mikegatward Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Am contemplating whether to get a BB2 to replace existing super twin. i love the super twin but the chance to reduce the payload by 6kg is tempting. Has anyone gigged both cabs ?. I play in rock/indie covers band with 2 guitarists and a drummer who plays an electronic kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrixn1 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Have you excluded the Super Compact from consideration? I just mean that the Super Compact is the smaller version of the Super Twin, more than the Big Baby 2 is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubbybloke68 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Hi,I have an older gen2 super12t and a bb2 gen 3 .both great cabs.the bb2 I actually think has a fuller smoother sound whereas the 2x12 is more harsh/middy but still cuts through.lugging wise the bb2 is easy to carry weight wise but still large enough to be awkward sometimes so I’ve ordered a super midget to pair with it for bigger gigs and hopefully use the midget on its own for rehearsals/small gigs.i use the bb2 with a tecamp puma 900,so 600 watts going into it at 8ohms.plenty loud enough really.great full range cab.i don’t think you’d be disappointed with one.cheers jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both cabs together is really overkill though, but sounds wonderful. I'd rarely need both cabs and besides, either is equally capable alone on a gig. Frank.

I play in rock/indie covers band with 2 guitarists and a drummer who plays an electronic kit I play in a 3 piece, loud, rock/indie covers band and also play through a super twin. I’m really impressed with the sound and volume I was getting, but was also keen to lessen the weight and size. So I bought a BB2 just before Christmas and gigged it on NYE. I can honestly say that it can match the volume I need to keep up with our drummer, I just needed to turn my amp (Mesa d800) up a bit more. Gain and volume at 12 o clock. Nice full low bassy sound. Happy days and will probably sell the super twin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
