Big Baby 3

Prepare to hear every detail of your tone like never before.

Huge power handling so it can move as much air as a good 4x10", keeps punching hard even on relentlessly loud gigs, wide dispersion so everyone in the venue can hear it properly, but still easy to carry with one hand. High sensitivity so you can use it with low power lightweight heads and still play louder than other small cabs. Not only for bass but arguably the most potent FRFR guitar cab yet made and a great compact PA speaker that doesn't need subwoofers to fill in the lows.

Need more output? Add a second Big Baby 3 to make a modular Big Twin 3 or a Super Mini to make a versatile modular rig with small, medium and large options to suit your gigs.

The BB3 and BT3 take the outstanding performance of our ground-breaking BB2 and BT2 models, but step things up another level with a host of improvements. For more details of how the tone and accuracy and gigging ease has been made even better, click on this link.

Hello, I have a question about the current model of the Big Baby 3. At what position of the tweeter control would the overall frequency response of the cabinet be flat? Thanks for your help. I’m enjoying my BB3.

Bill

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

Hi Bill,

It's about somewhere around a third of the way down. In any given acoustic space it's best to adjust by ear so it sounds right. Glad to hear you're enjoying it!

Best regards,

Looking forward to something amazing to practice with in my study – I can then leave the 2 x BB3s for playing with the band. My only regret with the BB3s is I don’t get to play them loud as often as I would like – I find them incredible in a big room.

I'm liking the BB3s very much. I love being able to pick them up with one hand, and the fact that they are half the weight of my Pearson/Beyma cabs. They bring a bit more heft to the bottom end of my sound, which I also like. I'm looking forward playing more gigs with them.

10/10/24 - Big Baby 2 - UK

Hi! I’ve been the proud owner of Big Twin 2 (Gen 3) for many years now.

Always loved the transparency of the cab with my Genz Benz & Darkglass heads. I’ve recently moved over to a Neural DSP Quad Cortex and I’ve found it a struggle to get a tone I’m happy with thus far. Being an FRFR cab (though no ordinary FRFR ofc), I expected using a modelled head & cab IR I’m familiar with, it to be an instant hit, but I’m finding that the bass response is overwhelming, almost head splitting where I have to turn it down where It gets lost in a rehearsal mix, or it’s too spiky in the high end using overdrives.

I can’t find the balance! I’m happy with the tone in IEMS in general so I’m a little lost! Do you have any advice for optimising the Quad Cortex for the BT2? EQ or general tips for modellers with the Big Twin series?

Thank you so much for any advice you may have!

Tom

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

Hi Tom,

There's a few things it could be - if the cab is in the corner of a room with solid walls then you get a load of extra lows. If the HF control is all the way up then you may want to back it off a bit. The quality of IRs is very variable (the more I learn about them, the more incomplete I realise they are). Or is there any EQ in the signal chain going to the cab? In a normal half-space environment (on the ground, walls a long way away) the response of the BT2 is pretty damned flat until it rolls off the in the lows and highs - no peaks or dips of significance. From our experimentation with guitar FRFR cabs, we've found that it's rarely plug and play, it takes quite some work to get it all sorted.

Best regards,

Alex

I was just curious why it has the two speakon/combi sockets? Is it just in case one fails for some reason, or is there some else to it?

I love my Big Baby 3! I'm already craving another purchase lol

Great work!

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.

Corey

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

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,

09/09/24 - Big Baby 2 + 3 - UK

Hi Alex, this is an odd question but, I have a Big Baby II. I’m getting a PA and have been advised that I will still need a sub even with 15” tops. I use the BB with a Crown 1000w PA amp, normally, bridged. Will I kill my cab if I use the amp and cab as a sub, for now?

Thanks. That cab is pretty damned awesome so don’t want to hurt it.

