09/12/24 - Upsizing 212BB / Reformer 112 - USA

Hello! I saw your video on 212BB:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbpMmpSpfd8

I am very interested in purchasing one, and want to be sure I'm making the best selections to order:

Currently I have Upsizing 212/1215/215 and the Bass-Baritone Hybrid Upsizing in my cart. Is there anything else you recommend?

I want to use it for playing Baritone Guitar using a Tube Amp, and 4 string bass guitar using a Forte D Bass Amp (not at the same time, but separately) I currently own a Reformer 112 and I love it! So was planning on buying a bass cab from you, but seeing the video, I would love one that works for Bass & Baritone!!

So, please let me know what you advise.

(I should mention I was planning on picking up a Big Baby 3, and stacking my Reformer 112 on top until I saw your 212BB video.

At the end of the day would love to have an AVD cab that I can play guitar tube amps through (3rd Power Dragon 25, Marshall SVT20, Mesa Boogie Mark vii) and also have option for Baritone, and then a bass chain - bass effects into an 700-800 watt amp into a Barefaced cab.

I don’t use modelers or have any plans to)

Thanks!

Hi Matt,

Great, this sounds a perfect reason for the 212BB! Here's what to order:

https://barefacedaudio.com/products/custom-guitar-drivers-eminence-for-avd-cabs?variant=48772055859480

https://barefacedaudio.com/products/specialist-avd-guitar-cab-customisations?variant=48772049535256

https://barefacedaudio.com/products/specialist-avd-guitar-cab-customisations?variant=44170805281048 (this allows us to put a switchable low cut filter on the guitar driver but not on the bass driver - and allows you to run dual amps for wet/dry etc if you want).

What guitar driver do you fancy for the 12" at the top? What's in your Reformer?

Best regards,

Alex

Perfect! So glad I asked before ordering.

I have a vintage 30

Do you recommend the same?

Hi Matt,

The V30 is certainly a safe choice. However, we're big fans of the Redback, Cream and Copperback as higher power options.

Versus the V30, the Redback is thicker and less midrangey, the Cream is smoother and the Copperback is more detailed. Have a look through our youtube, we've definitely compared them all at some point. I'd probably go for the Copperback because it's so loud and honest and clear and handles a ton of power and is hilariously light in weight.
