I understand this is an amp and a cab. But how is that better than a combo ampeg RB112 ?
From what I see : heavier, no DI out … But being a newbie I might not have the full picture !
I was seriously considering one of these before I decided to go insane and get my Ampeg. The sound out of these Oranges is delicious. Add in an FX loop, balanced out XLR, 1/4 size headphone jack, built in tuner and it’s a nice package.
Plus the sound. Did I mention the sound? Because the sound.
I would probably opt for the BA112 or the Rumble 100. With a slight boost from a preamp or clean boost either should be fine for both practice and small jams where everyone controls their volume. The 12" speaker will give you a rounder bottom end and a bit more apparent volume. It’ll sound bigger.
I’ve used both amps in exactly the settings I described and they were more than sufficient with two guitars and drums playing basic classic rock and blues. Now if you’re playing much louder heavy metal with a loud drummer and loud guitars no small amp is gonna be enough for that kind of work.
I’ve had a BA 115 HPT and this thing has been the least reliable amp I’ve ever had. I don’t know about the BA 112 but that’s maybe something to consider.
