Great demo. I have one of the larger Headrush units in my home studio that gets a feed from my mixer, and it works very well. Excellent unit for the price. Your approach with recording "in the room" is perfect. Thanks much.
I have had one for a year now to use with my HX stomp its so versatile I've also used it for acoustic gigs too, nice to see you do a demo of a fantastic product nice video thanks Pete.
I try to watch Pete’s gear reviews, but am invariably so knocked out by what a soulful, ‘tone-y’ player he is that I pretty much forget about the gear… he is an amazing musician
Hey thanks Jim!
Right great player and great demos!
I
That is exactly what I was about to say when I scrolled down to the comments section.
Damn Pete! Always a pleasure to watch and listen to you. What a tone!!
Pete, your playing is just stunningly good and so tasteful, thanks for sharing!
Your playing is just so beautiful! I loved the intro piece.
Always amazed at your guitar skills, & gear info.!!
I've been using one of these little babies for a while now and I love it.. my rig is a bunch of drive pedals going into the C.A.B. M+ with the virtual power amp on.. I'm using your Suhr IRs Pete.. very nice IRs! and then right into the Headrush FRFR108.. like you said sounds great at any volume.. when I finally get the modeler I want (NDQC) I'll get another Headrush and run stereo on stage.. woohoo!
Thanks so much for all the incredible demos, and especially for that Lukather bit in this one; amazing! ☮💜🎶
Pete i just want to compliment your playing. It is always so good. Makes me sit up and take notice every time.
Thanks much, Glenn!!!
@@PeteThorn hey Pete , am trying to figure out if this is right for me. Your opinion will help. Primarily playing at home and low volumes. Need something portable and want to use it with a modeler instead of a bunch of pedals on a pedalboard but don't want to sacrifice the low end and clarity when playing high gain stuff.
I don't know much about these . People are saying an amp modeler going directly into frfr will only sound comparable to a tube amp into a 4x12 cab , if I go modeler into a physical power amp and then into a 4x12 physical guitar cabinet. Is this true?
Pete, you just convinced me to get something I hadn't considered getting before I watched this video. So many things I could use this for... Thanks for the review!
Pete!! Brother the solo you were playing at the beginning of this video is absolutely amazing, tasteful, and beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing gift, and knowledge.
Thank you so much thanks for watching!
Never doubt a creators catalog of videos and how useful they are! I WISH we had this wealth of knowledge growing up!
I bought a Headrush frfr108 AND frfr112 to run my Helix through. In stereo with some tasty effects it sounds like floating through the galaxies :)
I’m tossing up between the two. I think since you generally cut the frequencies under 80hz anyway the 12 done have much advantage and maybe too boomy? When you try them one at a time do you find much difference. I like the size and weight of the smaller one, I’m thinking
@@Glensully hi glen did u find the 108 suits the helix better than the 112? Cheers
@@dazzmetcoll3843 I found it was a bit boxy and rattled. i think i got a dud as it was a return and i got it cheaper. so i returned it and got a ALTO TS310. i didnt want the heavy 12 or the extra bass. i have found the TS310 very good and have had a jam with it already and was good.
Is there enough low end to drop some bass synth bombs and what not? Or sustain deep bass / synth drones?
Sorry for all the questions, just trying to figure out what to pair with boss sy-1000.
@JoeBoomerMusic it has a LOT of bass, but the type of bass isn't all that pleasant. I wish they made an FRFR-110. The FRFR-108 might be good for bass if you add an eq pedal.
THANK YOU for demoing this option with something other than thrash metal. Gives an entirely different perspective and flavor. Sounds phenomenal - and the speaker is pretty impressive too ;-)
You just convinced me to buy them. Thanks for the excellent demo....and playing
I got mine about couple months ago. I was skeptical about FRFR cabinets and preferred all the time used a real cabinet which was my fender deluxe reverb real amplifier. It was all the somehow warm to me. But with this cabinet, i was blown away. It's perfect warm, realistic tone and absolutely lighter than my amplifier as cabinet usage. I have Kemper Toaster Powered version. But this cabinet has its own pre-amp, you could even use that un-powered Kemper or equivalent units without an external pre-amp. This cabinet also has very nice low end. It has perfectly balanced eq. Thanks for the video Pete!
Just got a headrush gigboard and I’m considering one or two of this units. There are many vids reviewing it, but I had to play only one. Because Pete has the credibility!!! Thanks man. Just what I needed.
It's a great little speaker! And you're playing is top shelf as always Pete! :)
wow! amazing sounds , as usual!
I'm running my BOSS GT_1000 through two of those and I can't believe the sound that comes out of those little things. I am in a small room and yeah they react really well at reasonable volume. And, did I mention that they are extremely reasonable price so you can by two and get great stereo effect. Great video as usual from Pete, smooth yet biting when you need to be.
