Super Compact or Super Midget ?

[Kevin Dean]

At band rehearsal last night i was using the Super Compact & loved the sound , But I went for a walk about & I noticed that when I walked away & off of axis I couldn't hear the lovey zing of the rotosound strings I normally hear . I was about to order another Super Compact but would a Super Midget with the The tweeter & focused mid punch be a better option ?

Sounds like you do nee a tweeter if you're missing your zing. But I guess before you do, have tried tweaking your EQ settings to see if you can still get enough zing for your tastes without a tweeter?

I know the super midget will still pair up well as its the same driver, and Alex has recommended this pairing before.

I suppose I can always turn the tweeter off & it would be pretty close to two super compacts ?

[Musashimonkey]

Although if you always have it switched off you'll be loosing some lows from the reduced cab volume I would imagine. May be best to call or email Alex.

I think if you have it turned off it diverts the signal into the 12".

What Musashimonkey means is that the Midget has a smaller cab than the SC so it lacks as much natural bottom end - so there's a trade off between getting the tweeter and losing a little bottom end.
Edit - and hence if you turn the tweeter off there's less lows than the SC.

Good choice - doubling up on what you already like is generally best.
