Or putting less information through it. Depends how low the tweeter goes, right?
Looks like:
Fully counterclockwise (which is around 11 o clock) is the most tweeter, fully clockwise (which is around 8 o clock) is less tweeter. 3 o'clock (or what is pictured here) is halfway.
I thought about a Super Midget for my second cab because I love the tweeter control concept. Then naahh.
Give me the beef! Doubled down on SC's.
If for some reason I need to hear myself better:
But with the TH700 pushing these two grunts, hearing bass on stage should not be a problem.

Recorded bass today for an upcoming album, very pleased with the results. Highly recommend the Crown if you're using pedals for toneshaping.
My One10 has now arrived 
although sustained a bit of superficial damage in transport 
Now have a Supertwin for the main gigs and One10 for home use and quiet rehearsals.
The first thing that strikes me is this thing is tiny! But i can see why Alex says its comparable to a good 15" cab, as it has authoritative lows and volume for such a small cab.
It's tone reposnse is actually much flatter than i was expecting, definately warmer than the 12's but not radically different (at least to my ears). Maybe i need to push it more to see the difference?
Playing recorded music and vocals through it, with some minor eq'ing doesn't sound too bad...certainly no worse than many of the rubbishy vocal monitors i get given at most venues. I'm thinking this could double as a vocal monitor in a pinch ...i'm guessing one of the full range tweetered cabs would do this better, but this is good enough for me.
What's the verdict on positioning with these? Much difference in the Port against the floor or outwards? Do you get more florr coupling if its pointed down?
Also, did someone mention shoving some cloth in the hole to seal it up? Is that ok for the cab? What effect does it have?

I always positioned mine port down when on a flat, solid surface (wood, tile, concrete, etc). It always sounded much better that way. But with a carpeted surface, side positioning seemed to work better.
I usually have mine on the side. It often sits on a gramma pad, atop an adjustable mixer stand. When using the stand, I usually have the cab somewhere between waist and bicep height, depending on the situation. Sounds good 
It's been a while since I've posted here (busy year), but I thought I would check in to say I've been doing a bunch of gigs with my Super Compact powered by a Mesa D800 this year and continue to be amazed at what that combination can pull off. I never thought in a million years I would be satisfied with gigging a single 1x12" cab, but here we are. Admittedly, I elevate it on an amp stand about two feet off the ground, but even with a band that's up to ten pieces including a horn section, it covers the gig. I bought two Super Compacts, but I've only used both together on a gig once and it wasn't really necessary. I'll probably bring both out to my next outdoor gig for kicks, though.
I also have 2 SCs. I've found that I only need them together for outdoor gigs. They do sound wonderful together when I practice (indoors), but so far I've had no need to transport them both to a indoor venue.
I have the exact same setup, but due to some recent life changes, I haven't had the chance to gig with it yet. I'm in the process of looking for a band to join, so I hope I get to test it soon. I know it's going to sound killer.
I'm sure this has probably been answered somewhere but I cant find the post... Has anyone gigged a Supercompact + One10 stack? Liked it or hated it? I've read that Barefaced dont recommend mixing their 10 and 12 " drivers but someone must have tried it out anyway?

The problem with that is that the One10 is not nearly as loud as the SuperCompact, and it can't handle the same amount of power or low end. So the One10 would struggle or blow up trying to keep up with the SuperCompact.
I just did a gig with this pairing. I've had both cabs for a couple of years now but never stacked them. I usually will not mix drivers but this was a big backyard party and wanted to experiment. Verdict: pleasantly surprised. Nice punch, more flavorful tone (BF 12 drivers are so hifi) can't wait to try it again.I'm sure this has probably been answered somewhere but I cant find the post...

I paired my One10 and Super Midget and really liked it. Best of both worlds mixed together - sounded great to me.
Lately into the small rig, one-tripper. Super Midget, powered by a Trace Elliot ELF. Does a surprising amount.

Same but with Quilter BB800. Lots of power and still some headroom.
