I have a 1-12 combo, installed a beamblocker and can;t seem to decide if I like it or not... there are pros and cons...smoother, wider.....less swirl and top end....using a Fang for a speaker at the moment... Anyone in the same boat?

Is the Red Fang broken in? One thing to try is turn up and move around the room- see how it sounds from around the different parts of the room. I found it worst when two things happened- the speaker wasn't broken in and I was too close to the amp. I like the blocker from Radiationdisk the best- it is shinier and less flat in shape so it seems to spread better and attenuate the highs a bit less.

I'll never 'not' use beam blockers. For playing small clubs they are essential. (to me, anyway)
They help keep your stage volume down without killing the people out front.

Anyone in the same boat? I'm in the same boat, fishman. No way I'm putting a beam blocker on my 28. I have two of them, and do use one in a 1x12 with a Brown Note 33w, at least for now (loud azz amp!), the other one is sitting on a table collecting dust. BTW I've tried beam blockers twice within 2 years with a variety of amps and plain don't get them. I also never get complaints from those out in front of my Z28. Not trying to start a debate on beam blocker effectiveness, but I trust my own ears while listening to the 28.

I have one on my MAZ38 and I love it, but, it seems to take some of the balls away from the 28. Without it, the amp has the most swirling highs I can remember hearing....even from Voxes. Odd for a 6V6 amp , but thats how it sounds to me. I like the smoothness and had I never heard the way it is I would not miss it. The fang if not totally broken in has probablly 30hrs on it at least...should be close. I also use a 2-12 avatar BB cab with a Vin30 and a G12H for a total of 3-12's at 4ohms. The 1-12 combo sits on the BB cab . I think I will play it at a couple of gigs and see if I can get a recording, then play a couple without and record that ....decide based on that... The dilema is that it sounds great both ways, but I know what I am missing and of course I want that.... Better just get annother 28 and run it naked...HA!
