Barefaced Activier 200W amp module for AVD cabs

[jellodog]

Barefaced have just introduced an active guitar amp module that can be fitted to any of their passive AVD cabs.

Looks interesting!

I have owned a passive AVD cab and it was fantastic.

Activier - 200W amp module for AVD cabs and One10(T)

NEW! The Activier has proven to be so potent and cool-running that we can now fit it to our One10 or One10T bass cabs. It requires a unique enclosure so as with the guitar cabs, it can't be retrofitted. If you're confused by the extra toggle switches you may have seen on some Activiers out in...

I fully expect these are just ICEPower modules.

I fully expect these are just ICEPower modules.

$500 for an ice module in a package perfectly fitted to a cab seems worth the asking price.

I fully expect these are just ICEPower modules.

In the linked video, it is claimed that the amp has a lot of headroom; but if you do choose to overdrive the module it will break up in a pleasing manner and not in a harsh "digital" way.

To me, such a statement suggests that it's not an ICEpower module.

Has anyone tried one of these yet? I’m very tempted to get a 212 upright with greenbacks, a custom Vox grill and stereo, and make it the ultimate AC30 model cab.

I need someone to buy the FRFR version with the power amp, and tell me if it's worth it or not.

I need someone to buy the "FRFR" version with the power amp, and tell me if it's worth it or not.

Ask here, he seems pleased. :)

Does anyone have any experience with or thoughts on this company? They've just released an amp module for all their cabinets (they offer solutions in the FRFR space), and their YouTube videos have always made consider them as a contender: https://barefacedaudio.com/
