27/01/26 - Reformer 112 - Germany

Hello dear Barefaced-team,

First of all: I use your Barefaced Reformer with a V30 and I am very happy with the sound. 

I have two questions:

I use 1/4" jack cables and both inputs on my cabinet are worn out. I know how to solder and I'd like to replace the inputs with identical parts. Is «Neutrik NLJ2MDXX-V» the part you use?

Also, can you tell by the age of my cabinet, if a Celestion Alnico would fit? The S/N is G208V. I read on your site that newer Reformer models accept a variety of Celestions.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks for your help in this matter!

Best regards from Germany,

James Chan-A-Sue

Hi James,

Are you sure both inputs are worn out? That's something that almost never happens. Your cab won't fit an alnico speaker, it'll fit any ferrite or neo Celestion though. That is the correct part though. Are you sure the cables aren't faulty?

Best regards,

Alex

Hi Alex, 

Thanks for your swift reply! I'm the second owner of the cabinet. My guess is the guy who played it before me didn't use proper speaker cables. Hot cables probably widened the sockets. The plastic isn't melted but the jacks do wiggle around too much. 

I'm using speaker cables from Orange… So, THANK YOU for the info. Now I can replace the parts. 

Also: Keep up the great work! Apart from the cabinet, I very much enjoy your YouTube channel. 

Best regards,
