A pro bass player, Brittany Frompovich, plays through two Phil Jones Compact 2 cabs and is very happy. They're not for me. Barefaced rules!

Gig report. I used the new-to-me ONE10 for an outdoor gig. Piano, 2 guitars (ac+el) and my EUB. No drums. After the first song, the singer/piano player complained that my bass was wayyyyy too loud... so I had to lower it significantly. It would be loud enough even with modest drummer...
Yes. This week-end I've re-discovered my One10 after playing mostly with my Super Compact since I've got it. And wow! So loud and great sounding. It was « half outdoor » (in an open barn), with a drummer, and more than loud enough.
Your One10 was elevated almost to the drummer's ear level. I imagine this helped the little beast carry the room (--er, barn) better, albeit with slightly less bass robustness. The gently used One10 I just picked up has a pole mount in the bottom, so it would be easy to use this same trick in any venue.
I picked up a mini speaker stand from pjb a while back, but Gator makes a mini speaker stand as well. Im wondering if I could get away with using a fork adapter to mount both One10's on the same stand cross-fired. ;-)
I play through a One10T and a One10 with the two full rock bands I'm in. No problem. Did I mention Barefaced rules? lol

First rehearsal (finally) w One10TA2. Zoom amp models came through great. By end of 2 hours, hot garage, the back panel was definitely warm/hot to touch, not too hot I couldn't keep my fingers on it. Gain @ 1/2.

Looking for a one10. Just missed one in the classifieds.

by chance anyone thinking of selling a super-mini, no HF, silver cloth? i want to go double mini. i might even consider trading my double one10 stack
I'm in a 4-piece rock band and we don't play coffee houses or low volume background music so this Super Twin T has been working out very well. I've played Ashdown ABM 600, Gallien Krueger 800S Fusion, Mesa D800+, and Genzler Kinetix 800 heads through it and they all sounded quite good but this Bergantino HP Ultra is the best of the lot with this particular cab IME. The HP/LP filters, modern/vintage voicing, tube emulation, drive and nice onboard compressor add some good mojo to the EQ bands, punch, and bright buttons. The large amount of headroom on tap make this sound good at lower volumes as well as when turning it up to match with a hard-hitting drummer. To me, coming from a Gallien-Krueger NeoIV 212, this cab sounds darker than I thought it would, even with the tweeter. All my amps have been sold except the Kinetix and the HP Ultra. The Kinetix is perfect with my DIY 115 but the HP Ultra has more clarity and even more headroom which works really well with the Super Twin T. The GK NeoIV 212 only cost half as much with a real solid punch and great presence, but with it's compact volume and relatively high tuning (Fb measured at 65 Hz with a DATS V3) it didn't have the low end extension I was looking for with my 5-string basses. The Super Twin T is a very different cab. I haven't measured its Fb yet but it is a low end cannon which is marvelous with the ample headroom of the HP Ultra. I have to boost the upper mids and treble to bring out the definition I'm looking for but it's all there and I've received a lot of positive feedback from both bandmates and the audience about how solid the bass tone is. I try to stay in shape, but my lower back isn't up for heavy lifting anymore so I wanted a one-cab solution with enough power (along with FOH when needed) to handle any gig that was also easy to transport. The castors, placement of the 3 handles, and protective cover make this easy to get in and out of my SUV. Quite pleased with this investment.

The UK made Little Bastard I sold several years ago paired with my One10 would have been such a great little rig….
I agree with your summary as well! I feel like this cab really shines with an amp that has a HPF, or at least getting a HPF pedal.
I also had a GK NEO212, and that cab was much more mid forward and tame in the lows. The Super Twin could get intense in the low end if you let it. The Ashdown ABM is one of my favorite amps period, but the low end with the Super Twin was too much, and needed an HPF to make it work in a band setting.
The Super Twin is an engineering marvel as far as I am concerned, with it's output and low end for such a small and easy to move around size.
The baked in HPF in the Aguilar Tone Hammer pairs well with the Super Twin. Keeps the low end in check. I've also noticed that the ST needs some power to open up and show off what it does. I look forward to outdoor summer events!