Adrian

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

Hi Adrian,

As long as the cab is running clean then it'll be fine - the 12XN is designed to distort quite a lot before it blows (unless you're putting in a particularly unusual signal). What are your crossover and limiter settings going to be?

Best regards,

Alex

Hi,

I need a cover for a Big Baby 2 (Not the current BB3 model). Do you still have these? If so, what will it cost? I live in Oslo, Norway.

I also own a One10 and a Super Midget that I am very happy with!

Kind regards,

Hi Bjønar,

I'm sorry, we're all out of those covers now. We might be able to get one made for you if you wish?

Glad you're enjoying the One10 and SM!

I went to Chuck’s here and put a Quilter BB802 through it. Sounded marvelous. Several staff came over and said they had to see what was making the sales floor shake but still sounded clear.

I had all the 40+ snare drums in the drum dept. 50-100ft away vibrating their snares!

So I have the Quilter on acceptance.

Can’t wait to hear the BB3 with your new amp!!

I feel so happy now. Remarkable! I have never heard a cabinet that clear except through mid to high end PA systems.

Hi Alex,

I already have one of your Four10 cabs (and it’s fantastic) but I’m thinking of making a change in my rig to using a Quad Cortex, largely due to wanting to downsize and simplify (current rig is two seperate stacks, one doing regular bass and the other doing octave up “guitar” stuff a la Royal Blood etc). I’d like to save space and my back!

10/07/24 - Big Baby 3 - USA

Hi Alex and gang!

I ordered a BB3 last year and have been absolutely loving it since I got it - paired with a Mesa/boogie TT-800. Aside from playing bass, I also play pedal steel and have been experimenting with running my pedal steel through the BB3. I have a quilter tone lock 202 that I run into it, and I can get a pretty nice sound overall but I’m starting to wonder if it’s worth exploring any sort of IR or speaker sim pedals to make use of the FRFR nature of the BB3, get it sounding more like a *steel guitar* speaker of sorts. I’d like to be able to shape the overall tone in this way as opposed to trying to eq heavier on the preamp than I normally would. Wondering if you have any ideas for best practice, or for any IR gear that would pair particularly well with a BB3?

I’ve never really messed with IR/speaker sim stuff so coming at this from a place of knowing next to nothing. Even if you can’t really recommend running a pedal steel through the BB3 that’s helpful info as well. 

Thanks in advance!

Jesse

---------

Hi Jesse,

Glad you're loving it! The BB3 is super accurate so if you put any pedal steel speaker IR into it then it'll get that sound really well. I don't know about standalone IR gear, it's not something I use but everyone here is using Quad Cortex or Helixes. James here has built a pedal steel and he says there's a particular Peavey combo that's most popular for it and I'm sure Eminence make some pedal steel speakers, so maybe there are IRs for them?

Best regards,

Alex

10/07/24 - Big Baby 2 + One10 - UK

I've been using 2 x BB2 cabs for gigs and 2 x One10s for rehearsals - very happy with both. There are however some changes ahead and wanted to ask your opinion if you have time... I have a new amp coming (not yours, although I've joined the queue too) and it has the option to go to 2ohm, it's a Jad Freer Coda 800w Power Amp. Since we have PA support with a subwoofer, and space is limited I have had to reduce to 1 x BB2. Mostly this is enough, but last week I did a gig in a small venue with the 2 One10s and it sounded pretty powerful and was a breeze for fitting in the car with all the other kit. I did feel I may have been driving then a tad hard with my GR Pure Amp 800w power amp, but then the Jad Freer preamp I'm using has a bit of grit, so.... So here is the crux of it. With the new amp, would I be able to drive three One10s at the 2ohm setting? ( I'd be ordering a One10 T)I see a number of people with this arrangement, but despite reading all your info I'm still baffled by the Ohm thing, well when it goes below 4 anyhow.

