Re: Orange Cube 60 owners - need a small favor

Thanks Peter. So the speaker doesn't rely on a sealed cabinet for it's sound characteristics.

I've heard that this thing is a one trick pony but I don't mind. I didn't pay much for it at all and it may have the sound I've been looking for.

remove the back if you wanted to, but it keeps the cord from falling out
rather well.. as previously discussed here, this circut is kind of a one
trick pony, but works well enough for most casual gigs (A friend used to
drive a 4-12 cabinet with his). Don`t expect much from the reverb
though, the spring is only about three inches long.

Just picked up a Cube-20 at LA Santa Monica Guitar show the weekend
before last, the cabinet was kinda trashed but it was only $35.
