Paul S Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Just got this out of the box to add to one I bought a few months back. My new rock band has its first gig on Saturday so I should be able to give it some welly. I'm very much enjoying my recently acquired Trace Elliot head so through 2 x Supercompacts it should make an impression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewisK1975 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) With the top speaker closer to ear level, regardless of volume, I prefer standing in front of 2 anyway, it's much more 'rewarding' to the players ear than one. 10ft away there probably wouldn't be much difference, but on an average pub / club gig I'm never usually further than 5ft away from the amp.. Here's a pic from last weekend - love the way the lights have made my head go purple! Must've had an itchy lug'ole at the time too!

Merton Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) I find one plenty for most situations but two looks cooler. And with a 30W valve amp driving them having the extra speaker area is ace: Edited September 18, 2015 by Merton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Thanks. It was I put this in another thread: [quote]...[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]first outing for my new rig - Trace Elliot head RAH300-12 SMX into 2 x BF Supercompacts. Bass was my Squier Katana, which is the first time I have gigged with that.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Rig was phenomenal. Best sound I have ever had, period. Real authority and presence, like when I used to have my much loved and missed old Trace Elliot rig, but with greater clarity and punch from the Supercompacts. A bass player who was watching right at the back of the room said as soon as I started playing it hit him straight in the gut, which is good! Katana bass was fantastic, a marvelous woody precision tone that could be dull and thuddy or sharp and edgy and maybe a touch more bite than some of my other Ps. In the context of the band it was the perfect sound I was looking for. Looked the mutts, too.[/font][/color][/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