The three One10s would easily fit in the car with the sub giving me a bit more spread... or will it? One last thing, with your new ZeroK 7 what cab combinations would you be recommending - this may answer my question above too. Sorry for waffling, but in fairness I have had to watch your videos so you can't complain ha ha ha All the best Awesome cabs btw, never been happier.

Tim

--------

Hi Tim,

I'd almost always make the decision based on tone - the 12XN and 10CR are quite different.

But if your amp is 2 ohm stable then you can run up to four One10 cabs, and each one you add will increase the max output and how big the rig sounds. With the Zero k7 it's the same, you can run up to four 10CR or four 12XN with all parallel wiring, or more with series/parallel (like in a Six10 or Eight10 or Four10+Two10S stack).

Glad you're loving the cabs!

Best regards,

Alex

I ended up picking up a lightly used BB3 and plan to order a Three10 when finances allow. The BB3 works very well with the Forte Hp and is certainly loud enough for my soul project. I was very pleasantly surprised at how much it puts out.

15/07/24 - Big Baby 3 - UK

I’m contacting you for some help and advice regarding my Big Baby 3 bass cab which I bought second hand a couple of years ago. I’m not very technically minded so please bear with me! One of the drivers hasn’t been working properly and I think I have identified the offender as the Faital Pro 6PR 150 which although is still reading 5.7 on a multimeter seems to be distorting and making ‘scratching’ noises, the scratching is also evident when I gently press the cone in and out with my thumbs (a test I saw being undertaken on the internet). I am now considering replacing the speaker but I wonder whether you have any additional advice about this and also whether there are any ‘upgrades’ to consider when I replace.

Many thanks in advance

Elfed

--------

Hi Elfed,

That sounds like an overpowered driver, so it'll need replacing! Get the same again as the crossover is designed specifically for its frequency and impedance curves. The most likely cause is an amp heavily clipping due to insufficient power for the situation but it's very rare fault!

Best regards,

Alex

16/07/24 - Big Baby 3 + Big Twin 3 - USA

More fire power than I needed but sounded great! I’m absolutely loving this BB3 and BT3 and together they are a force to be reckoned with! That acoustic drum kit next to me with no glass wasn’t a struggle at all I had to turn my bass down to not shake the metal screws out of the tin roof in that little pavilion.

Thanks again Alex and the gang for making killer gear!

24/04/24 - Big Baby 3 - UK

Hi Alex,

Well, I'm about 2 weeks into my 30-day trial and have already decided I shall be hanging onto the Big Baby. I used it at our recent gig, as planned, and it worked very well (in pretty awful acoustic circumstances - very boomy stage and room).

I did some A/B tests against my Epifani 3x10 at home and it's less "bright" (that's with the Epi "tweeter" dialed almost out and the Big Baby's at about 50%) but I think my bass sounds more like a Wal through it. I could use a little more clarity, so I'll experiment with the tweeter (or, as I explained, this could be partly due to my compromised hearing?). Do you advise setting the cab on the floor or is raised up better? 

The real clincher is the portability. My wife (who always helps me hump gear around, bless her) can lift it with one hand. 

I'm going to have to re-think my amp arrangement, as I keep my Demeter in a soft rack so the handle and front flap are squished between the amp and cab rather than it being able to lay flat. As the cab is so small, this means it rocks about a bit, so it's all a bit precarious. I don't know how far letting the soft "rack door" hang down over the speaker grill (rather than stuffing it underneath) will impact the sound? What do you think?

Anyway, for now, I'm pretty happy with the cab and will see how things go for a while using it with my 1x15. If funds allow, I may opt for a second. Have you ever thought of using the locking corners so they'd stack a bit more securely?

Thanks for your advice up-front and the excellent approach of allowing the 30 day trial. Without that, I would never have risked it, so would have missed out.

Cheers for now,

Tony

So I’ve had my big baby 3 now for probably over a year and there isn’t a piece of kit that I have been more pleased with. As a musician and a gear nut I am always finding little things that could be better with everything… except the Big Baby 3! Just when I think it can’t get louder or I’ll blow it, it does get louder and doesn’t distort at all!

