BIG sound, tiny cab. From hi-fi to old school. Freakishly loud and fat.

And now also available as an active version!

When we launched the One10 in 2015 it blew everyone away - no-one expects a cab this small to have such a huge warm sound, or go so loud. It's very versatile tonally because the 10CR250 driver has amazing treble extension with cone output running to almost 6kHz and dome output to 10kHz+.

If you want sparkly clean tweetery sounds we have the One10T version: You know that thing you like about great 4x10" + tweeter designs - the big fat lows, the dynamic response, the smooth mids with tons of treble clarity. It's that. But with far wider dispersion around the room so you don't have to stand in one spot to hear your tone. And it's less than a quarter the size and a fraction of the weight - but two of these will outperform most 410s, especially classic models.

What about upright bassists and doublers? Depending on your pickup/bass pairing, you can either go with the One10 or the One10T with the extra acoustic vibes from the tweeter's open airy tones. The better your pickup/mic set-up, the more you can turn the HF control up for a proper dose of finger on string reality. Some double basses / pickups need mellowing out in the highs so for them you can keep it simple and stick with the One10.

Activier 1 and 2 versions:

We are so thrilled with the real world power our Activier module has and how loud it can push a One10. Although we rate both the Activier 1 and 2 as 200W/ch into 4 ohms, it has so much headroom for peak and burst power vs its RMS rating that with head to head comparisons vs well respected 500W class D amps it's only about 1dB behind on max SPL when driving a One10. This would suggest that the peak/burst power is comparable to amps rated at ~250W into 8 ohms.

The Activier 1 is mono, so one input, one volume knob, one extension speaker out (connect up to two more 8 ohm cabs or one 4 ohm extension cab for more output).

The Activier 2 is stereo, so two inputs, two volume knobs, two extension speaker outs. On the Activier 2 One10(T) power amp channel 1 is connected to the internal speaker and extension speakon out 1. Power amp channel 2 is only connected to extension speakon out 2 - connect a second cab for stereo use, ideally a matching but passive One10(T).

Activier One10T crossover/HF control:

The Activier One10T is a very small cab with a LOT to fit inside it - instead of the large rotary L-pad as on the passive version, we're fitting a four step HF control similar to the one on the Activier Reality 112FR. This uses two toggle switches which work together to give you tweeter off, -3dB, 0dB, and +3dB tweeter loudness settings. Really intuitive to use and gives plenty of tonal control.

Top-hat customisation for stand-mounting:

If you want to use your One10T cabs as a tiny and very cute PA system (particularly if you go with cloth grills and/or custom tolex), add this customisation to your order. For a stereo PA you can use two passive One10T with an external stereo power amp, one Activier 2 One10T plus a passive One10T slave cab, or two Activier 1 One10T cabs.

Some double (upright) bassists like to pole-mount their One10(T) for better midrange audibility in dense mixes but as with all speakers, the further you lift them from the floor, the less low frequency reinforcement you get from the floor boundary reflection. You can test this by lifting any cab you own off the floor and hearing how it sounds. A solid rear or side wall can replace the floor's boundary reinforcement though!

Existing Barefaced owners - here's some ways this can pair up:

It's a perfect match for a One10 to make a two cab stack. If you have a Two10S and an amp that runs down to 2.7 ohm you can make a 3x10CR vertical stack. If you have a Four10, Six10 or Eight10 then a One10 or One10T is best used separately - but is a great way to get your big rig tone in less LOUD scenarios. If you have a 1x12XN or 2x12XN cab (from Super Midget to Big Twin 3) then a One10 or One10T is a great lower volume full-range alternative - the inherent fatness does good things when Fletcher-Munson isn't being so kind to your tone...

And if already own one or two passive One10(T) cabs, an Activier One10(T) can drive those too, simplifying your rig as you can leave your amp behind. There are also options for doing more eccentric things with clean/dirty or dry/wet mixes with an Activier 2 cab and various combinations of guitar or bass cabs - email us if you want to discuss anything.

Extra-wide "landscape" version for Three10+One10W stack:

At extra cost we can make you a wider landscape version of the One10 to stack on your Three10, loaded with a single 10CRA driver for 12 ohm nominal impedance. The One10W+Three10 stack is essentially a modular version of the 4 ohm Four10 and will go properly LOUD.  When used on its own the One10W's 12 ohm impedance will reduce a 500W @ 4 ohm head's max power to about 200W (@ 12 ohm).  Go here to add this customisation.

