What I found worked for me as a tone was:
15db pad on
comp 11
gain 1:30-2
bass 10-11
mid FULL or just below (clipping starts when this knob is at full when the clip light does not light yet)
mid switch on 1 (250hz)
treble 9:30
Mid dial was just past middle
tweeter dial was in the middle
This was just some sweet full and present bass tone that had everything I wanted. I can't wait to hear it in some context sunday; and the PA there being substantial enough to test out the post DI thing I want to try. At 300w, this thing is as loud as my UL410 was at 500w; and the tone is so much more open feeling but of course lacking the low-mid that a 410 has. My EQ setting added that back; so now I have more clarity and all the same sweet tone. That's about all the notes I can think of after 1 hour with it. The only thing I dislike is that I can hear the 70db noise floor of the Ampeg head now, and its not pleasureful. I can also hear the pre-amp clipping and it does not sound sweet like a tube but rather harsh and abrasive. I have to be very careful now to use the compressor and gain structure to keep the preamp clean- and then I seem to add hiss in by cranking the master. While I knew there was some noise with the UL410, this cabinet is so flat that you can really really hear the hiss more so than ever before. More to follow on this though..
Happy bass player! | Cool, glad you are digging the cab! I built both of the 15/6 crossovers that ended up in Frank's cabs. I believe the tweeter portion may have come from Speakerhardware. Your crossover is famous - it's in the FF article in BGM! |

That's great. I'll have to hear it in context tomorrow, and tuesday, and thursday, and so on and so forth.

He wants me to be happy and will make it right!!! One of the things from a custom build that seems to be the standard with guys not claiming to be doctors.
Don offered me to send it back and then suggested selling it to one of you guys that may have been talking to him about the build of this 1010/6.
I love the sound!!! I couldn't believe the bottom end I got on my P bass! It handles a Low 'B' like a huge PA system and bites like 10" speakers should. The 6" mid speaker does deliver the mids smoothly.
Let me know if you're interested and I could ship it out by tomorrow...

Endorsing Artist: GHS Strings | | Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: 818 ~ 805 ~ L.A. | | I'm having a love/hate relationship with my new cabinet...
I love the quality of sound, craftsmanship, etc.
I hate that I can't carry it in one hand.... 
Am I fooling myself wanting the love in a lighter package? 
I pause and think... maybe go with 2-SL112s...
but I know it will be inferior to the LDS... 
Oh the humanity of it all...

Staff Reviewer; Bass Gear Magazine Moderator | | Join Date: May 2004 Location: Columbia MO | | There are such things as light cabs. AFAIK, Don does not like working with the thinner, lighter plywoods.
I have a 2x8+horn, and a 2x8+5". Both of these are older units, and quite heavy for their size; as is the 4x8+horn I have.
I believe he since found a neo 8 he likes; maybe Faital.
The 12/6/1+12 sub he built me both weigh more than "fF spec'd" ones.
This is fine by me.
There are plenty of folks who will make you lighter, or, even featherweight cabs.

This is the issue. He builds the perfect box in a very durable way for a great price, but 3/4 ply is waaaaay heavier than lightish 1/2" board.
If you want the lightest and deepest, ask Mike Arnopol about a composite fEarful 12/6. For older school, he builds Bassic 15s and 12s. My Bassic 15 (single full-range 15) weighs a hair over 20 lbs. It's not as big sounding down low as a 12/6 or 15/6 though. A Bassic 12 and tweet in composite will be well under 20lbs.