I’m going on 7 years with my Big Baby 2 and can’t tell you how happy I am with it. My amp search ended when I found the Orange Bass Terror amp (newer version). Coupled with the BB2 and my 5 string, it is pure heaven. This combination is just magical. So much better than anything else I had previously.

Hi, I got two BB2 cabs bought from you in 2018. Very happy, but looking for a more warm punchy tone. So that leads me to 4x10 or 6x10. The two BB2 have always been loud enough for me, with good margin. I have a orange 4-stroke 500w, and volume more between 10-11 rather than 11-12. You think 4x10?

Eivind

Hi Eivind,

Sounds like a 4 ohm Four10 will be plenty loud enough! Glad you've been enjoying the dual BB2 stack. Are you thinking tweetered or not? How do you set the HF controls on your BB2 cabs?

Best regards,

Just wanted to update . I’ve had this cab for over a year now and it gets played at least 10 hours a week with a live church gospel music situation . It gets played hard and loud with loud drums and organ and Leslie and I am so impressed with it! It’s hard to describe how big and crystal clear and accurate this little cab is . I never get lost on stage ! No matter how loud other get ! Good job Alex and the team . If I had 2 of these I wouldn’t need front of house

Dear Alex and magicians,

I absolutely love my Big Baby 3! Fellow musicians are wondering why they now hear what I have been playing for years. Great sounding gear! 

I decided to buy another one to stack the Big Babies. Actually, I already ordered my second one! I happen to notice that there are no 3D-edges to hold them in place. My amp is sometimes ‘walking’ over the Big Baby and right now, I solve this by putting a layer of 1 inch thick granulaat (rubber) in between them. But I do not know if that works for a stacked duo BBs too. Do you have any tips for me?

I managed to try my B25 on the BB2 in a group setting yesterday. I am sincerely amazed by the result. I could use it no problem without overdriving it. Those 12" are amazing!

Would the 10" cabinets sound a bit more "ampeg"?

Guys-

I been out on the road the past 18 months with my band and the BB3 has been absolutely amazing. We've been using it for keys, particularly key bass and it sounds great every single night under so many different circumstances. 

Also, it sounds really good on baritone guitar. I know it's designed for bass but with a slight amount of EQ on the amp, it can sound great for baritone as well. 

I'll be buying another one soon.

Thanks,

Matt

11/11/22 - Big Baby 3 - USA

So I’ve had my big baby 3 for a couple months and am loving it . I have a tonehammer 700 and a ag700 as far as heads go and at 8 ohms they only put out 350 watts . That being said the cab is very loud with those amps . The tone is of course very accurate and natural . The speaker does a great job recreating what I feel is the pure tone of my music man stingray special . Now… i say all that to say this . I just found a crown power amp that was lying around church , and bridged it puts out 700 watts at 8 ohms . So I ran the preamp section of my Aggie amp to the power amp and to the bb3 and wow !!!!!! It is as loud as my 4-10 ampeg ported cab! With beautiful clarity and no distortion . I am very impressed with the engineering of this cab . And at under 30 pounds doesn’t make sense to me . Thank you for a killer product . Def the best money spent on sound gear ever I think . Although I do love my stingray

Proud owner of the Big Baby 3 here!

Got a question about hiss.

I've been running the cab with a Genz-Benz Shuttle 6.2 and it's brilliant! Today I decided to check out the Audio Form Factor BI1000DI and with gain at about 3 and master at about 3 the hiss is unbearable.

Question: Is this normal, have I just been running the Genz-Benz which outputs 375W and now hearing a 600W via the the BI1000DI or is BI1000DI just complete shit with very bad noise floor?

It sure doesn't feel/sound like a normal thing, but I haven't been around in the cab/head area enough to know if this is normal.

