paul_5 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Anybody got any experience of an OTB into a Barefaced Compact? Just curious... Edited July 12, 2015 by paul_5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It was a highly recommended rig around here a few years ago so bound to be somebody along with experience in a wee while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41.2Hz Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 This is my current rig. Love it! As has been discussed at length in many threads the OTB is something of a one-trick pony, but if you like the one trick, you'll be happy. The Compact faithfully delivers the old-school, valve sound. I still haven’t tired of making just one trip from my car with all of my gear – OTB in it’s case on my shoulder, bass case in one hand and Compact in the other. Soooo much easier (and more powerful!) that the old “amp-4x12-1x15” rig!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggy Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Sounded righteous when I used that rig, big and round.[/font][/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Used Happy Jacks Barefaced cabs with a Terror a couple fof times at gigs. A really good match. Lovely old school beefy sound. I tried my TC Electronic head through the same cab and it sounded rank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I have a shedload of really nice kit (literally) but my default, go-to rig for small gigs remains my OTB into a (first generation, no-tweeter, 15") Compact. Small enough to fit into any space I might need to play in, light enough to carry through or across any likely obstacles, simple enough to be idiot-proof. Does it sound like a Matamp GT100 through a 610? No. Does it sound like a Demeter VTB-201 through a Powersoft into an Eden rig? No. Does it sound really good, and easily good enough for the gig? Oh yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
