 500W/2x12 Combo... talk me off the ledge?

[rodl2005]

Except when the 212 is an iso and only has the output of a 112...

Of course

A lot of slag here for the Orange SP212. But I have to ask where are these 600w@ 8ohm 112 cabs? The ones that can sound like the SP212 but they're made in a bigger enclosure? Who makes them? Are they real? People here keep talking about them.

Just look for any top quality 112 combo or 112 cab with head; that's the point. The iso 212 will not "use" a full 600 watts (it will compress way before that) and a 112 rated at 300 (the "usual rating for a top 112) will compress around 150 watts, so don't be deceived by manufacturers' power ratings.

Orange TB500 will give 500w to an 8ohm cab via the impedance switch on the back. So the very small SP212 (smaller than a conventional 210) being a 600w @ 8ohm cab paired with the TB500 is a very small and powerful rig with great tone.

I tried to tell them too, but all they talk about is the numbers.
