29/09/26 - Reformer 112 (Neo 250 Copperback) - Greece

The cabinet arrived, I found it very beautiful and well made, I really felt the quality job just by looking at it , the packaging was great and sturdy, in general the quality is awesome and just by looking at it for the first minutes I knew that I would buy again in the future other Barefaced products.

Unfortunately the sound is crappy (it is disgusting if I am being honest) and that's because of the Copperback (not your fault) ,I am not talking about the cleans, but about the distorted sounds, I don't think someone could stand them, unfortunately I did the research after I got the product and found out that this speaker is unsuitable for heavy distorted sounds (although there aren't many reviews on the internet, but there are few youtube clips and all of them show the same character of the speaker which is not good for distortion, and as someone said in the TDPR forum it is a fatiguing sound that comes out of the copperback). In choosing the copeerback, I mainly thought of the wattage thinking that my Quilter being 200 watts and the Copperback 250 would be the right choice, plus I thought a relatively uncoloured speaker would be more honest with the pedals .

Anyway, now I have already ordered the Redback which has great sound for heavy metal stuff, I read your guide about changing the guitar speaker and saw the video. Turns out I already have a pozidriv 2 screwdriver.

QUESTION: So the question is: Will any foam tape do, to put at the new speaker to form a gasket, or should it be something you use ? And if it is the latter, then what kind of brand should it be ?

Thank you, waiting for your answer

Hi Niko,

We've done a lot of demo videos where we demo and discuss the Copperback. It is very different to other guitar speakers but if you do things differently it is very good at very distorted sounds, the key is how you shape your tone going into it. If you just plug in and use it expecting it to sound like other guitar speakers the bottom will sound very thin and the top will sound very harsh - which I'm sure is what you've found. You need to EQ after your drive. Or you can change the speaker!

We now use felt tape for our gaskets which is on the cab not the speaker, so swapping driver is very easy. But I think you'll be shocked at how good the Copperback can sound when you dial it in.

Best regards,

Alex

Just 7kg cab but such an awesome warm sound and immense output for that size.

Such a great cab! It's a real joy to play it!

Hey Isaac, Alex and the Barefaced Team,

Last week the cab arrived, basically in 3 working days after you sent it. That was super fast!

There was zero damage, it arrived in perfect condition, thanks for the bomb proof packaging!

The sound... this thing is on a completely other level compared to any other non-Barefaced cab I ever owned or played. It has the same tonality as my Two10S but it moves much more air of course. Sounds bigger and has much more headroom.

Easily an 810 killer, massive low end, tasteful coloration, very articulate midrange and perfect high end even with the tweeter off. It has everything I need and nothing I don't.

And the most important thing, it doesn't have that typical "boxy" sound (that almost all big cabs have) which makes the bass muddy in a mix. Perfect cab design and engineering.

It weighs 34.8kg on my scale so I can easily move it by myself. Sounds bigger and better than my 810s and yet it is half their weight, perfect combination.

I want to thank the whole team for the super fast production and shipping, it was exactly one month from the day I ordered to the day DPD delivered it.

I don't plan buying any other cab in the near future, but if I will, it will surely be an other Barefaced.

Thank you all!

All the best,

Imre

These pair of FRFR guitar cabs are the best I have ever heard! I have owned a few different FRFR solutions over the years, monitors, wedges, power cabs etc.

But in my opinion these pair of Barefaced cabs are on another level... There is a depth and clarity to the tone, they sound bigger than their size would imply and sound great from multiple angles - definitely some audio witchcraft going on!

For anyone thinking of upgrading their FRFR solution, these should feature on the shortlist.

I just got back from Tokyo and had a chance to try out the cab from you

I'm very impressed!

The projection is really superb and my initial impression is that it has the sonic vibe of my Mesa EVs, BUT crucially the cab is much lighter!

I'll have the chance to put this cab through its paces now I'm back in the UK, but I think you really have something here. Its a huge sound from a small cab which is really light and that's very unusual...

Regards

I don't use cabs and amps anymore but when I do, it's always the Barefaced

Round one to the 15:24!

Rehearsal today and could hear myself better than usual and took all of 2 minutes to dial in a good sound. (My ears are not what they were so this is critical stuff for me).