12/04/25 - One10T - USA

I just got a one10 with a tweeter, the current version and it has a little different tone compared to the original one10 I had 4 years ago, which had no tweeter. I keep the tweeter off on the current cab. Are there any design changes that would cause this? The earlier version seemed to have a warmer tone.

Any info is appreciated.

Great cabs.

Doug

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

Hi Doug,

It's probably just your memory being unreliable then! ;-) Did you know we don't actually remember original memories? Each time we recall something we overwrite the original memory, so information/facts tend to drift through repeated recollections, and if we don't recall things they get lost, so whatever we do, memory is unreliable - as conversations with my mother prove! ;-)  Also, the tone changes as the speaker breaks in.

Best regards,

Alex

I have a Barefaced One10 with no tweeter, which I purchased second hand on Facebook Marketplace. Love it, so much so that I am looking at purchasing a second One10 unit for bigger spaces and so I can run my amp at 4ohms.

I was wondering, however: should I purchase one with a tweeter (which is what I was leaning towards) or with no tweeter, due to the fact that my first cabinet does not have one? Would it matter, sonically?

Cheers,

Tim

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

Hi Tim,

Glad you're loving your first One10! If you want more treble brightness/clarity/air in your sound then go for a One10T. It's quite common for people to stack a One10T on One10 - most people don't need two tweeters.

Best regards,

Alex

21/03/25 - One10 + Two10S - USA

I have a One10 cab that I bought from you and have LOVED for the past bunch of years. Just got a used Two10S through talk bass, and had a question about impedance:

Your "Using multiple 10CR cabs" page recommends pairing the One10 at 8 ohms with the Two10S at 4 ohms for a combined 2.7 ohms. I have an amp (Acoustic Image Clarus SL-2) that can run at 2 ohms, but I was wondering about pairing the One10 at 8 ohms with the Two10S at 12 ohms for a combined 4.8 ohms, instead.

First of all, is my math correct (would it be 4.8 ohms)? Secondly, why do you recommend the 2.7 ohms over the 4.8 ohms? I don't know which would be better, so I am set to follow your advice of 2.7 ohms, but I'm wondering the reasoning behind your recommendation. Is a lower resistance better for the amp? My amp says 2 ohms minimum, but it doesn't say anything about a maximum - is a higher resistance harder on the amp (is more heat than sound produced)?

Curious to learn a little more about this - thanks for your time, and thanks for building great cabs.

Loving the pairing of these cabinets (at 2.7 ohms, so far).

Alex

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

Hi Alex,

Glad you've been loving the One10! Hope the Two10S addition works well for you - and thanks for finding that article, not everything on our site is very easy to find. Do spread the Barefaced word!

Hi Alex and team! I’ve been loving my Three10 & One10w (in the Ampeg blue checkered). I’m looking at getting an all tube head. Would 65watts be loud enough for a live show? The Silvertone head sounds great but it’s to fatigue to take out much.

Joey

Hi Joey,

Lots of variables there - how loud your band is, room acoustics, your tonal choices, where you sit in the mix, etc. How powerful is the Silvertone? Glad you're loving the cabs!

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,

06/12/24 - One10 - New Zealand

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

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!

Good afternoon, I was wondering if I could trouble you for some advice?

I have a Barefaced One10 that I purchased in 2016 that I love. I was running an EBS Reidmar Head through it which has sadly died this week. I'm just looking into getting a replacement head and was wondering if a TC Electronic BAM200 Ultra-Compact 200 Watt Bass Head would work through it? (https://www.andertons.co.uk/tc-electronic-bam-200-ultra-compact-200-watt-bass-head/).

I'm not much of an expert when it comes to Wattage and the Ohms of Heads and Cabs and wanted to check whether this Head would be safe to use and what sort out Output I could get from it? Thanks for your time, any advice would be much appreciated.

Best wishes

Alan

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

Hi Alan,

It'll be fine to use, not as powerful as the Reidmar, maybe 150W into the One10. No harm ordering it and sending it back if you don't like it!

Best regards,

Alex

I have two One10’s which i run with my Ashdown Mag600.

Very happy.

An Ashdown Mag 900 has recently come my way which would be nice to use on bigger gigs.

This has two separate outputs which will both run loads down to 4ohm.

Amp can’t be bi-amped.

Just checking its OK to use either a Two10S (on 4ohm) or another pair of One10’s (in parallel).

I appreciate that a Two10 is 2” deeper than a One10.

Thanks

25/11/24 - One10 - USA

Hello, I recently purchased a used One10, and I really enjoy it.

