Do You Need a Cab For The amp To Play? Ive Never Used and Orange :/

I don't think a cab is required.http://forum.orangeamps.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t;=51460&p;=610632&hilit;=headphone#p610632

Some confusion here in the answers. Garrett A. Hartzog is wrong. This amp only has a tube in the preamp stage. The power stage is solid state, so no cab (in which the speaker would generate the load) required. You say you never used an Orange amp, well, the brand has nothing to do with it. Most Orange amps are complete tube amps and those do need a cab, this one isn't and doesn't. That said, if you don't want to use a cab, you might as well use an amp modeler or computer based emulation. The point of this little thing is that it can actually drive a speaker and move some air.

This amp is solid state so *NO* you do *NOT* need a cab. Headphones will not sound as good, but you can use them without connecting the amp to a speaker. Only tube amps need a load.

yes any speaker cab will work fine they even make a 8 inch cab just for this amp but I like it better with a larger cab.

An amp head such as this one requires a cabinet. You could use headphones as an option, but you still may need to have a cabinet to ensure that there is a proper load on the amplifier.

Hi,Well ... do you "need" a cab .. no. However, I find that everything sounds a whole lot better when played through a cab. Headphones do not capture the room vibration and warmth.Cheers,MW

Because this amp's power stage is solid state, you can probably run it with no speaker load but CHECK THE MANUAL.

Hello, thank you for your interest. I can't see how it would be a problem. As long as the pick up is functioning correctly, the amp should work well.

Yes you will still need an amp. I have 100 watts on mine and it sounds great, very punchy.

Nope. This is an old school tube amp. No USB. These are really great sounding amps that take pedals well, but no effects loop etc. The only digital anything in it is a digital reverb unit that sounds very wet and natural. You could probably stream to a device that in turn was plugged into the amp's guitar input. But why would you do that? The resulting sound would be lo-fi as a good tube guitar amp should be. This ain't no stereo! ;)Edit: you used the word "stream". But you didn't really mean stream. Did you? You meant can I plug an audio cable into the unit. Yes you can do that. I've re-amped tracks thru mine that way but the impedance mismatch makes it a problem. Nope. This is an old school tube amp. No USB.

No, you need an outboard amp to run it. I have a 500 Watt CRUNCH hooked up to it now I think even though I doubt I'd ever run that much since it's in a single cab truck.

I asked one of my buddies who has this little amp just as I do last night when we sang together. Yes he said you can add a foot pedal. He explained how but of course I didn't quite get it all. I just use the mic and guitar pickup. Wonderful little amp!

You can go straight to a guitar amp or mixing board. Sounds great but probably won't work for very long.Mine died after 3 or four months.

no, it has a decent sound without the amp (not great, but certainly not bad) but an amp definitely makes it much more fun to play.

No, in fact, there are no electronic pick- ups in this guitar, and therefore, no way to use an amp. It is strictly acoustic.

Yes, you need a preamp to drive the aux channel on your amp. This one work great.

No amp is needed, but I have mine hooked up to an amp just to give them that little extra kick.

Yep. Comes with a small on/off clean boost pedal (that I never use). Sounds okay with the boost but it shines with OD pedals and completely clean. Great little amp though.

This amp is for practice it has some effects but yeah you can play anything but if you want more distortion you will need a pedal.

Thanks for your question. THis amazing sounding player requires an amplifier.

I think it would sound better than my set up since yours would be in the trunk and not in the cab like mine. Bass is nice and tight. But if your looking for something that hits hard, keep looking.

And yes, if I did not make it clear. You DO NOT hook this up to an AMP......you go through a CABINET. This IS your amp.
