12/11/25 - Big Baby 2 - USA

I picked up a BB2 in ’17, and another in ’20. Nothing urgent but I have a couple of questions when you have a chance.
Very pleased with my rig and sound which includes a Kemper, and a Matrix GT2000Fx, main bass is a Roscoe SKB3006 and have a LG3006 Custom on the way.
I figured I better start looking at backups in case something or other failed on me.

Question 1: The BB3 looks great, as does the Super 24. I’m running the Kemper/Matrix stereo. I usually play at fairly low volumes, but I’ve become very attached to the fullness of the huge headroom (for reference, I typically have band members asking me to turn up).
My thoughts are I would add a new cab and reserve the old BB2 as a backup. Would you recommend the BB3 or Super 24, or maybe a toss up?

Question 2: Related to 1 to a degree. Also, very happy with the Matrix, 1000 watts per side at 4 ohms, and super light aluminum, so thought of grabbing a 2nd eventually (or asap if it were to fail), but it has been discontinued. Even grabbing 2 GT1000’s looks dicey. Do you have any recommendations for a replacement? I should add, I’m 61 so lightweight is almost as important as the sound. Have not found anything yet that is as powerful and light as the GT2000. A Crown XLS 2502 looks ok, a little less power than the Matrix, a little heavier, guessing the sound may not be as high quality as the Matrix? Some comparable offerings from QSC, Crest, Lab Gruppen. Even looked at a Demeter 1600HD, which seems great except it has tubes, so goes against the idea of keeping the amp and speakers “pure” so the Kemper can do its thing. Also, wondering if I should even look at a more powerful amp if I should go with the Super 24 to try and get close to its 1,200 watts capacity?

Thank you for your time and the great cabs

Hi Jeff,

Are you wanting a solely back-up or an alternate kind of thing?

In terms of amps it depends on how much of a hurry you're in - we've been delayed on the amp front with having to relocate the business but once our first amp is out the future models should follow fairly quickly.

I trust the rig is sounding great!

Best regards,

Alex

17/11/25 - Reformer 112 - UK

I have a 12" Reformer cab - green/silver. I am sleeving a valve amp head, and would like to get some green Tolex and silver grille cloth to cover the head to match the cab.

Can you either supply the small quantity required or advise on any supplier(s) who could provide a match?

Many thanks,

Ray

Hi Ray,

Sounds like it'll look great - I'll put together a price once we have some measurements from you! (Don't forget the amount you'll need to wrap/overlap etc). Hope the cab is sounding good!

Best regards,

Alex

The cab is excellent - it will be my default hence the idea to match it on the head if possible. Head is from Synergy SYN30-C combo which weighs 48lbs!

Fantastic cabs. I own the Reformer 1x12 fitted with a Vintage 30.

Bought it as my Zilla 2x12 was getting a bit much for the old back, best buy i've ever made. Not cheap but nice and light and sounds awesome.

Alls I know: Once my AlNiCo Cream 90's broke in, my Reformer cabs got even better! I didn't think they could get any better, but like fine wine...

05/11/25 - Reality 112FR - UK

Hi Alex,

Thoroughly enjoying the Reality!

I am now considering a Reformer with a guitar driver for two jobs: to act as a second cab powered by the Activier (with signal routing so the IR/Cab sim is bypassed for the second input etc), and as a main speaker for a 100w guitar amp. I am thinking of the Celestion Redback, because of the power handling and because I prefer a darker sound. 

My existing cab, Orange 1x12 with V30 has some harsh high mid frequencies (I think) that I just can't dial out and have the tone that I like. I have watched your YT vids on the Redback, and I do like the sound.

Main types of tones are clean/teensiest edge of breakup to higher gain rock.

Just wanted to check if you think the Reformer with Redback suits the bill? Can you build this as an 8 ohm driver as well?

Thanks!

Jules

Hi Jules,

Glad you're enjoying the Reality!

This sounds like a great plan!

We're big fans of the Redback - I think it's one of those drivers that sounds MILES better in an AVD cab because the big voice coil and stiffer cone (for the high power handling) give it narrower dispersion in a normal cab. The AVD fixes that and lets it really sing in the mids.

Best regards,

Alex

The cab arrived in perfect condition and it sounds and looks amazing!

Thanks a lot!

Picked up a second hand Super Twin… sounds killer!

The Barefaced stuff sounds incredible… 1200 watts and an easy one hand lift…

12/10/25 - Upsetter 110 (G10 Gold) - Czechia

Dear Alex,

I've been using the Upsetter 110 for a while now so I can finally give some user review. Overall I am pretty happy with the sound. I especially like:

• How much presence there is (last 2 gigs with just drums and bass I didn't even have to mic the cabinet)
• It takes the overdrive from my H&K Tubemeister surprisingly well
• Clean rhythm parts where I strum quick "stacatto" chords have a very pleasant attack to them, almost as if the tone was little bit compressed

There is only one negative point, however. Some tones (mostly a4-c5) tend to resonate louder than other tones if I stand too close to the cabinet. I suspect that might be due to me playing a hollow-body guitar. But as I was saying, all in all a very good cabinet. Hope this helps.

A friend (Lewie Bonner) used a Barefaced 1×10 cab on a gig where I was doing sound. It absolutely blew my mind.

The little 1×10 instantly became my favourite speaker. The Celestion G10 sounds phenomenal, the cab weighs next to nothing, and it just feels right. Finally, my rig started shrinking.

A few gigs later, I realised I didn’t even need the Fryette anymore. The small cab had solved the beaming problem. Sound engineers were happy, and as long as I had a monitor, I could hear myself perfectly.

It really does sound incredible and the cab is the main reason it does.

If/when I purchase a second Super Compact should I stack it on top, due to phase cancellation issues? I use my SC in “landscape mode” as I place my old Fender Bassman 135 head on top.

Tom

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Tom,

I'd stack the second on top - it's not so much phase cancellation as giving you better horizontal dispersion vs side by side. That'll be great with the Bassman! Hope the first is sounding good.

Best regards,

Alex

06/11/25 - One10T - USA

I am a jazz bassist based in Seattle (see: jazzbassist.com) I bought a One10T bass cabinet and cover from you a while ago and I absolutely LOVE this speaker.

I play upright bass through it with a variety of amp heads. I have been thinking about adding another 10" cab to my rig for certain venues. What do you think about adding another 10" without a tweeter or might you suggest a second 10T would be better for balance? I am also a little worried about the tariff situation for sending to the US. It may add an undesired cost to the cabinet at my end.

Any thoughts about this?

Thanks,

Jeff

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Jeff,

Glad you're loving it! How do you set the tweeter on the One10T now?

Regarding tariffs, they add about 10% to the cost - annoying but hopefully not a dealbreaker with how good our cabs are!

Best regards,

Alex

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Alex,

I usually have the tweeter set about midway on the One10T. That works fine in most settings for me.

Thank you for getting the cabinet out and on good time - it made a fast track to my place, arriving this morning without a hitch and is in good working order!
