Hi all,
When using a modeling amp like an Axe FX or Kemper, is it better to use FRFR speakers or guitar cabs? There seem to be conflicting opinions on this.
I thought FRFRs were more like stereo speakers. I thought perhaps nuances in the impulse responses in the modelers would come through an FRFR better. A guitar cab has a different frequency response and so using impulse responses through a traditional cab would seem to be like layering cabinet sounds and thus not very good.
That said some people seem to feel FRFRs are better used as monitors.
When I'm thinking of gigging with them, I'm mainly thinking playing as you would through a traditional half/full stack, no mic because you're loud enough, or a mic'ed half/full stack amplified by sound reinforcement for larger venues.
Thanks.
