Re: Whoa... Headrush!
I completely understand what you’re saying, but I have to also say that I have trouble with that concept. I just feel like it’s a terrible waste to have all these different cabs to choose from and to ignore them just because I’m running into a real cab... especially since the real cab isn’t anywhere NEAR as cool as the sims.
That being said, it didn’t take me long to start realizing some drawbacks to the idea of running directly into my amp’s power section. First of all, while I am able to get some really awesome tones, I am finding that I am still fighting the natural tone of my amp (so I graciously admit that I think you are correct). Second is one I didn’t really think of until I was at an audition this past Sunday. They wanted me to run into their board and I realized that I was unable to find a good balance between the volume of my amp and the volume coming out of their system (which was admittedly pretty poor). I ended up going into the front of my amp instead, which sounded like ass since I had set up all my sounds to sound best when bypassing the preamp.
So I decided to break down and order one of the Headrush FRFR-108 powered speakers. The “FRFR“ stands for “full range, flat response,” and it has an 8 inch speaker with a whopping 2000 W of power!
I’m hoping that this thing lives up to the hype and to the ratings it seems to have earned. I really love the idea of my “amp“ being a mere 19 pounds... especially if the sound is more accurate and it’s actually easier to duplicate that sound into the PA.
