13/10/24 - One10T - USA

I got my Barefaced One10T this week and....it's AWESOME.

I love this thing. I am considering getting a second one, but I also wanted to reach out because right now I use a Mesa Boogie Subway D350 with the single One10T. At 8Ohm it's 175W which works well, however if I connected two One10T in parallel it will go to 4Ohm and 350W which I believe is a problem for the One10T at 8Ohm and 250W.

I was wondering if you have any recommendations for amps that work well with two One10 cabs in parallel? Often I'll just use the one, but having the option for two in parallel would be nice. I think that would cover most/all of my gigs.

Thanks,

Alexander

Hi Alexander,

If you connect two One10T cabs to the D350, then it will put out 175W into one cab and 175W into the other, so 350W total between both. It's a great fit! Glad you're loving the first one!

Best regards,

Alex

09/10/24 - Super Mini - UK

I'm hoping you can help me.

A few years ago I had a Super Midget and foolishly sold it. I decided to change my whole rig and have regretted it ever since. I am now looking to buy a new Barefaced cab and was hoping for some advice.

I run a TC Electronics RH750 amp and have a Vanderkley 600w Neolite cab. It is a nice cab but does not have huge finesse. I am looking for a Barefaced cab to add that finesse. With the Vanderkley I don't hear the nuances of my playing, the ghost notes and little taps and kills. When I had the Super Midget I used a TC Electronics RH450 and got all the good stuff. I play a passive Wal bass and like a "woody" tone but maybe with just the V it is not muddy, but not enough tonality in the mids and possibly in the bass also.

As I say, I am looking to pair something up so anything from 500w to 800w is more than enough power. From what I've read/been informed, I see the choice as being between a Super Compact and a Two 10s. - but not having had the chance to try either I was hoping you could guide me.

Thanks in advance

Hi Mal,

Definitely a 12XN cab if you want all the nuances - that's a big part of what's so special about the 12XN, you hear EVERYTHING!

I have received, and am amazed by, the Super Mini T; it surpasses my exceedingly high expectations. Truly amazing.

06/10/24 - Big Twin 3 + Big Baby 3 - USA

Quick question: do I have anything to worry about hooking up the Big Twin 3 and the Big Baby 3 together to my Bergantino Forte HP 2?

I’ve done it twice for outside gigs with no front of house support and it sounded great. I set my amp at 2 ohms. But a lot of money between those three pieces of gear so I don’t wanna burn anything up.

Hi Corey,

That should be fine - set the amp to 2 ohms and each 12XN will get a third of the amp's power.

Best regards,

Alex

I purchased a Big Twin 3 from you guys in August of 2023. Love it! It works for all of my musical endeavors.

I am particularly impressed with how well it keeps up in my metal gig. Doesn't even break a sweat! Consider me a convert.

I have now recieved both a BT3 and a One10T and I am excited about both.

I am concidering ordering a Super Mini T and a One10, but I need it for an upcoming tour and would therefore like to ask you if it is possible to put a rush on delivery of these two items!? It would be greatly appreciated!

All arrived today just in time for us to try it out before packing it up for the outstore tour this week (and then Europe later) - sounds great, thanks again for getting it to us on time.

Best wishes,

This thing is beyond what words can express.

THANK YOU

Marco

28/09/24 - Reformer 112 - Germany

Well, I am super happy with it, can't imagine to use any other cab since I got it. The V-Type driver is indeed very versatile as you advised me and I can confirm this since I play anything from classic to alternative and heavier rock.

Thank you for the advice and delivery which was done exactly to my specific wishes!

Hi Alex

Long time no talk, I hope you’re doing well

I saw an ear blowing concert yesterday evening. I don’t know your musical taste? 

Between jazz and metal, 2 genres I usually hate, but I really loved this show. Virtuoso but never boring, super powerful yet musical, super original.

Tigran Hamasyan - They will be in London November 17, I highly recommend. Get the tickets, you will thank me.

I couldn’t see the stage very well from where I stood, so I get close to it at the end of the show, and, as you probably already guessed, the bassist was playing… a BT3

It was the first time I’ve seen a Barefaced cab in the wild (except for mine of course), I was happy that it was used by such a great musician.

Do you remember selling a Big Twin 3 to Marc Karapetian?  Trust me, he’s making good use of it

Cheers,

Guillaume

26/09/24 - Four10 - USA

Hi Alex!

Thank you for getting back to me.

This is my fourth Barefaced purchase and the Four10 is high quality, just like the other cabs.

Because I play in bands with different styles of music, I like being able to bring the equipment that I think will work well with the situation. This definitely has a different sound than the Supertwin (which I fully knew going into this). And that was the reason I bought it.

I can EQ it pretty easily to get what I'm looking for. Adding a boost around 1500-2000Hz gets me in the ballpark, just from playing around a little last night. I had to do it real quietly because my wife was sleeping, and so I really need to get it up to volume and try again. And I understand the horn might not even touch that range. I think I was just curious about making the mod. It just sounded slightly 'muffled' out of the box (which could be my hearing from playing decades of drums) and I was wondering about opening it up a little. That's the best way to convey what I was hearing. Please don't take that the wrong way, I know it's me, not the cab. I think maybe it's not a good match the Genzler Magellan 800? It sounded a little better with the Mark Bass. And I have a Reeves amp but it's in the shop getting fixed, that's a totally different beast, and I really want to try that set-up.

Because I ordered the 4ohm model, I can't really add another 4ohm cabinet. I haven't done the math on how the power would be divided up among the speakers if I added a 12 ohm Two10ST. But I was really just looking to bring the one cabinet to a gig.

I haven't taken it to practice yet. And if I've learned anything, it's that gear sounds much different there than in my loft.

This email might sound silly, I might be asking about something the cab wasn't made to do. I get that the mid-range response is different. So, it's on me. I know I'll find the right EQ and head combo and be rocking away with this thing in no time.

I love your stuff! It sounds good and I'm too old to drag around an Ampeg fridge.

Thanks, 

John

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

Hi John,

Cool, glad you're pleased with what we're doing! I wouldn't make any judgements based on using it that quietly - human ears are too non-linear in their response when you're quiet vs loud. The tweeter starts working higher than that and the 10CR drivers have plenty of about in the 1-2kHz region so the sound is available there.

Let me know how it sounds in band practice!

Alex

25/09/24 - One10T - UK

Hi,

I have ordered my second One10T from you guys but a friend just asked do you need to break in a new speaker? I didn't with the first I bought and wondered should I have ? Any advice would be grateful.

All the best,

Si

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

Hi Si,

You don't need to but it will break-in as you use it: https://barefacedaudio.com/pages/driver-break-in

That'll be a great little stack!

Best regards,

Alex
