artisan Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) so my Big Baby 2 arrived this morning, i am well impressed with both the build quality & just how light this cab is,i walked home at lunch time carrying it with no problem. i had a quick very quiet play through it during my lunch break but had to be very quiet so as not to upset the neighbours,which leads me to my question. at very low volume the crossover doesn't seem to do much & i won't get chance to crank it up until my next gig is this normal ? will it have more effect at high volume ? cheers Edited January 15, 2015 by artisan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I`ve found that with my Super 12 that when playing on my own, changing the tweeter settings doesn`t seem to have much impact on the sound, but when in the mix the difference it makes is very noticeable. Not spiky highs or anything like that, just a much better definition to the sound. Plus, as yours is new it probably needs to be "run in" for a bit as well.

Mudpup Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Mine makes quite a difference playing solo. Try putting an ipod thru it if you can - turn the tweeter dial up to the max and then back it off to hear the change. If i back it off a quarter turn there is a big drop in high end. That'll confirm if its working ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taunton-hobbit Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Barefaced stuff takes a while to 'burn in' - give it some wellie - don't be scared of it, some great kit comes out of Brighton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funky8884 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I had a play with this set up the other day and found the Crossover quite sensitive, I was giving the cab loads of level. Wish I had more time to mess about with it. [IMG]http://i62.tinypic.com/jgtgcw.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funky8884 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hi Essex, as you can see the treble was backed off , Bass wound up and the Master was cooking ! its sounds lovely and clean with a lot of body and a stupid amount of Bass !!! I have found with the buster that I would need 2 cabs to gig with as a single 12 or 15 never cut it live ( drummer was never super loud and guitars were 1 x 12" ) I would love to try the Buster with 2 off these or similar.

essexbasscat Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I'd imagine that TWO of them would probably be enough to deafen people across the road ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky8884 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Funny you say that , I was playing and I could see a guy walking along the footpath stop and acknowledge the rumble with smile ( or I hit the Brown note ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Gigged my cab last Saturday & was well impressed with it,the crossover works perfectly too. next Saturday I'll get to hear it with my new monster amp powering it,can't wait.
