The FR is no joke. Sounds great with my FM3 and Axe III. As well as my Stealth 50 headphone out into FAS fx into it. Best FRFR experience I've had by a long shot. Kickstands are killer feature as well.
Thank you for the demo! I'd love to hear an audio comparison video with the Fender frfr and the Friedman frfr. I love how the Friedman sounds on your other demo videos. It's just too heavy for me. Which do you think sounds best? Thanks!
I dont have a huge problem with amp profiles, but I do have an issue with people trying to pass off Chibsons as real. Sounding like something doesnt feel like a counterfeit to me, but physically impersonating something does. Its weird.
I totally agree with you regarding line 6. They will come not out with a new helix, but that doesnt mean they wont come out with some sort of new unit. If they dont come out with something that does profiles/captures they will get left behind. They only way they will catch up to fractal is if they make a new unit with more dsp. That means a new unit as well. But the Quad Cortex sounds much better and that is because of the captures. I had all 3 of those units and I find the QC superior because of the capturing.
25:02 it is definitely smart for brands to make digital offerings of their amps, like what Soldano and Mesa did with Neural, they’re just widening their client base.
What about Soldano, Friedman, Fryette, etc. basically making/licensing modules for the Synergy amp? Wouldn't that be in the vein of making captures, etc? 🤔 And to the gentleman in Europe's gripe about the price of the JP IIC vs a Marshall. The Mesa costs more there because of shipping, taxes, and fees, etc. It's the same for us here in the US when it comes to the price of a Marshall. Much RESPECT! 🤘✌️
Both options are really good. that said, the Fender FRFR cab is definitely going to be more affordable. if you're going to use a real cab and power amp, I suggest the KSR PA50 all tube power amp for that. it sounds awesome. most of the solid state power amps people use with their real cabs sound very anemic and thin. When I performed onstage, I always used in-ear monitors so I didn't need a cab on stage with me. in my opinion, that's really the best way to go. If I wasn't using in-ear monitors and I needed to make a decision today on what I was going to use between the 2 options you mentioned, I would go with the Fender FRFR. it sounds great, it's lightweight, and it's less gear to purchase, maintain and drag around. I hope this helps
Have you tried the fr-10? As a bedroom player it's slightly smaller and a little lighter and maybe a tad less bass. I'd like to know if it sounds as good.
I think the Hx stomp XL is the perfect form factor and outstanding tones for any no frills guitar rock n roller. Theres just no need to buy these high end modellers that can do all this crazy stuff when the average joe uses about 20 percent of its ability. People saying the difference in tone between axe FX helix kemper quad cortex etc is night and day are fooling themselves. Is there a difference?...yes. Is a couple grand difference?....no. Are the sounds hugely different?...no.
The Line6 dude said one of two possibilities: either the modeling technology has topped-out, OR... they are absolutely coming out with something new in 2024. Yes, the Fender FRFR12 is very good. Yes, the Mud Killer sounded great with the LYNX! Yes, Circus Maximus is a killer prog band. My album recommendation for YOU: Check out LEMUR VOICE "Divided". Killer prog metal. Marcel Coenen on guitar. Marcel is a wizard.
@@TONEWARSgearshow Lemur Voice is from the Netherlands. That album came out in 1999. Some songs are slow and melodic, other songs are groovy and proggy. I used to listen to a lot of obscure stuff back then. Music from different countries around the world.
Hey Jared! Do you have some general tips for capturing with ToneX? You said that you had a learning curve with capturing in a Video some time ago. If I remember right you said for example that the signal chain should be as short as possible. Do you have more tips? To this point I did hundreds of captures myself. Solely direct captures with a high quality loadbox (St. Rock React:IR). Some of them sound great, others don’t.
What I think! Line 6 amp cloner pedal with software and firmware update for Helix . We will add the clones like we do with IR's My speculation of this year 😉
@@TONEWARSgearshow The amp modelling is the same, but they updated the cloning to minimize the latency and better quality cloning. TBH I didn't like the amp modelling in the QC either. I purchased the HR, mainly for the cloning. Your clones are really good, so I could use some killer high gain tones to load in my HR
The feel was really good. when I switched back and forth between the cab and my monitors they sounded slightly different but they both sounded equally good if that makes sense. This is the first time I switched between studio monitors and an FRFR cab and liked both of them
i have a couple of HEADRUSH 8' speakers that i use for a stereo low volume practice setup that i got on sale ,great for what I'm using them for, probably wouldn't sound great cranked. would love a pair of the Fender FRFR if the wallet would allow,i have heard great things!