Am I correct in viewing the Activier as a clean pre & power amp capable of powering two One10 cabinets? Can I plug my passive bass directly into the Activier and gig with it? Also, the utilitarian minimalism of the Zero k7 prototype is so wonderful.

I'm tempted to put down a deposit, but I worry that the amp will become bigger or more complex. Will you post updates as you develop it? Thank you.

David

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

Hi David,

Yes, you can plug any bass straight into the Activier. It's like a zero EQ amp head that's built into a cab. The Zero k7 is getting closer to production. We won't be making it bigger or more complex - we have a more complex sister amp which has all the extra EQ that some bassists prefer. The reason for the Zero's name was "zero EQ" and we've already moved quite far from that with bass and treble shelving and the high pass filter, so we'll not be adding more! Glad you're enjoying your One10!

Best regards,

Alex

10/07/23 - One10 - Ireland

 

Just to say, my Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2 Class-D amp, atop a stack of two One-10s, looks a pretty picture. And it stands the test of time on pub gigs here in Ireland.

I usually point one One10 towards the audience to get the juice of my amplification up close, the other One10 towards me as a kick-ass monitor, and the rest DI into the desk and over the PA, with some compression, and room eq if we are bothered haha...

I feel very lucky with my setup, if I'm honest. You guys are central to that experience, Barefaced...

Many thanks from Ireland,

2 years ago I bought a One10 from you. I love it, but wish that I had bought a One 10T. Do you sell a tweeter kit that I can install in my cabinet?

Thanks

Tom

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

Hi Tom,

Sorry, it isn't possible to retrofit our tweeter - almost all the panels are different on the One10T vs the One10 because of how the inside is changed to fit the tweeter in and mount in securely. The resale is pretty good on our cabs if you want to upgrade though!

Best regards,

Alex

I've used it on three gigs so far (jazz gigs with double bass) and I couldn't be happier. Punchy, balanced and does not fart when pushed, in a tiny and low weight package. And looks classy with the silver cloth front. What more could I ask for?

17/10/24 - One10 - Italy

I'm seriously considering purchasing a second One10 to pair with the one I purchased a few months ago. After a few months of intensive use I can only say one thing: the cabinet sounds great and since it arrived I have no longer used the Schroeder, which I am now selling. The only limit is the amount of bass above a certain volume and for this reason I'm considering a second One10.

Marco

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

Hi Marco,

That's great to hear - and adding a second One10 will make a big difference in the amount of bass you can get when playing loud!

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!

06/06/24 - One10T - USA

Hey there Alex and Tom and Isaac and the Barefaced team!

I ordered a One10T from you in 2022 and it is spectacular. I am finally ready to order a companion One10 (without the tweeter) to go with it. I have 2 questions:

1. I'm wondering about production time in general, since last time I ordered custom tolex and grill cloth, and this time I'm just going to order a straight up black tolex/silver grill cloth combo -- wondering if that will make it a little faster...?

2. Wondering if you all still use FedEx International Priority for orders from the US...? Last time I had to have you send it to a FedEx office location since our local delivery guy likes to leave packages out on the street. Happy to go through that process again, but just wondering if that's changed.

Thank you so much! I am so proud to be a Barefaced artist -- I can't do a single show without people asking me about my cab and where it comes from. (It's especially amusing if I let them pick it up.) Hope you all are good over there.

Looking forward to cab #2!

Wil

Hi Wil,

Here's the current lead times: https://barefacedaudio.com/pages/production-and-delivery-times

11/07/24 - One10 - Denmark

Hi,

I’ve been using the cab for 2 concerts, and before the third one it has started to make a sort of loud electrical/digital distortion when I play? The noise is not constant, only when I play a note, and is as loud as the note I play, så it gets louder if I turn up the volume (vice versa).

I’ve been trying to connect different amps heads to different instruments, so the issue is in the cab. 

Do you have any idea what it could be, and how we can fix it?

Nicolai

Hi Alex,

The cabinet rocks. Very pleased with the output of a single 10 and very happy with running the 2 -10” singles together. It’s as least as big a sound as the BB3, to my ear anyway. I do get more wattage out of my amp driving the 2-8ohm = 4ohm 10s than the 8ohm BB3 12, maybe that’s it? Dunno. Could be my imagination. 

Down the road, I think I will have to replace the Big Twin, though. Stay tuned.