Will try again at our gig on 9th Oct (lousy venue, sound wise, so if it works there it’ll work anywhere. Realistically we rarely get to play with great PAs!).

Thanks for getting the cab to me at the requested time and for the opportunity to test drive it and hence take the anxiety out of those “blimey - I’ve spent £1300 on a cab, but have I done the right thing?” feelings.

Hi Alex,

I hope this finds you well!

Thanks so much for the Activier One10T you sent me earlier this year - I absolutely love it - my favourite double bass cab ever!

I’ve been using it quite a bit over the summer in conjunction with a grace designs Felix and it’s easily the best and most natural sound I’ve had on the double bass. I do quite a bit of rhythm section work with the London orchestras (I used the one10 in the last night of the proms!) so it is mainly used as acoustic reinforcement and to help project - I actually much prefer it to the super midget (that I have used and loved for ten or so years) in this setting.

So much so that I sold the used and battered Super Midget to a colleague and I now regret doing so!

When I combine the One10T with my [passive One10 to get some more volume and weight (particularly on electric) I find that it becomes a bit too boomy (in a hard to eq out way) on upright when I’m doubling.

The super midget was great for the sort of doubling I do - loud enough and obviously tiny, but I’ve always been curious as to how the low end differs with your larger cabs.

I found the low end of the midget quite punchy but maybe not as round as others, although who knows if any of this is noticed in a mix - perhaps it might even cut through better - boomy stages are the enemy of bassists, but so common.

I like the idea of the big baby 3 but perhaps a super compact t would actually suit me better? Do many double bassists use these, or would just suggest just getting another super mini?

In short I love a single One10T for double bass and I really liked using two for electric (fender nothing too modern or FX-y) but would love your suggestion for something for doubling at louder volumes than the One10 (although it is amazingly loud for such a light load!)

Sorry if this is rambling, and thanks in advance, as ever, for your advice!

All best,

Laurence

Hi,

I already own & love your One10 cab (perfect for pub/cafe gigs with my acoustic Americana/folk rock band). Now I'm thinking about getting a SuperMini for my Cumbia/Latin rock band - I live in a 4th floor apartment without elevator, and usually take the subway to gigs, so size & weight are very important factors; I want something that goes a bit "deeper" and louder than the One10 (with that band we tend to play larger events). I was thinking about a second One10, but two cabs are harder to carry than one that isn't much heavier, but just as loud. However, I absolutely don't need a tweeter (I play flatwounds, usually with a sponge under the strings, often with a Höfner bass - there's simply nothing going on in the upper frequencies...)

The listing for the Super Mini T doesn't have an option for ordering it without a tweeter, even though it does mention it in the description. So, is a Super Mini without a tweeter available, what's the price difference, and does it take longer to build than the Super Mini T (which you might have in stock)?

Thanks,

Roman

Hi Roman,

Glad you're loving the One10!

Historically the Super Mini T (fka Super Midget) was the only version we made, we then added the option of no tweeter for a while but we've sold so few of those that we've discontinued it and gone back to Super Mini T only (something we've learnt over the last year is that having so many variations on our models through options and customisations has a far bigger negative effect on production efficiency than you'd imagine). Obviously you can turn the HF control to zero to get the same sound - and it gives you the option of using it for vocals, acoustic instruments, small PA use etc when the T is on.

Of course, now we've done that we've started getting "no tweeter" Super Mini enquiries! I think making a mini batch of these would be efficient enough but we could only knock £50 off the price as it would be a custom order.

Best regards,

Alex

Hi Alex & the Barefaced Team,

I’ve had my Reformer 112 for 4 years now and it’s been great. I’m planning on trying a new amp with it (Victory Deputy) and was thinking about swapping the V30 out for a G12M Greenback. I was just reading your instructions on that and got to the bit about how the speaker needs a gasket to work with the AVD. Do you know if off-the shelf G12M’s come with a gasket?

All the best

Dave

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Dave,

Glad it's been working well for you! We've got a 15 ohm EVH here which is like the older Greenbacks that Eddie used, happy to sell you one inc. some felt tape for the gasket. They don't come with rear gaskets as standard.

Best regards,

Alex
