Barefaced Bass - Ultra lightweight high power bass guitar speaker cabinets

16/05/25 - Reformer 112 (Neo Copperback) - Germany

As far as I concern, your company is now the only one remaing, which deals with 3D-ish sound emission.
Dietmar Kammler, Hamburg based, closed his business as of 31st DEC 2024 after 15 years to retire.
His approach and patents to achive his sound expectations were too resource demanding to be transfered to a factory production. Hence his Kammler cabs - he once told me his annual output were 55 - are second hand goodies now. 

Anyhow: Your Reformer 112 with the Neo 250 Copperback was eye and ear opening to me not to lean on ordinary cab constructions anymore. 

At that time I had a 2×12 by BluGuitar (Thomas Blug, more than 2 decades sound designer at Hughes & Kettner before being entrepreneur with his own company), but the Reformer soundwise 'killed' the 2×12, and even my 4×12 cab (V30) wasn't better sounding. 

After I had sold the 2×12 I missed the format. At a local PRS meeting we did a comparison of Kammler (1×10 and 1×12) and my Barefaced cab. Is their any difference in the 3D-ish sound?

One observer was the opinion, that the Reformer had a noticeable beam. That was not my observation. 

As a result I called Dietmar Kammler if he would build me a cab. And after discussion with him I decided for his Fusion design, combining a 10" and 12" speaker in a 2×12 format. The Neo 250 Copperback was set, the 10" was to be selected. For my ears the best company was the EVM-10M. Sensivity is 100dB to 99dB.

I got my custom made Fusion cab in the first half of 2023. Don't ask about the mass. Lightweight is not the nickname of the cab. Could be 15lbs.

Comparing the Reformer with the Fusion, the reformer has more low end, whilst the Fusion has a balanced clarity. 

My EQ setting is High 8, Mid 2.2, Bass 3.8.

The Reformer is perfect for hasty obligations, it offers a lot of power handling although it's very light. 

Thanks for this invention!