Cheers!
Jacob

Alex responds: Glad it's sounding great! Regarding hiss, cabs don't hiss but all amps do (to some degree). If there's a lot of hiss then it's an amp issue - usually a design/product issue, not a fixable fault. Having a few dB more power should only add a few dB more hiss if you're increasing the gain too - and a few dB isn't much anyway.

28/9/22 - Big Baby 2 dual cab stack - UK

I have a couple of Big Baby II cabs that I normally use for bass but I'd like to also use them as a PA for a friend's swing band.

Is there any bracing that I would need to avoid if installing top hats?

Thanks in advance

Dave

Alex responds: You'd need to reinforce the base panel on the inside, so it's 18mm thick minimum, and mount the top hats with bolts and t-nuts, not wood screws. It's a fair bit of work to do well but not that complicated - grill off, speakers out, insulation out in places (you'll need to make sure no sawdust gets left behind stuck in the insulation), cut an internal reinforcement to fit neatly between the spine braces, glue it in solidly and then the four bolt holes and top hat hole through the lot, fit t-nuts and use silicone to make sure there are no air leaks past the top hat before bolting it in place. They do make great PA speakers!

Thankyou for that Alex.

Much more helpful than I could have hoped for.
A nice little project for me.
As you already know, your cabs are miraculous.

Regards

I bought a BB3 at the end of last year and it KICKS ASS!

Now I'm looking to replace my head and downsize but not sacrifice.

I have it down to an Orange Terror 500 (which all reviews say is amazing) and a GK Legacy 800 (I owned a GK 400 back in the day which I loved) and was wondering your thoughts on which you might think brings the beast to bear.

In particular, volume, which while I'm not filling stadiums or anything, just bars, I want to have available.

I come from punk, but am most often playing a wide range of music in my band (60's to 2000's).

Any thoughts you might have would be welcome!

Thanks!

Alex responds: Glad to hear the BB3 is performing well! What amp have you been using recently with it and what do you most like/dislike about its tone, output, etc?

I received excellent feedback from a few audience members on a recent gig - with the bass sound; Barefaced Big Baby 3 and Bergantino Amp + Musicman Sabre

Simply inspiring.
Clean, punchy, they carry sound quite well (thirty feet is almost as ‘present’ as three feet).
Alex, you are a wizard. Thank you.

I received my 2nd BB2 a couple months back, & although I haven’t needed to use/stack it yet together with my other BB2 I got last year, I now have realized that for the gigs when I just 1 cab my BB2 is awesome & perfect! But when I do need a 212 I now know that I would prefer just to have 1 of your stand alone 212’s (SuperTwin or BigTwinII), rather than bringing 2 BB2’s.  My question is- would it be possible for me to return 1 of my BB2’s & cover, which is in absolutely perfect, mint condition, & get that credited  towards your stand alone 212 (SuperTwin or BigTwin II)? I would of course be willing to pay for the 212 upfront, as well as the shipping cost for BB2, & I would also be fine waiting until you received the BB2 back from me to wait on the transaction for the 212… I hope we can work something out, as I truly do love your cabs, but would simply prefer to have 1 BB2 & 1 Barefaced 212, instead of 2 BB2’s.

Wanted to let you know that it’s an unequivocal thumbs up for the cabinet which has been well and truly tested on several gigs now and sounds amazingly natural across the whole aural spectrum. Needles to say I’ll be keeping the unit!

Played the American Airlines Center Party on the Plaza a coupla weeks ago. Amazing sound space that the SM+BB2 filled with some deep, tight tone

I really enjoy the cab, the dispersion is great.. no more finding a sweet spot to be heard.
Indoor i've got more power then i can handle  (without getting feedback).
Can't wait for outdoor festivals next summer, should be a blast.

The clarity (tone) is also superb; something i really dig with double bass.

Thanks for the input on the HF; my double bass doesn't have allot of treble, that'll explain why i wont hear much difference.
