Shepster8316 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) I have a Barefaced 2x12" which I always thought was a Super Twin, but now after looking to move it on it could be a Super 12. It's 30" in height, which is kind of the only really measurable difference, so I now think it is a Super 12 (see pics), as the Super Twin is 29". All the other info on the two seems very similar and if anyone has used both I'd be grateful for any differences they in the sound? I'm after some info from the more informed in BC than I am just to confirm. Thanks in advance. Edited August 25, 2021 by Shepster8316 Add extra info.

jrixn1 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 A Super Twin has a different backplate, with a "Super Twin" sticker on it. E.g. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/332586-barefaced-super-twin-gen-3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobVbass Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 looks like a gen1 Super Twelve to me - I used to have 12T, fabulous cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Yep definitely a Super 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The S12 has standard Eminence drivers; the Super Twin has bespoke Eminence drivers based on the same original driver but with tweaks to Barefaced’s requirements.

Lozz196 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I think the Super12 is either more middy/less flat or the Super Twin is more bassy/less flat. Which it is I have no idea, just my impressions after hearing them both (and having had a Super12). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobVbass Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 My s12T was definitely middy - it really sang and had a very colourless response if that's the right word - it felt like you got the true sound of every amp - astronomically loud as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect the S12 to be more “barky”, especially at volume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
