The Cab is great!

BUT, I’ve only played one gig since the pandemic started
and it looks like we are getting a big winter wave of cases here now
So no gigs until next year

I have been doing a monthly video show
the Halloween show is fairly amusing:

16/11/22 - Reformer 112 (Gold) - Germany

First of all, i am very happy with my reformer 112 cab.
Now looking for the new Usurper210 standard version.

I‘m reading from the description that the cab comes with both rubber feet on base (horizontal use) as well as sides (assume for vertical use).
Is that correct, can this cab being used both equally horizontally as well as vertically?

Furthermore, is the speaker wiring made in parallel, or can I at least opt for parallel wiring, just to get total 8 ohm resistance from 2 pcs G10 16 ohm, speakers?

Many thanks for your quick reply.
Hanno

Alex responds: Glad the Reformer 112 is performing well! As standard the Usurper 210 only has feet on the base (long side). You could add extra feet to use it vertically but then it won't fit in our official Barefaced cover. It works best horizontally but will still work better than a normal cab vertically. You can now select your impedance/wiring on the product page when ordering a guitar cab from us.

I've had 2 gigs with the Reformer 112 and absolutely love it. Since I am in 2 different bands and the other band plays many outdoor festivals, I am looking to purchase the uprising 212V but have 3 questions.
1) What Ohm ratings should those speakers be and would they be wired in parallel or series? (my current amp is a custom tube amp around 22Watts and it has an 8 Ohm output as well as a 4 Ohm output, however, I don't want to limit the possible use of other amps)
2) Could I also add my current Reformer (with an 8 Ohm speaker) to this set up and drive both cabinets?
3) Have you ever made a 4x12 monster? Or, would question #1 answer change if I wanted to drive 2 Uprising 212V cabinets?

I guess overall, I would like a 212V but didn't want to limit myself possibly expanding cabinets.
I wish I understood the Ohm speaker ratings better when expanding.
Thank you so much for your help! All who heard this cabinet these last 2 gigs were very impressed!
Cheers
Brian

Alex responds: 1. This depends on 2!
2. So as you've got an 8 ohm Reformer, I'd get a 4 ohm Uprising 212V. You can then use the Uprising on the 4 ohm tap, and if you want to use both cabs you can daisy-chain them off the 4 ohm tap for a 2.7 ohm total load (which your amp will be totally fine with).
3. We haven't made a 412 guitar cab because there's hardly any situations nowadays when it's a good idea - and because of that you're generally better off with a pair of 2x12" cabs so you can leave one behind when you don't need crazy loud output on stage.

Great cab by the way, it roars in a live setting. I have had complements at gigs from sound engineers about how big the tone is. A better endorsement of tone than a youtube video!

Kind regards,

I just received my Radical 212 about a week ago. Loving it so far.

Thanks,

I just received my Radical 212 about a week ago. Loving it so far. I’ve seen that recently Celestion updated their Vintage 30 design to have transparent dust covers and have seen videos online showing an audible difference in sound to the previous models. (For the better I think.) Does my Radical 212 have this newer version of the Vintage 30? 

Thanks,

Bradley

Alex says:

Hi Brad,

I asked Celestion about this because I've never noticed a change in the dust cap in the time we've been fitting V30s to cabs. Here's what they said:

"Please rest assured that nothing has changed recently on the Vintage 30.

This video that is going viral demonstrates that the product now is much better than what was being produced in 2006. (16 years ago)

That is a fact, but it’s not down to the dust cap. We always reserve the right to make improvements to products that are already in production.

In this case, here’s proof that a bunch of small tweaks and better build consistency over a period of time have made a great product even better."

Glad you're loving your new cab - spread the word!

I tried the thing last night with a VHT CL 100.

WHEW! Just killer!!!

To solve the “problem” I’m thinking about ordering two 8 ohm 1x12 cabs. Once my wallet recovers a bit.

That would allow 8 and 4 ohm operation…yes?

Thanks for your help and a great cabinet.

Crisis averted…

The Reformer arrived this week - it sounds and looks incredible and I will definitely keep preaching the Barefaced gospel!

Thank you,

Peter

P.S. That kind of reads like a good product testimonial, doesn't it?

Got the 1x12 Monday. It sounds huge!

It’s the sound I’m after

I’ll A/B it against the 2x12 with V30s and might end up putting G12 K 100s in that. My issue. Learning curve over the tone I’m after.

Simply loving the 1x12 and the cover is so worth the money. I thought a cover is just a cover but yours are ace. Far better than the after market I bought for the 2x12 and more than worth the differential.

Thanks so much for helping us out with the cab’s for our last tour. They were really wonderful.

I've had it for a few weeks, done three gigs with it...so, so, so good. Compliments from the band and occasionally a "fan". Fills up the space in the room so well. Better than my 212 Avatar, actually, which has a death ray of great tone and some places where you stand and it isn't as great. 

Thanks for putting up with all my questions / emails. I'm really happy and will be (and have been)  recommending your company. 

Cheers and thanks for designing great things,

Tested today with real volume on it.

Simply amazing! Immense and balanced.

Thank you so much!
