Barefaced - portait or landscape

[Bassman Steve]

Ok, I've overcome my fear that a Bass 400+ would squash a Barefaced cab and have invested in a Compact.

The question is, can it be used on its side? The old site suggested not but then it's half an old Super 15 isn't it? That's orientated 'landscape'.

Experiment!

Try it on its back, on its front, doggy style, whatever ...

There's only 1 speaker so I guess it's good either way.

Well ive used mine both ways, and it works equally well either way. I had a wide Ashdown Klystron head that looked silly perched atop an upright Compact, but was perfect when the cab was on its side. Soundwise there was absolutely no difference.
For a while I had 2 compacts. Both on their side with the Ashdown on top was a fabulous sight and a thunderous sound.
Ive just sold my Compact though
Ahem.

Good grief man, you must be crazy. I hope the new owner is a virtuoso worthy of it?

+1 for 2 Compacts.

Actually the handle prevents completely stable portrait stacking but I may replace one set of feet with longer ones.