Great demo Pete! I needed to see this! I just purchased a Two Notes Captor X to use with my Friedman Smallbox amp, and I was looking to get studio monitors. This just proved to me that I need to get this speaker!
Just in time! I'm about to make the jump to make my HX Stomp my main rig and have been seriously eyeing these guys with a gift card burning a hole in my pocket. Thanks, Pete!
Great video Pete. Very clever mic setup solution! Really works.
Beautiful playing as always! I plan to get two of these FRFR Cabs for my jam room as an alternative to using my big 4x12 Mesa Cab.
Thanks for mic'ing them up like that. Great sounding powered speakers.
I own one of these and I love it, I bought a Powercab 112 plus and I use them together when I want to do stereo and it holds its own.
If anyone can make anything sound great it's you Pete!
I just received my Fractal FM3 and thinking a couple of the 8”s would be nice. I pack my gear back and forth to work at the laboratory I work at. While my lab tests cook I play. Thanks Pete!
Your a busy man Pete . Thanks as always !
I have a pair of FRFR-108’s connected to my Line6 PodGo running in stereo. Works great for me!
Great demo as always Pete 👍 Those Headrush speakers sound great for sure. ✌
Thanks Pete. This is the best speaker I have ever purchased. I am using it with the Mooer ge150. It is sublime.
Bought two headrush 108’s for the jam space on your recommendation. I do not feel I was steered wrong these speakers are incredible.
The dynamics in your playing is wonderful. Very wide full sound thats not in your face but swirls around you.
Thank you Pete I may just buy this based on your video ! always high quality content!
Loved the camera angles of camera today. I love my headrush whe using IR to front of house.
Beautiful playing Pete! ❤ it!
I have 2 of the FRFR112 Headrush cabs and run my Positive Grid Bias Processor head along with all 3 Bias Pro pedals through 1, with the other as a live backup or wedge monitor if needed, and they are fantastic sounding and reacting like a guitar cab with massive head room and a real guitar cab type thump and am so glad I switched to this all digital rig, amazing combination
You think better than say Yamaha studio monitros for guitar?
I've used a set of these for about a year and a half and I will say they are a great bang for the buck. They have a pretty nice amount of bass for 8" drivers. They were great with my Headrush Gigboard. In your quiet room, though, they do have a little hiss at idle. Just means your not loud enough.
Geeze. Pete makes everything sound great. I loved the sound on the 2nd setting.......
Best gear reviews, thanks!
I just got 2 of these today with my headrush. Dang they sound amazing!
Couldn’t agree more about the Headrush FRFR series monitors. The 112 model is a MONSTER and brings the pant-flap to the modeler/profiler experience. Oh, and they’re dirt cheap! Thanks for the continued inspiration, Pete.
Man the intro melody is sweet!, you're a great guitarist
Nice Pete! I use the Alto version of these, 10", with my Strymon Iridium pedalboard and it works great.
Awesome video Pete. Now I have a good idea of what I'm getting into if I pull the trigger on them since I use a POD Go at home. You rock.
Thanks. This was helpful. I like your gear reviews because you play so well - and they are informed.
Thanks!
I just picked up a pair and so far pretty impressed.
Pete, let me just say, your tone and playing is astounding sir. Really good stuff man. Thank you for your reviews and for sharing, some of the wealth of knowledge you have, with us. Have a wonderful day sir. God bless.
Thank you very much!
I have a 108 and a HX Stomp. Great and light setup!
Such beautiful playing
I'm using it with my Two Notes le lead & Torpedo CAB and it's killer!
Using my old Pod X3 Live as midi controller and for all the delays, reverbs, mods and other fx + digitech Drop and Freqout and all of this is giving me plenty of pleasure and happiness without breaking my back! 😊🎸🎤🤘
Great demo, thanks!!!
Killer demo, Pete!
It was the first Headrush pedal board video that inspired me to buy one. Then I picked up a 12" Headrush frfr. Killer rig. Inspires me to play more because of all the juicy sounds just waiting to be heard. Thanks for these videos. Keep them coming. Much appreciated. 🤘😝🤘🍻
I justed pickup up the Headrush 108, should I be considering the 112 instead ? I would like to use this for small gigs and band practice.
12" is best for guitar imo. Obviously you get a richer tone. Portability is the only factor excluding price.
Solo at beginning just blows my mind!
Great test, thanks a lot Pete 👌👌
I love my Headrush 8 inch version. Very portable and powerful. Works great on guitar with my helix stomp. I actually use it as a vocal monitor as well. Easily keeps up with a loud full band. Amazing value for the money.
I will also say that they will "reveal" how you set up your tones on the Helix. So you will most likely benefit from tweaking the EQ of your presets or IR's. I think you will find dialing back higher frequencies and treble will help things out a bit. Same can be said for adding lows.
Always a pleasure to watch you play 🙂
19 Lbs wow!!!
Glorious tone showcased by epic playing!!!
Thank you sir
The usual, no nonsense review - thanks. Good work.
Great video. Your content is bad ass entertaining!
Love to see a video with a graph of the in-room frequency response with a full-range cab compared to a “regular” cab.
Great playing on this! Very Tasty!
Just what the doctor ordered. I picked up a Pod Go and when I want to run a cab I've been putting into the power amp section of my '94 Evil Twin. I was suspicious of the Headrush stuff because of the small speakers. This helped a lot.
Many thanks from the Bay!
MK
Sublime sound and playing as always...just incredible..👌👍🤘🤘🤘🤘
I go through the 12" version of this . My friend has one and I use it when I rehearse at his place. Seeing as this is aimed directly at guitarists I think the volume controls would be better if they were located on the top for easier access on stage...
real nice Pete, thx man.
3 things you can count on. Taxes, death, and Pete bringing the heat! You rock brother 🤘
Hey Pete, I picked up an Orange Acoustic Pre/DI (the same 2 channel pre you reviewed about a year ago). I actually prefer running my electrics through the orange pre through two FRFR 112 cabs (with channel one jumpered through the effects loop - your review showed me that). You can really appreciate the differences in pickup types - and it’s like hearing guitar in hi-def for the first time.
I used to use a 112 as a monitor wedge with my Axe-Fx II and it was killer!
Great guitar playing!
Beautiful riffs man. Sounds like a great option. Will look into it!
Thank u!
Fine sound, like it so much
PETE YOUR THE ABSOLUTE MOST VERSATILE MUSICIAN IVE EVER HEARD. YOU KEEP COMINING UP WITH SOME AWESOME TUNES. THANX
Hey thanks Bill! Glad you dig what I do
Verry nice job with mics with this FRFR. Greetings 👍
I have 2 of those and a Yamaha analog mixer as my references when making patches for gigs on my helix, pretty spot on, have not had any complains from FOH sound guys, and that’s with no EQ at FOH. It helps dial out a lot of the low end woofs as well as digital high’s... worth the investment, highly recommend it..
Pete that little rig kills!
great great great..............close to getting one or two....marvelous demo........thank you
Great demo, thanks. I'm looking at Barefaced 1600w 2x12 FRFR cab for my bass rig. Started using the GT 1000Core. Has some fantastic bass amp modelling.
I like that!!! Sounds awesome!!!
These look and sound pretty nice. I am using Line 6 PowerCabs with my Line 6 Helix. They have direct outs on them and I can control the cabinets from the Line 6. The Headrush are really nice. Much smaller than the Line 6. I have to check them out. Thanks Pete!
I like the idea of these cabinets.
I have a pair of these Headrush FRFRs, and they are excellent! Small form factor and great sounds.
I am pretty new to playing out, so to speak. Do you mind sharing how you connect from a modeling pedal into two of these? I currently go from my Boss GT1 into one 8 inch Headrush.
That intro was beautiful.
The neck wood and finish on that Suhr!
I am using one of these with a POD GO and it sounds great.
That little nod to Toto :) Gotta love it.
Just got my Head Rush peddle with a FREE FRFR108! Also ordered a second for Stereo.... They sound AMAZING!
No joke sounds good Pete. Literally sounds like one set up I have with my headrush frfr108 with firehawk fx pedal.....
I always say Pete could plug into an old toaster and have an amazing tone ! This thing sounds great too !
Damn I love your playing.
I use 2 of these with my Helix rack, about 10 months now. I won’t be going back to tube amps. Great for home playing and recording.
Great Demo Pete
Im looking into getting this for my acoustic rig.
I was originally looking at a Bose S1 but this is half the price
I use an AER Compact 60 with a Fishman SA330X, but I have mainly been using the AER amp by self since most of the gigs I play are wedding sessions (I use the Fishman for my own gigs).
Super ideal for sound, size and weight.
Great! Ive been using FRFR + pedalboard/modelers/ for a long time. Today I am using the Torpedo CAB M with a Yamaha DRX10... it is great!
Any other Yamaha speakers you would recommend beside the DRX10?
Man that red Suhr is beautiful man.
Hey Pete, love the channel! Thanks for all the info! I have a Seymour Duncan Powerstage 200 and was wondering if this Headrush FRFR would work with that…or do I need something passive?
There are many articles out there about the advantage of using a little monitor when going direct. The monitor helps the low end thump of the guitar through the acoustic coupling of the monitor and guitar. And, like Pete says, it makes it possible to get feedback on the guitar, which can be important.
Yeah the feedback can actually be controlled due to the more directional nature of FRFRs. So can lean into it more or less as needed. Actually pretty great solution.
Sounds great! Some 8string stuff over here🤘