Randy

--------

Hi Randy,

Glad it's sounding good! Yes, two 10CR has similar output to one 12XN - the latter will do more if you want a totally clean sound, the former will do more if you're ok with more colouration and/or have less amp power.

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,

Just received the cabinet and it looks amazing. I was wondering which driver this has in it? 

Is it the same driver as in my three10 so I can run these together?

This setup sounds amazing by the way! 

Best Regards

Hi Joe,

It has the same driver as your Three10, to make a modular 4x10CRA with the power shared equally between the drivers and the amp seeing a 4 ohm nominal load.

Glad it’s looking good to you!

Best regards,

They don't sound good, they sound great, being powered by an Eden WT800,

Thanks again

I use a pair of One10s as a mini stack - and very fine they are, too. However, I was thinking about changing amp to an EBS Reidmar 502 - will this play nicely (and safely) with the One10s? I suspect the answer is yes, but I'm paranoid and don't want to risk damaging my cabinets. Therefore, I'd be grateful for your view. I've included a link to the EBS website.

Many thanks

Hi Alan,

Glad you're enjoying them! Why are you planning to change amp, is your current one not doing what you need? That amp will be fine though!

Best regards,

Hi Alex

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

30/05/24 - Upsetter / One10 - UK

I already have an Upsetter with a speaker rated at 60w @ 8ohms. With your activier amp is that rated at 100w into 8 and therefore safe to use with this cab?

Can they be retrofitted?

Thanks

Steve

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

Hi Steve,

Unfortunately they can't be retrofitted but you can use your current cab as an extension speaker for more output or stereo. Our experience regarding power ratings with solidstate amps is that you're absolutely fine using an amp rated at double the speaker's power, as that gives you 3dB of clean headroom even when cranked. As always with amps and speakers, you can't 100% guarantee that something won't get blown but the risks are no greater than using lower power valve amps because valve amps can be pushed so much harder and still sound good, which raises the average power level and it's the average power level that overheats and kills speakers.

Best regards,

Alex

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

Hi Alex,

Thanks very much for this. I don't need another guitar cab at the moment, the one is enough for my needs. I think I may go for an Orange PedalBaby as I have what I need in terms of pedals and a valve pre-amp.I'm still loving my 2 OneTens and this Upsetter too! I have been running the Upsetter from my Vox MV50 clean (pedals in front for the sound) which was loud enough for a large hall gig but it's been a bit unreliable and I need to upgrade.

Thanks again for your prompt response.

I live in NZ and I own a fabulous 1x10 Barefaced cab. I will be in the Uk in June and wondered if could visit you guys in Brighton because I want to buy another 1x10.

There is a waiting time I know but if I order it when I come over, it could be shipped by the time I return to NZ in Early August.

Besides which I would love to see the place myself.

You mentioned you are in the planning stages for a bass amp (for double bass?) How is that coming along?

I have a 1990’s Walter woods 100 watt amp and with 2x 10” cabs….well!

Steven

Hi Steven,

Yes, no problem, let us know when you're coming. The lead time isn't that long now that we're fully stocked with 10CR drivers again. Bass amp is making progress, I was testing it yesterday! Still plenty to do though... Glad you're loving your One10!

Best regards,

Alex

Hi Alex,

As I stated in previous email, I am enjoying my 1 x 10. I currently only have a Bergantino forte d amp, which I would like to save for bigger situations than practice and lessons and small group stuff. Do you have a recommendation, preference, suggestion for a portable / compact amp that would pair well with the 10? 

BTW, I sold my Big Twin 3 this morning which I bought in 2022 and even after providing free shipping and packing (and the fees r*ping from Reverb) still made my purchase price back and a little extra. So definitely held its value! It was just way more cab than I would ever need. Still have my BB3 and love it. 

OK, thanks! 

Best,

Randy

DHL just delivered my little cab. Gave it a brief audition and it absolutely rocks. I believe I like it better than my BB3 and my BT3…plenty loud for practice and will be perfect for small ensemble / group lesson and it sounds just great.

Sonically maybe the bigger FRFR cabs (to my ears) are a little harsh irrespective of tweeter settings…I may have to get another one of these little guys, it sounds just right to me. (Or maybe a Three10)

Hi, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for getting the cab built and delivered in such a short space of time, it arrived yesterday so I've even got a bit of time to start playing it in before the weekend.

Thanks again for the great service, you guys are great.

Dear Barefaced,

Many many many thanks. You are all brilliant. My new One10 arrived today, and it smells beautiful. Not only that it sounds superb. Absolutely fantastic service. With the delays of the 10CRs coming from the States, I wasn't expecting it for a month or two, but here it is....and I'm absolutely over the moon. Once again I'm so grateful to for pulling the stops out. You're the best.

