19/04/24 - Super Compact + Two10S - USA

I am very happy with the cabs I ordered- a Super Compact and a Two10S (just arrived today!).

In particular I love the sound of my stingray through a Genzler Magellan 800 through the Super Compact. Clean, it's awesome, and when I throw on a lot of thick distortion it just really shines. I thought that maybe I'd like the distortion more on the Two10S, but it just comes through so clean on the Super Compact. The bass response between the two amps is pretty much spot on with respect to the video you did comparing the two lines.

My question is this- if I were considering a Super Twin, how important is it to have the tweeter do you think? I know there's some comparison in one of the videos but on my computer I just couldn't really tell. This would be for rock or heavy psychedelic rock songs. The only reason I'm considering it is for gigs where I'm not mic'd or going through the PA, but the room is decently large. For practice, the smaller ones are perfect. I might be able to mix the two but I'd like to just travel with one cab.

I appreciate any thoughts you may have. I realise this might be a silly question.

Hi John,

Tweeter or not is very much personal preference. If the SC has enough highs without a tweeter then so too will an ST. Glad you're loving the cabs!

Hi guys.

First, I want to tell you I have a Super Compact, and I love it with all my heart. I'm using it with an Aguilar AG-700 head, and my normal pedalboard is an HX Stomp with a Sansamp DI and Empress compressor for my normal bit of color when I'm not using the multi. My question is, aside from just wanting more volume, is there a good reason for me to get another SC or SC-T? Or will it not make much difference anyway just running the AG-700? I'm not a pro, and I don't gig much, but it is possible.

Thanks,
Robert

Hi Robert,

I need to make a video/article about this! In short adding a second matching cab makes the sound louder, fatter and bigger and increases the max output of the rig by about 6dB. Technically a 10dB increase is twice as loud but because of the human ears' non-linear response to low end I'd say that it feels almost that much louder. And the height changes what you hear too.

Glad you're loving it!

Best regards,

Alex

The Super Compact stack performed admirably this weekend.

But there's just something about your 10's that does it for me, I like that colouration.

On Sunday evening, with the band following us at the festival, was a very old friend of mine, Shug. He's just a great bass player, one of the best around, who I first saw play in around 1988. At that time he was using an old SVT and an 8x10, and I immediately realised how a bass really should sound. On Sunday, he brought a BF Six10. It sounded wonderful (however he is also a great player). That night started me thinking. The Six10 is a little bit too heavy for me, the Two10 (I've had one), is eclipsed by the SC stack, so I've been looking at your Three10, and tonight I've ordered one from your website.

Keep up the good work.

Rob

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the feedback, that's great to hear! And thanks for the order - the Three10 does hit a nice sweetspot!

I put the word out and I picked up another Super Compact today from a friend of a friend.

Now running a pair of Super Compacts. I also have a pair of One10's.

I love your cabinets, keep on doing what you do. Oh, and I love the videos you put up too.

Sure, this picture's blurry but the bass wasn't - it was big time punch and focused motherfuckin tight... second gig w/the super twin and super compact DOIN IT!

Many thanks Barefaced Team,

That Super Compact is incredible! I am sure it will only get better as the drive unit wears in!! Sounds great, lots of bass, clarity and more punch than Tyson Fury!!

Very impressed, it may even put my Super Twin away for certain pub gigs with its volume and range! As well as being so light!! Could do wonders for my fuel economy and in turn the environment 👍🤓

Thank you, and keep doing what you are doing! UK design and manufacturing rules!!

Kind Regards,

Chris H, 30Hz Low!!

Loving my two Super Compacts, impressive volume and low end. I rarely need both, and they handle my B string with ease. But, I do feel I've lost a little upper mid, upper end definition compared to my Epifani 310. What are your thoughts regarding a 110 or 110T combined with the Super Compact? They would be powered by an Aguilar AG700. Any other suggestions?

Mike

Alex says:

Hi Mike,

This may be a tweeter thing, as the 12XN driver is very accurate through the mids and the lower treble. Or maybe the 10"s in the Epifani add a lot in that region. I don't generally recommend mixing the 10CR and 12XN drivers. Can you EQ this range up?

Your gear is phenomenal. I've been using it for over 10 years now, I will never play through anything else. My sound is mine, finally after 37 years of playing bass and still going.

Just a note to say that my SC arrived last week safe and sound. I tried it in a rehearsal yesterday and it's everything I hoped it would be. Punchy yet transparent. It's given my amp's EQ section a purpose! I have lots more control now. Love it.

I just received my Super Compact today (surprisingly quick actually).

It’s absolutely gorgeous, and it sounds incredibly well… at home for the moment. I can’t wait to try it with my band.

Big big thanks to all the team.

I received the Super Compact T on Wednesday and all I can say is this thing kicks A**! WOW!

Very much appreciate the expedited delivery to make my gig on New Year Eve!

I will probably be ordering another one of these early next year.

I’ve been a happy user of an original Compact from about 2010, and I was wondering how that cab compares to the current Super Compact.

Love your gear and have a happy new year!

Dominic

Alex responds: The old Compact is physically bigger, more mids, less highs, narrower dispersion, less clean sounding, less quick. Glad you're still loving it!
