Thanks everyone. I used the first edition compact when it did the uk tour, and tried it in a medal band (drop c) tuning and it wasn't as loud as the 4x10 I had then, so have not really followed much since. I suppose it could be worth trying out in standard tuning nowadays though... I'm in Keighley West Yorkshire btw! Oh and I know they're light - loaded amp, cab, guitar and pedals in in one go! Cheers

Sadly I have neither the tools not ability to build my own simplexx, otherwise that's what I'd do for sure! If I just went with one cab I could run to £400, but doubt they (barefaced) go for that second hand, and certainly not new! Re the TC, which cabs do you use? Thanks for all replies!

Sorry folks, appreciate there are 1,001 of these topics, but would really appreciate some input... Background - I'm in a 4 piece (vocal, guitar, bass and drummer) cover band, and am on the search for a new cab(s). After a gig I have to take said cab(s) up two flights of narrow stairs, so spec is as follows: Needs to be small, and preferably light, but size is key here due to stairs. Would prefer to be 12 inch cones but happy to be talked around. Previously used ampeg fridge / decent 4x10's and love the thump and how low they go. Have read countless good things about genz benz focus 112 cabs but can't find one anywhere now they're out of production. 2 cabs would be preferable, I.e 2 x 112 cabs, and budget for each is a max of £200. Must be loud! Our drummer is on another level volume wise. Currently pricing up someone to build a bfm simplexx cab but this isn't a definite, just seeing if viable - any reviews of these would be appreciated! Thanks v much in advance for any help. Cheers Rick

Does anybody know if anywhere still has any stock of these cabs? Missed the boat with bass direct (curse my indecisiveness), and trying, so far in vain, to source 1, or 2 from elsewhere... Thanks!

I used to have a line 6 pod xt pro, which I recently, and foolishly sold. Great bits of kit, and you can connect a foot switch to it / get the all in one floor board (though not sure if this has a DI?). Anyway, line 6 get my vote, and I know there's various forms in the for sale section at the moment...

Great guy to deal with - bought a 2u soft case arrived sharpish well packaged - recommended!

Bought a zoom pedal - fast, smooth and easy transaction - pleasure to deal with, recommended!

Stand up bloke to deal with! Packaging was first rate, even though product was cheap. Fast, easy transaction - highly recommended!

Got a cab from Darren this weekend - I showed interest on the Saturday eve, picked up said cab Sunday morning - easy dealings! Cheers Darren!

Ed bought my DTR1000 Korg rack tuner. Fast payment, no messing about, top bloke to deal with!
