One of the gen1 Compacts was in the GTG cab shootout that we did a few years ago and to my ears it sounded as good as any other cab there. I haven't gigged one though.
For the last couple of years I've been using 2 Super Compacts and I have played both on nearly every gig. IMO they just sound bigger and better, even with the volume turned down.
Now I'm also trying out a Three10 (Two10 and a One10) on some of the smaller gigs. So far these are making a great sound together.
Hi Chris, I am very interested in the tonal difference between BB2 and Two 10, between a 12” plus hf and the 2x10” speakers. Alex says on his website that the 10” speakers sound as their vintage ancestors did and that the 12” + hf sounds like a flat frequency response (modern sound). Since you can compare, what is your opinion? And why don’t you add a Super compact to a Two 10? That should be best of both worlds… or sound of not making dedicated choises?
