Kevin Dean Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I've now done a couple of pub gigs with this cab So here is my opinion . My main concern is my poor back , Carrying it is like carrying a small empty suite case So a big plus. Sound wise It's only going to be as good as the head you use , I use a Ashdowwn ABM1000 .This should make the cab work for it's money if needed , It's not a huge amount different from my old upper 12T maybe a bit tighter in the mid range . Using two other speaker systems 2 x Ashdown 2x10 neo cabs & the BF super 12T I'm able to get the sounds I like with eq changes , But The Ashdowns were 45lbs per cab . I've been playing in a covers band , covering a wide range of tones doing anything from The Stranglers To Sledge Hammer by Peter Gabriel with loads of Compression , & sub Oct ,It handled al with ease . I've been trying to talk myself into buying another one But I really don't think that I need one But it would look cool . Another thing I would say is that I don't miss the tweeter a all , I use to have this et half way on the Super 12T . & another thing , Standing really close to this cab on gigs I don't get the problem of not being to hear myself on small stages as I did .

machinehead Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Good to hear you're liking your SC. Why not buy a Super Midget for even more versatility? Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 My Compact is pretty darn good, but it's not officially 'Super'. So now I have Super Compact envy - D'oh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Not wanting to make your envy any worse JapanAxe, but I owned one of the first Compacts (G1) from new and loved it, a great cab then and still is now. But the BB2 I now own is an improvement over the previous models. I haven't heard a Super Compact, but I assume it must sound similar to a BB2 with the horn turned off. If that is correct, I think you'd like the Super Compact. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machinehead Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Kevin, I always use the BB2 where there's space. If it's tight or a small pub I use the SM. For bigger rooms I use both, but this rare. (Although I used both for last Saturday nights gig. It sounded massive.) Both cabs use the same driver and seem OK together. This set-up effectively gives you three rigs. Frank.

LewisK1975 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Having just bought an ABM1000 myself, I now have the same rig as the OP, I have 2 super compacts and intend to use 1 mainly, or 2 for big rooms. Should be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
