Super Compact

If you love the tone in all scenarios but just want a bigger (louder) or smaller alternative 

then the Super Twin and Super Midget are the best choices. If you want something with 

greater treble clarity without going bigger then the Super Midget is the best choice. If you 

want something similar sized with greater treble clarity and/or bigger lows or more accu

-

racy through the whole frequency range then the Big Baby II is the best choice. If you want 

greater accuracy and loudness then the Big Twin II is the answer. 

Super Twin

If you love the tone in all scenarios but just want a smaller alternative then the Super Com

-

pact is the best choice. If you want something with greater treble clarity and smaller then 

the Super Midget and Big Baby II are the obvious choices – the SM is the smallest but the 

BB2 has greater accuracy and bigger lows. If you want something with more treble and/or 

more bass and equally loud then the Big Twin II is the best choice.

Super Midget

If you want something with a similar vibe to this but a bigger and somewhat louder sound 

then the Big Baby II is the obvious choice. If you want something substantially louder then 

the Big Twin II is the best choice. If you tend to run the HF control low or off then the Super 

Compact and Super Twin will do similar jobs to the Big Baby II and Big Twin II respectively.

Big Baby II

If you love the tone but want a louder single cab then the Big Twin II is the answer. If you 

need something louder but don’t need the accuracy of the Big Baby II then the Super Twin 

is the right choice. If you want something even smaller then the Super Midget is the way to 

go.

Big Twin II

If you love the tone but need something smaller then the Big Baby II is the answer, or the 

Super Midget if you need to go super small. If you want something smaller and don’t need 

as much clarity or depth then the Super Compact is the answer. If you don’t need the ex-

tended bass and treble but would like a smaller cab then
