1 gig down and I LOVE IT! Everything I was hoping for! - 16th December 2024
I’m loving the cab even more! I have a quick sound geek question. What is your opinion on tilting back a cabinet? I’m playing some gigs at a particularly problematic sounding stage and in the past I tilted my cab back and it helped.
Thanks again!

Hi Greg,
Great to hear! If tilting the cab works, then by all means do it - you'll change the polar pattern which has pros and cons but you'll also change the mechanical connection with the stack, which is probably what's helped you if the lows were too boomy. The Super Compact has wider dispersion than most bass cabs which makes it less problematic on stages with bad acoustics, so if it was more of a midrange mud than than bass boom situation you may not need to tilt it at all. But trust your ears (with a degree of scepticism)!
Best regards,
Alex
