FRFR recommendations for Metal /High Gain

Quad Cortex
1

Hey everyone,

I’m searching for a cab specially for high - gain - metal sounds but also for clear parts.

I’ve tested a lot the last years with other digital amps. So I had the Laney LFR 12 with my helix but I always found that it sounds muddy and dull with most of Presets. Also had for a long time the Headrush 12 for small gigs but this one I found to harsh and I had to cut the highs a lot.

As I used the Kemper I played it together with the Kemper cab and the results was good.

But now on quad cortex I need a new active cab and tired about testing testing so I need your help.

The frfr is mainly as monitor for recording (together with my studio monitors) and also maybe for small gigs as stage monitor)

I read a lot about the Fender and the Tonex, both have good and bad reviews. On YouTube videos the same. Sometimes they sound brilliant and in the next video they sound like crap.

I’m located in Germany so I need a model to buy there.

Thanks for your help!

I‘m in Germany, too.
I highly recommend the fender fr solution with the board from archangel electronics (on reverb)
Fella great , sounds great and is silent and has a better eq, if you install the board

Honestly, I think the Laney FRFR knocked it out the park. Have you played with the HPF knob on the back? Try setting the volume to 12’o clock and the HPF to 9’o clock.

If you still have the Laney FRFR that is.

Never heard of archangel electronics etc. Just searched reverb and there was only one used listing. Any idea if they still make them etc?
