I would say the only reason they harp on about the 12 vs 10 is because they clearly state they designed the 10 like a more old school driver and the 12 to be as high power, clean and flat as possible.They could have done that the other way round but this is the way they’ve gone and that’s why there is a distinction on their website. IMO it’s not the same as Ashdown (for example) saying a 15 is for the lows and a 10 does mids and highs better. But totally agree that we have to go towards the “what value does this bring you as a player” rather than “you need 15s for low and loud” type spiel

Oooh I like that a lot!

Yes

Glad I’m not the only one. Hideous thing!

IIRC it was a combination of both in the end!

Yeah they changed the tolex after all those many peeling cabs!

Or continual product improvement… Probably makes making the One10 Actifier can (or whatever it’s called) easier with the positions switched, hence changing all. Annoying but not the first company to do such a thing and won’t be the last

Blackbird, ABIII and Fortress are my faves; their new one is only a day old so not spent enough time with it yet.

Ultimately if you did this with Absolute Classic Rock you’d probably get a similar list; their playlist is very heavily stuck in those decades and the more modern takes on “classic rock” which PR plays don’t get a look in (Those Damn Crows, Florence Black, Massive Wagons, even Alter Bridge and the lamentable 5FDP). I bet if you asked the Kerrang radio listeners to do theirs, that’s when you’d get a bit more variety. They seem to focus on 90s onwards, with a smattering of classic Sabbath, Maiden, Ozzy, Van Halen etc. It’s through Kerrang that I discovered I’d missed all 25 years of Billy Talent (bloody love that band now) and Rise Against (same) and learnt more about a lot of other bands I knew from one or two songs only. It’s all incredibly subjective, and ultimately the PR raison d’etre is to play the older “classic” rock, hence that’s what the list will provide because that’s why the listeners tune in.

It’s my favourite song, and I’m going to insist on it being played in full at my funeral, whenever that may be (hopefully many years from now 😆)

Yes

Balls, didn’t know that!

This is the one @chris_b mentioned - a flipping bargain and hopefully relatively close:
