Matrix FRFR users?

While not the single speaker option, I had a FR212 that I used with the Kemper and it was amazing. It pushed air amazingly and felt like I had a 2x12 behind me.

When I can be bothered to join a band again I'll be buying another one.

I tried the Q12, the CLR, cabs etc but for me, the FR212 was by far the best option. I'd definitely be interested in the FR12 if it follows the same philosophy.

Hope this helps.

People do hype the CLR but I didn't like it. It felt sterile to me. Plus, I had to threaten the company with the police after they ignored me for days after I returned it and just wouldn't reply and give me my refund. I will never buy a product from Atomic ever again.

The FR212 is what I'd get. It definitely feels like a cab. You get that oomph behind you, and it has the clarity you want from FRFR. Also, they do a Kemper version (which was in part because I contacted them and wanted one that had the correct OHMs)

I'd take a punt on the FR12 if the 2x12 is too big. Otherwise I'd definitely go for the 212.

Nice! Let me know how it is!

Matrix are great for customer service too. They really go the extra mile. And I believe you can get a refund from them so the return postage should be worth a try at least.

I JUST made the switch to an FR212 from a Celestian Vintage 30 (Cab sim off of course) packed Guitar Cab last week and it was a remarkable change. The clarity and Cut is so much more defined now while still pushing plenty of air so I can feel it behind me. My fist band rehearsal is tomorrow. Can't wait to hear it within a band context!

Nice! It's so much better than a normal speaker isn't it. If you want to be able to use all the cabinet sounds and have the feeling of a cab and don't mind the size it's the best option.

Did you get the Kemper specific one?

Great to hear. I'm about 3 weeks out on a Xitone FR212 to replace a Marshall 412 with Jimi Greenbacks.

You sure it's not just you getting used to FRFR? Have you spent much time in a studio with guitars coming through monitors, listening through FRFR speakers?

I noticed a similar thing too when I first got it, but recorded tones do leave more of a trail of the kind you mention, and on FRFR it's definitely more obvious. I had the same issue but it's quite normal and you will get used to it. The frequencies you're used to with monitors or a traditional cabinet are much clearer and pronounced now.

Can you record it and upload it?

Oh yea that sounds broken. The guitar tone sounds great otherwise though! They'll just swap it out for you.

Just to make sure, have you tried with other guitars, leads etc?

Yea I know him. He was great when I had an issue and they developed the Kemper FR212 because of the issue I had.

I used to investigate matrix FR10 & FR12 a year ago and I'm glad I did not purchase it. these have many bad reviews

Not from what I've seen. Do you have any sources?

All I've seen from popular forums and websites is how people really like the product.

mostly seen when going through forums, I remember beeing suprised as people use to praise the gear they own. myself I can't tell but I'm doubtful
