I so badly want to get a two10st cab to go with my two10s. I have to sell my Berg cabs and that's what I'm wrestling with along with spending extra money for a new grill for my two10s to match. I'm warming up to the idea of them not matching.That was the only way I found it too, until now - FYI I just saw that on the barefacedaudio.com pages for each cab, there is now a link right at the bottom that says:
"Complementary products - [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]"
That's great; should make it easier for "casual" customers to know that this is an option for these cabs.
(On the other hand, I received a Two10ST myself literally just 2 days ago, and I kind of felt like I was in the secret "tweeter club" because I managed to find it through the search function. But I guess the secret's out now- ha)

Any opinions on the Super Mini as a guitar cab? Combined with a DSM Humboldt Simplifier and a suitable bass amp.
Looking for suggestions on a cab to pair with my Genzler Magellan 350. I've narrowed the choices down to the Genzler Bass Array 10 and the Barefaced One10T or the Super Compact with a 12, no tweeter. Also considering the Nu Classic 12. So many choices! Looking for opinions from anyone who've used any of these combinations. Open to other suggestions too. I would be using the amp/cab in my studio for practicing and recording. I'm not gigging currently. Thnx
I've owned the One10 and own the SC. Out of those two choices, the One10 would be my call on a wattage and form factor basis. I have no experience with the Genzler cabinet, though I am certain it would be a quality choice. You would have to also determine whether you prefer the coloration of the 10s vs. the transparency of the Barefaced 12s. You really can't go wrong with any of your short list selections.
I gigged on the weekend with an Aguilar TH500 and a Super Compact. It was a great sound and filled the room.
I'm sure your MG350 would sound great through one of these.
@alexclaber You are making an amp? You sly dog. Any specs yet? Mock-up?
I must say, marrying a Genzler MG800 with your BBIII cabs is pure magic. This rig filled and carried a very difficult room last night and the bass could not have sounded any better. FOH for the sub punch and a touch of fullness only.
Local players: Woodstock Station (Inn/Brewery) in Woodstock, NH…the low end acoustics have haunted every bassist since time began but this rig slayed that dragon with ease. BTW, I was 3' in front of the rig and the air being pushed by the side ports was actually moving my jacket.
And for those unfortunate souls that have E.D., this will cure it within the first four bars of any tune!!!

@alexclaber A gent out of NH USA named Jimmy H. may be emailing you with a couple of Qs. Good people. ✌
I used to own a pair of Array 10s......I sold them due to weak (for my taste) bass content below about 80 Hz at "rock drummer" volume. The One10 is a better option for my taste, and if you want some sparkle up top, definitely a One10T (I now have a BF 110/110T stack). The SC/ BB3 will go significantly lower and deeper with a more flat/neutral response (less inherent low mid bump), but the MG 350 won't come close to pushing either of those cabs to its' volume potential. In terms of volume, those cabs are better compared to a pair of the BF 10" drivers. What will work best for you depends on how flat a response you want, how important low weight/small footprint are to you, how loud you want to be able to get and how many rubles you are willing to part with. Based on my memory, a single One10 will get louder than an Array 10 with your head. If one Array 10 would be loud enough for you, one One10T will surely be enough, and you can always add a One10 if you like.
Unfortunately for me, the quality of the Barefaced cabs is so superb, I will be pre-ordering a bass amp from Barefaced once it is offered. I can't imagine a better pairing than a cab and an amp both from Barefaced. I only hope the price is at a place that my wife doesn't scream at me for ordering something I really don't need.
I can't imagine with their current lead times they have much bandwidth to start building amplifiers. I'd love to see what they come up with though for sure.
Slid right on by that 12 week lead time. Hoping and praying to receive some shipping info this week. Current cab, which belongs to my drummer, is falling apart more and more every time we play. My B string, tuned to A, sounds like Hot garbage.
I waited longer than 12 weeks too. I know they had some supply chain issues (as many manufacturers are). Not their fault. But it's totally worth the wait.
Patience is a virtue. Their cabs are well worth the extra time. I would rather have a cab made with attention to detail and quality than with attention to a deadline and cost. Plus, blame me and all the other posters raving about their cabs, I am sure Alex and the crew are slammed with ever-growing interest and orders. ✌
My build time was late also (none of it within Barefaced's control), but once they were done they arrived very quickly (DHL International if UK to USA). I chose to inquire only once about the delay as I knew replying to each email takes away from fabrication/construction/assembly.

Yeah I'm not faulting them. They make great products and there is a high amount of demand and one of the cabs I ordered had to be designed as well. If I had a proper functioning cab I wouldn't even give it a second thought. Unfortunately the only cab available to me currently likely has at least a couple blown speakers.
I have been using my BT2 for a few years now with a Jule Monique pre and Demeter Minnie 800 Power amp. This has more volume than I will ever need and I love the tone. I can get some lovely vintage goodness.
The short video is filmed on a basic iPhone from an outdoor gig. Using Sadowsky HPJ (P pickup only, in passive mode) with a pick - I am normally a fingers guy but this song needs the punch of a pick. Song is Going Down (Freddie King).

Not quite. I had an 800 watt amp and Berg CN212 and AE112 cabs. I replaced the 312 Berg with 2 Super Compacts (a modular Super Twin) and found I had to turn the amp down to get the same volume.
Barefaced cabs are going to give you more of everything. The lows and mids are huge, and the improved clarity and dispersion means that everyone in the room will hear you better, especially on stage. Also, you'd better have a good amp, because these cabs will put out what you put in, so any shortcomings in the amp could become noticeable.
IMO BF cabs are in another league.
