Hi Alex, Issac and the Barefaced Team

Here is a photo of my Barefaced Rig with a Fender Rumble 800 HD amp.

It sounds incredible 

Keep up the great work

Many thanks

Hello Barefaced team,

I’m enjoying the 2x10 Cab!! I think it is still breaking in as I’ve only played 2 shows at gig volume on it. I did want to inquire about your thoughts/recommendations on a good amplifier to pair this cab with.

I currently use a GK MB-200 and I don’t have any issues with needing more volume but this head is very simple and you can’t dial in any drive so it’s a bit sterile. I have used my Mesa Walkabout head and it sounds pretty good but it’s heavy and is impossible to carry in a backpack. 

Playing a Music Man Stingray 4. Mostly covers, ranging from Fall Out Boy, the Killers, the Struts, foo fighters, ect.

On a side note, I was in a guitar shop today looking to get my Music Man set-up and they had a Genzler Classic 2x10 cab with Magellan 350 head and it sounded wonderful with my music man.

Thanks,

Josh

Hi Josh,

You're probably best off taking your Two10 to a guitar shop and trying some heads!

Best regards,

My Super Twin T arrived today and it sounds incredible.

It's safe to say that you won't be getting it back!

One very happy customer indeed.

This cabinet is a monster!

Especially with low tuned guitars and baritone it's a dream of a sound, massive, dirty, heavy, brutal, impressive...

I only adjusted the volume about 2 of my Amp1 Mercury on the clean channel and it was mind blowing. 

Our bassist played also his bass with this cabinet and it sounded good. 

We tried different settings, different guitars, different music styles and I find out it's not the perfect cabinet for blues with a Stratocaster... but this doesn't matter... It's the perfect cabinet for different metal styles and heavy rock styles, stoner, doom...

Now I'm thinking about a 1x12 with a G12-M 65 Creamback with the same colours... maybe next year 😉

Hi Alex

My Three10T with my new One10 sounds incredible.

I'm about to buy a Fender Rumble 800HD amp, I've noticed on the back of the amp it has a 8/4 ohm and 2 ohm switch. I presume I leave it in the 8/4 ohm position? How many watts would that run?

Many thanks,

Steve

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

Hi Steve,

Yes, leave it in 8/4. It'll be about 800W with the full stack or with the Three10 on its own. If you were playing very hot sunny outdoor gigs I'd say switch it to 2 ohms then but you're in the UK so that's not going to be happening!

Best regards,

Alex

My BB3 arrived last Friday 🥳.

I would like to thank you for the excellent packaging! The parcel had several bumps and bruises on the outside, but the BB3 took no damage thanks to the multiple layers of cardboard and foam inserts.

Excellent work. I am really looking forward to taking the BB3 on the road.

Hello! I saw your video on 212BB:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbpMmpSpfd8

I am very interested in purchasing one, and want to be sure I'm making the best selections to order:

Currently I have Upsizing 212/1215/215 and the Bass-Baritone Hybrid Upsizing in my cart. Is there anything else you recommend?

I want to use it for playing Baritone Guitar using a Tube Amp, and 4 string bass guitar using a Forte D Bass Amp (not at the same time, but separately) I currently own a Reformer 112 and I love it! So was planning on buying a bass cab from you, but seeing the video, I would love one that works for Bass & Baritone!!

So, please let me know what you advise.

(I should mention I was planning on picking up a Big Baby 3, and stacking my Reformer 112 on top until I saw your 212BB video. 

At the end of the day would love to have an AVD cab that I can play guitar tube amps through (3rd Power Dragon 25, Marshall SVT20, Mesa Boogie Mark vii) and also have option for Baritone, and then a bass chain - bass effects into an 700-800 watt amp into a Barefaced cab. 
I don’t use modelers or have any plans to)

Thanks!

Matt

Hi Matt,

Great, this sounds a perfect reason for the 212BB! Here's what to order:

https://barefacedaudio.com/products/custom-guitar-drivers-eminence-for-avd-cabs?variant=48772055859480

https://barefacedaudio.com/products/specialist-avd-guitar-cab-customisations?variant=48772049535256

https://barefacedaudio.com/products/specialist-avd-guitar-cab-customisations?variant=44170805281048 (this allows us to put a switchable low cut filter on the guitar driver but not on the bass driver - and allows you to run dual amps for wet/dry etc if you want).

What guitar driver do you fancy for the 12" at the top? What's in your Reformer?

Best regards,

Alex

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

Perfect! So glad I asked before ordering. 

I have a vintage 30 ❤️

Do you recommend the same? 

Matt

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

Hi Matt,

The V30 is certainly a safe choice. However, we're big fans of the Redback, Cream and Copperback as higher power options.

Versus the V30, the Redback is thicker and less midrangey, the Cream is smoother and the Copperback is more detailed. Have a look through our youtube, we've definitely compared them all at some point. I'd probably go for the Copperback because it's so loud and honest and clear and handles a ton of power and is hilariously light in weight.

Could not be happier with my BB3 cab , I'm pairing it with the new Boss Katana-500 bass amp and it's the best bass rig I have ever used... period!

Hi team

I have two One10 speakers that are my 'go to' speakers for gigs. I love them. I'd like some advice on placement and stacking of them.

I sometimes put a small block of wood (approx 30mm) under the front of the speaker to tilt it up. This seems to help with clarity of sound depending on type of floor, covering and height of stage to audience. If I do this and I’m stacking two together, I'm thinking of angling the top speaker with a similar sized piece of wood on the rear of the top speaker to provide a flat surface for my amp to sit on. What would angling speakers in this orientation (as a single or stacked ) do to the sound from these speakers? Is it better to have them flat on the floor (pointing horizontal).When stacked having both flush front and vertical or can they be angled like this?

I'd be interested in your thoughts and advise on this.

Thank you

Chris

Hi Chris,

The best thing with this stuff is to just experiment and trust your ears, whilst also questioning whether you're hearing what you want to hear because of assumptions (which may be inaccurate) and if you're really hearing what you think. Glad you're loving them!

Best regards,

Alex

Your/my speakers sound GREAT!!!
I have now played some concerts with the set-up, and I'm blown away.
Small speakers but HUGE sound.
Incredibly happy.

Thanks,

I own an Upsizing cab and it’s my favourite cab I own. It’s just an amazing tool for my studio and recording.

I was wondering if you could make a custom sized cab for the 18" speaker so it won’t be as Tall as the Upsizing. Is that something you could do?

Ido

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

Hi Ido,

We could but it would be very expensive! Whenever we design a new model we assume the design time will be spread across lots of units. Not as much as a Dumble amp but probably Gibson custom shop guitar realm - there's a lot of man-hours in a new design!

Best regards,

Alex

My new Barefaced One10 arrived this morning. It looks fantastic.

I was wondering, there is a tab at the bottom of the grill. Does it mean I can remove it if I wanted to? I didn’t want to try that before I asked you guys?

Many thanks,

Steve

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

Hi Steve,

That's to take the grill off if the driver ever needs replacing or some fault-finding is required - but I don't recommend removing it for any other reason. Let us know how it sounds!

Best regards,

Alex
