Yep, did a little searching and found it doesn’t work with Boss pedals. Damn, I wanted to say I owned a Moog, too!

Hello, please excuse the daft question, but does your expression pedal work with other manufacturers stuff? I have a Boss auto wah that has an expression pedal input I’d like to make use of.
Thanks,
Pete.

So finally had a chance to run this tiny little set up with a rock covers band - kept up (just) with two guitarists and a drummer - all very loud!

I was a bit concerned initially, mistaking clarity for lack of volume, but everybody could hear me fine.
I made extensive use of the built in limiter on the PF 350 - damn thing was almost constantly lit up! Even so, the drummer said the sound was clearer than my now retired Peterson combo. It’s nice that the limiter is being useful, rather than taking anything away from the sound.

This lovely little pairing will certainly be sufficient for my soul band, but I feel eventually i’ll get a second One10 for more air movement with the rock outfit.

Still GASing for the tweed one to sit atop mine.

I bought a 350, but only had one rehearsal and several hours noodling in the house thus far. Hopefully it will be ok!

Who just bought that jazz for 32 quid?!?! I was literally just about to click it!

Excellent tip, dude.

So I think i’m sorted now - Barefaced have been immense in helping me sort this out.
Strangely, the amp has sorted itself out too. I’m racking my brain trying to figure out what was wrong. The only thing I can come up with is that there was some gunk left over from manufacturing in/on the pots that has now worked it’s way free, so all the connections are good and no more weird buzz.

Anyway, on to enjoyment! Oh, and did you know Barefaced do different colour options? Seriously want a second One10 in tweed...

Black, but then swap the pup cases for cream. Go mad and put cream strat knobs on, too.

Oooh! Tempted myself...

Oooowff that’s lovely! I have a JV that is exactly what the OP is after. Only paid £250 for it about 4yrs ago too. You can prise it from my cold dead hands. Still, that one in black though, oooowwfff.

So after all this time turns out it’s thhe Ampeg, not the Barefaced. Gotta say, Alex & Harry at Barefaced have been superb at firstly trying to remotely diagnose, then taking the cab back to test. Glad I bought from them, not only for a cool cab, but the support.

So the Ampeg head has a slight distorted sound that can’t be heard very well through other cabs, the Barefaced happened to show it up really well because they are so much better!

I bought the head from Thomann, so they are pretty good with returns thankfully. A bit frustrated as I just want to play!

Oooh, nice! Paint matched headstock though?

Good shout. I love flamed necks but it doesn’t quite sit right on the face!

Soooo tempted to credit card this bad boy.

Or black with a gold anodised scratch plate, like wot the James Jameson fella had. Mmm, gold scratch plates...

I live a sheltered life, so pray tell; what is the raised bit between the pickups for?

I think there is something about the gold scratchplates. they very rarely look good in photos but look much better in the flesh.

100% agree - I love mine, but I cannot get a picture of it the way I see it!

Did the scratchplate get sanded too? Looks weird.
Was it together enough to play, or did it arrive disassembled? If it’s a good player and you had it for a good price, screw the retail/collectibility!
Some sort of off white would look nice.

I couldn't stand the way the raised pole pieces made the A string twice as loud as all the others! Swapped them for some Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders. Also put a gold anodized scratch plate on it (had to re-drill a few holes - sshhhhhh!).

The big magnets and general shape of the cones makes me think it's a bass cab as opposed to a guitar cab. I'd expect guitar speakers to be more rigid looking. Those things look like they move well.

Afraid I have to wait a bit longer - appears there is a bit of a buzz coming through the cab. Tried different basses, leads, heads and cabs, but the buzz only happens through the Barefaced.

Alex and co have been super helpful so far in trying to remotely diagnose the issue. Seems most likely at present to be an overly enthusiastic delivery person smashing the sh*t out of everything in their "care".

It's in a box waiting for Barefaced to arrange collection

Just noticed darn autocorrect ruined my title!

Hello chaps. This pretty little set up replaces a 35 year old Peterson combo. Super heavy!
I plugged the Ampeg in to the Peterson combo purely because it arrived before the cab, so it was a good A/B with the Peterson head. The Ampeg sounds cleaner, deeper and clearer. Now I'm plugged in to the Barefaced, it's just even more so. A nice balance.
Our next practice is toward the end of the month (dammit), so I'll see how it fares proper there.
There is a slight buzz coming from it, so I need to investigate further. I dropped Barefaced a quick email and they responded within a couple of hours with a really positive and logical set of things to try - fantastic customer service.
I need to try some different bits tonight to see wher the problem lies. Doubt it'll be the cab, hope it's not the head, if it's the bass I can deal with that (by getting a new one!)

Ola peeps. Bye bye struggling in to gigs banging my knuckles on door frames!!!
Here's to over twice the power at a third of the weight!!!

Patiently awaiting my 0ne 10. Hopefully will be here this week...

Fantastic! Makes me want to push on and get my build done with a big chunk of ash my dad gave me 20 years ago!

I play in a 9 piece function band, with a soundie and a good PA. The whole kit is mic'd. I think it's usually total overkill!

When we rehearse, we use an active wedge for vocals, nothing else mic'd up. Always sounds great, always feels good. Why not this way in a pub?!

My thinking is, I'm there to provide entertainment, to enhance a punters night. Not hold them in place with decibels/deafen them! It's not all about the band!

I think if more people subscribed to a more modest volume approach, more people would enjoy the music (and form nicer memories chatting with their friends etc) and maybe there would be more gigs for us lot to play!!!

It looks familiar. Maybe just a case of bass-ja-vu!

Tony Packer of Music Repair Services Wales who fixed my Peterson said he had a fantastic and enlightening conversation with the designer of the amp (guessing he was referring to Pete Tullett). Also said he'd suffered a stroke, poor fella.