Cheers,

Graham

08/03/24 - One10T - UK

Hi Alex

Have had the One10T for a while now and really liking the tone difference compared to the 12XN cabs I have.

Whilst having a play around the other day I tried running the One10 and the Super Midget together as a stack and they sounded great - the best of both worlds!

My question however - is there any detriment to running the mix of speaker sizes together (i.e. - would the 10 get worked much harder than the 12 at higher volumes and could I potentially harm one of the drivers?).

Using an Aguilar AG700 currently.

Thanks in advance

The cab is awesome, as usual. I use it weekly at rehearsal with my pre amp power amp gear. The dinky 5mm amp I bought just for home practice and pedal testing.

PS I'm still loving my SC too I haven't considered another cab since buying it years ago from you. Well, ok, maybe considering a 2nd SC to make a modular ST!

Just been giving my new One10 the run through, and it’s fantastic. Everything about it, it’s exactly what I need.

Much appreciated!

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.

 The One10T arrived on Thursday and I’ve been having some fun with it.

I knew it would be awesome but It’s even more awesome than I expected. I can hardly wait to see ow two of them sound.

01/02/23 - One10 + Four10 - USA

I currently have a One10 and Four10 i’m using with an Aguilar AG700 and Noble Preamp. I love the sound and tones I can get from it. I have an Ampeg PF-20T incoming that should pair nicely with the One10 for a smaller rig. I’d like to get an Ampeg Heritage SVT at some point and they only run at 4 and 2 ohms, so i’d need to couple the Four10 with a Two10 in order to run it (or just a Two10 on its own at 4 ohms). I also like the idea of have 2 One10’s for a nice 4 ohm stack.

Thanks for your help. I love the cabs.

25/12/22 - One10 - USA

Hi, I'm pleased with the One10 I have, so easy to carry and set up. However, I'm now playing in a rock covers band and finding that I have to go pretty loud to get through, particularly in medium/larger clubs with stages etc. And then the tone seems to suffer. I have a Darkglass 500 head.
What is the best way to go? Lightweight is important! A second One10, a Two10? Or something different? I think I'd like a fatter low end, but with maybe a bit sharper top end when some numbers need it. Tweeter?

Oh, what is the best placement for the one10 in gig situations. I'm always at the back with everyone stood in front with the one10 on the floor. Would it be better to raise the speaker on a (small) stand, or is floor resonance useful?

Bill

Hi Bill,

A rock covers band sounds pretty loud for a single One10! Adding a One10T will make it fatter and louder and give more treble brightness. Where to place the cab depends on the room and situation. You generally want at least one solid room boundary nearby (floor or solid wall), more nearby solid boundaries give more lows, fewer cost you lows.

My One10 arrived earlier this week. On arrival I found the box to be dented quite a bit. The cabinet however has not suffered any damage at all thanks to the superb packaging. That really payed off so compliments for that!
What a gem that little One10 is! I tried it out at home with a Crate Power Block which isn´t even a bass amp but it gives me an idea of what a powerhouse this cabinet is. Next week I will take it to our rehearsal room and introduce it to my Eden top. I expect it to be a revelating event.
Thank you so much for your service Alex, I´m a happy camper!
Best regards,
Bert Peijmen

Yes they sound great, just the look which is a little unusual :)

10/9/22 - Two10S and One10T - Matt Pegg

I have been using my 2x10 and 1x10T for the last year or so, they are both stunning!
Is there any chance of a 2x10T? Or a modification?
I didn’t think I would ever be asking for a tweeter, but the 1x10T is very usable,
I miss that now when using the 2x10 on it’s own.
All the best, keep up the incredible work!
Matt.

Thought you might also appreciate the attached of my super portable rig with another sonic marvel, my LX Minis, which I only came aware of thanks to your guitar cab blog. I was inspired to build some and now I never need to buy speakers ever again. 

When funds and need allows, I’ll probably have to get another One10. Thanks again and I’ll do my best to spread the word about your cabs.

Gentlemen,

You've made both the bassist and senior citizen in me very, very happy.

It’s a very punchy, clean and full sounding cabinet that has been perfect for my kind of playing situations.. and then there’s the weight. 

Thank you big time!!

I know it’s a One10 but my goodness it’s smaller than expected, there is a lot coming out of that little box, worth 2 kidneys not 1!
