This is my first post and would like to say Hi to everyone.
Quick Intro: Although I am not new to modelling (I have owned a PODX3 for years), I am fairly new to the world of FRFR. Now that I am considering buying a KPA and wanting to take full advantage of the modelling, I have dug into researching about all the FRFR technologies and have read tons of topics that have made me wondering some things.
I have learned that current FRFR CAB manufacturers have also some either Passive or Active (DSP) GRFR options. i.e. Camper 112 and 212 (bypassing the tweeter), Gemini 2 (DSP), Matrix 112 (DSP), etc.
I totally understand the concept of Full Range vs Guitar Range as well as the Flat Response part which I believe is the most important part of the equation as far as I understand.
What I am trying to understand is the following:
1. If modellers/profilers mainly look to, well, model/profile Guitar Amps and Cabs which use Non Flat Guitar Range Speakers, why do we really need the extra range available on FRFR Cabs?
The Flat response part is a given so lets ignore that as well as other applications like playing music or other non guitar instruments.
2. On FRFR I have read that the high frequencies make stuffs sound non optimal specially for High Gain sounds.
Where does this high frequencies come from if the profiled sound did not have it? and why do we want to keep using FRFR if that is an issue?
3. Although not optimal, the experiment on the link below seem very interesting to me and supposedly Fractal can do it without extra EQ gear.Can the KPA flatten the Freq Response of a profiled CAB?
Answers to this question would give me a better understanding that would allow me to make a better decision when buying my gear.
