26/09/24 - Four10 - USA

Hi Alex!

Thank you for getting back to me.

This is my fourth Barefaced purchase and the Four10 is high quality, just like the other cabs.

Because I play in bands with different styles of music, I like being able to bring the equipment that I think will work well with the situation. This definitely has a different sound than the Supertwin (which I fully knew going into this). And that was the reason I bought it.

I can EQ it pretty easily to get what I'm looking for. Adding a boost around 1500-2000Hz gets me in the ballpark, just from playing around a little last night. I had to do it real quietly because my wife was sleeping, and so I really need to get it up to volume and try again. And I understand the horn might not even touch that range. I think I was just curious about making the mod. It just sounded slightly 'muffled' out of the box (which could be my hearing from playing decades of drums) and I was wondering about opening it up a little. That's the best way to convey what I was hearing. Please don't take that the wrong way, I know it's me, not the cab. I think maybe it's not a good match the Genzler Magellan 800? It sounded a little better with the Mark Bass. And I have a Reeves amp but it's in the shop getting fixed, that's a totally different beast, and I really want to try that set-up.

Because I ordered the 4ohm model, I can't really add another 4ohm cabinet. I haven't done the math on how the power would be divided up among the speakers if I added a 12 ohm Two10ST. But I was really just looking to bring the one cabinet to a gig.

I haven't taken it to practice yet. And if I've learned anything, it's that gear sounds much different there than in my loft.

This email might sound silly, I might be asking about something the cab wasn't made to do. I get that the mid-range response is different. So, it's on me. I know I'll find the right EQ and head combo and be rocking away with this thing in no time.

I love your stuff! It sounds good and I'm too old to drag around an Ampeg fridge.

Thanks, 

John

Hi John,

Cool, glad you're pleased with what we're doing! I wouldn't make any judgements based on using it that quietly - human ears are too non-linear in their response when you're quiet vs loud. The tweeter starts working higher than that and the 10CR drivers have plenty of about in the 1-2kHz region so the sound is available there.

Let me know how it sounds in band practice!
