loudish = 1 guitar with a 2x12 30w valve amp. completely overkill = if I can get something with slightly less output at reduced weight (my back is knackered) then happy days

Hello all... at the moment I am rocking a BF Super Twin and Fender Rumble head... I love the sound but the cab is completely overkill. Has anyone on here downsized to a Super Compact (BB3 is a bit out of my price range) with success? I play in loudish rock bands, but every gig has PA cover. I'm also considering the Fender Rumble 800 combo - i'm guessing this would be a mid point between the SC and ST...? Cheers all...

hello people. i play in a punk band - fender P, Orange TB500, fairly simple stuff. my main cab is an ashdown 4x10 but im looking to downsize with the idea being that i can walk from the car to the gig/rehearsal room with cab in one hand, amp in the other, bass on my back. i've heard good things about the barefaced super compact, it looks great and it's as light as anything but wonder whether it will be loud enough to keep up with 2 guitarists and a drummer. i've also been looking at the Orange OBC212, with by all accounts would be able to keep up despite being heavier. i'm not too fussed about tone at this point as I like what i get from the TB500, so it's just a case of whether these two cabs can hold a candle, volume wise, to a 4x10. if anyone else has any other suggestions i'd like to hear them. cheers.
