Why is a single 2x10 all of a sudden working (for me) as a stand alone cab?

You got it. It might even have a HPF on the woofy lowest bit.

 

Different EQ?

 

Setting different amps at the same number, or O'Clock setting on the EQ is no guarantee that the EQ is the same between amps.
The numbers on controls mean squat.

 

A buddy of mine has been playing big gigs with a single Schroeder 210 for years. Bar gigs, festivals, everything. He gets a lot of mid-rangey bite onstage which helps him hear it. It also helps when the sound man is all about the woofy mud likes lots of sound men.

 

HPFs are also known as low cut or rumble filters. Prolly could add boom cut or mud cut to the list.

Check out the mega thread, first post and the later ones where I'm highlighting success stories from around TB.

My Broughton always-on adjustable HPF really does clear up my tone, protect the speakers and make it easier to cut through!

Being in a tiny pedal format and variable means you can use it with any rig. Hey, put one on your guit players rig and set it around 120hz. Clean up his tone and keep him out of the low end. (like that will ever happen, lol)

Happy HPFing!

 

Here you go:

Maybe there is something wrong with me.
But I find the notion of using a HPF ridiculous.
Every bass player or sound guy should know how to use an eq or turn down the lows.

@agedhorse said:
There are 2 important reasons for using a proper HPF.

The first, to prevent damage to speakers from high powered amps sending frequencies below the cabinet's capabilities (where power handling falls very quickly).

The second, to roll off low frequencies for tonal or clarity reasons.

Both of these applications use a totally different kind of filters than simple tone controls and eq, in fact, the slopes and Q's are generally MUCH higher.​

 

The Broughton always-on is pretty small: 3.64" wide x 1.75" long x 1.06" tall

It's the one I picked up.

 

Broughton links don't work for me. I get the page without any info.

• Always On High Pass Filter

A standard Broughton high pass filter with the bypass switch removed. This design allows a more compact layout, fitting on a single pedal board rail, or even mountable underneath a pedal board.

The high pass filter is a 12 dB per octave low frequency filter. The knob controls the cutoff frequency and ranges from 25 Hz to 190 Hz. It has the same frequency points as the switched version, but it does not have the frequencies printed around the knob.

The input impedance is 1MΩ, and the output impedance is 100Ω.

The High Pass Filter requires a DC power supply (not included). The DC supply should be a standard Boss style connector, center negative polarity. It can accept 9 to 24 volts. Higher voltages will provide more clean headroom. The current draw is approximately 10 mA.

Dimensions: 3.64" wide x 1.75" long x 1.06" tall

I think if you have an ad blocker, sometimes it doesn't work.
