only4 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Has anyone paired an EBS Reidmar 750 with a BF Supertwin or heard this combination? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstuk Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 There's a guy on the Facebook barefaced group with a compact and 250 reidmar . From what he says the combo you're suggesting will blow your head off . With good tone :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
only4 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Yes that's what I thought! Just wondering if it's potentially too much to cope with ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 [quote name='only4' timestamp='1479758792' post='3179076'] Has anyone paired an EBS Reidmar 750 with a BF Supertwin or heard this combination? [/quote] Not exactly. But I have an EBS Reidmar 750, a BB2 and a Super Midget. These cabs use the same drivers as the Supertwin. Individually and paired they make a super rig both in tone and volume. I'd imagine the Reidmar 750 paired with a Supertwin would be an excellent sounding rig. Maybe contact Alex (Barefaced owner) for advice? Frank.

Cuzzie Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I'd love to hear anything on this please as well. The Reidmar is certainly in my thoughts and I have a supertwin already but with a Hartke LH1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 In my experience/opinion the clarity and sheer power of the Reidmar 750 seems to pair very well with the Barefaced Generation3 12" speaker cabs. There's also a basschatter using a Reidmar 750 with a Barefaced one10 but although I have a one10 myself, I've never tried it with the Reidmar. I might try this combination at my next rehearsal. I'll report back. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however now pair my reidmar with a BF retro 2x10...sounds awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) If the Reidmar is like other EBS heads, you may not get that rip-your-fillings-out zingy treble that they can do (bright control) from the tweeterless Super Twin. A good thing IMO Edited November 22, 2016 by Roland Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 My only experience of Reidmar gear was using a 2 110 and the 250 as a provided back line on a pretty quiet gig. With the bass boost engaged I was pretty impressed by the sound. If the 750 has any of that tone it should be on everyone's evaluation list.

Bigwan Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) I've been putting together a shortlist of amps to use with my Two10. Be very interested to hear what anyone can add about the Reidmar with the 10" cabs. It's not an amp I would usually consider as the EBS sound wouldn't be for me typically. The Markbass stuff seems to match well, whereas I've heard people say the vintage-esque tone of the Aguilar Tonehammer amps is too much of the same thing with the Retro leanings of the Barefaced cab. I may end up back with the Orange Terror Bass as it's the closest I've found to my favoured Ashdown ABM tone... If only Ashdown could do a decent small format/lunchbox amp. Closest they've managed IMHO is the Little Bastard which is hardly the same thing! Edited November 22, 2016 by Bigwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good thing IMO [/quote] That was my exact feeling, my last rig was a Markbass 4x10 with the MarkBass 2x10 combo on top but i had to turn the tweeter right down as i don't get on with that harsh sound, don't get me wrong i like a full range sound but it can become a bit wearing if it's too toppy.

[/quote] I'm currently pairing the SuperTwin with a MarkBass TTE500 which is a lovely sounding combination but the tone controls on the amp don't give you much flexibility. I have wondered about the Tonehammer and also another MarkBass head maybe a Tube 500, but i like the look of the Reidmar it seems to have a good tone section.