Without having them side by side, it's hard for me to give a definitive answer but all I can tell you is I immediately recognized real guitar sound when I plugged into this unit. that's the first time that's ever happened
When L6 came out with some new Helix limited colors a few months ago I knew there would be no new Helix for atleast another year. I would just like their amp modeling to get retooled to have some feel and not be so weird when you do palm muted on the low E. The unit form factor itself I still think is the best made. If they would just add profiling to it in the software I’d buy another one the next day.
@@schlagdog I really hope they come up with a new unit very soon. that's the problem with the digital world, everything's obsolete in no time. it's probably hard for these companies to keep up with the ever-changing world of digital platforms
I heard you said you were going to do a tonex of the astro! Awesome..I'm still waiting to get my Astro but I can't wait so I want the pack! Can you also make lower gain captures also so I can use a boost for more ghlassy fusion tones? Thanks! Also tonex captures of the Jake E Lee Friedman (JEL)
Congratulations on the astro, I know you're going to love that amplifier. yes I will happily do all of the different gain structures for you guys on those captures. I will capture the blue, purple and red Galaxies on the amplifier so you have a bunch of different gain settings to choose from
Helix has alot they can do to improve with the hardware they got. They can come out with a profiler or something. I dont give a damn about profiling. You cant tweak the sound and i usually cant stand other peoples amp settings. You got to add low gain to helix sound. Once you do that it sounds as good as axe fx 2. They got some work before it matches axe3..and i believe they can do it with the current hardware I say all that but id buy your mezzbarba profile im sure
There's no way that Line 6 would come out and say were coming out with a new floor modeler in '24-'25 and watch what little sales they have on the Helix dry up to nothing with people holding off on the new unit. I doubt that they are selling many Helix floors at this time anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if something was announced sometime this year.
Hmm I have a Tone X, and HX effects... you know what I'm thinking! I've been curious about this FRFR cab, and if you say it's legit, then that's all the excuse I need, lol. I want an option to play without always using the Big amps or being tethered to my computer rig.
After lots of soul searching, I've come to the same conclusion Line 6 has. A new Helix is not needed. For profiles, Tonex is the only Ethical Company Left. Kemper has gone bat crap cra cra and Neural is full of convicts and didly no-do's. Fractal is too busy sueing everyone so they are no longer a factor. If people want to pay nearly 5k for an amp that has less features than my counter top skillet and sounds roughly the same; then they should do that. I suspect most of those people will put it on a shelf and wax poetic about the "handmade components that were sourced from Parts unknown" all while they drink Bud Light and also wax poetic about how bad the orange man really is.
Kemper will add paid upgrade. In my opinion, this will be their downfall. Quad Cortex, good product but awfull company and doesn't deliver their promise. Line 6, the only downside are the amp, because the effect and unit is on point.
Driftwood has a digital amp version of their Purple Nightmare and sell their own Kemper captures on their website, so if the companies are ok with it, why should someone else care? I mean, you do you, whomever you are.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the profiles are not as versatile as the real amp. You can only adjust the profile so much. Maybe I’m wrong. Brent
As far as Helix 2 is concened, its all semantics. Certainly theyre working on the Next Generation FlagShip modeler. It simply wont be part of the Helix family. Itll be something entirely new, much like the Helix was to thr HD500 series. IIRC, Helix dropped not too terribly long after the 500X. I think to get less veiled comments out of Erik Klein, forumites shouldnt refer to Helix 2 or "the next Helix". Despite people MEANING the exact same thing, it wont be called Helix X or 2, or HX next or whatever. If people agreed to call it the Next Generation FlagShip, or NGFS, or the next primary L6 modeler, or the Line 6 Bunghole; youd get differing legaleze answers. L6 is notoriously tight lipped about their upcoming products, as well they should be. Patience folks. The NGFS is coming. Maybe not this year, but its coming.
Thanks for commenting. I totally agree with all of your points here. I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed and hopefully they will release a new modeler/profiler very soon. I know it will be amazing when they do it.
One size definitely does not fit all. There has to be agreement on the need for FRFR. Tiny clubs, w/o much if any reinforcement, fine. Bigger clubs with PA and Monitors (yours or house) Unnecessary. Anything above this, absolutely unnecessary. Playing in your bedroom, as 99% of the internet does, all bets are off.
And u are SPOT ON ABOUT SLASH. HE IS ABOUT THE MOST MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AVERAGE LES PAUL TYPICAL PLAYER U WOULD SEE AT ANY BAR OR STATE FAIR. never have understood the fascination with this guy. Must be the hat lol😂😂😂
Thanks for commenting. it's funny, some people got really mad at me for what I said about him. I can go in any bar on any Friday or Saturday night and hear somebody that's just as good as him. The same definitely could not be said regarding John Petrucci though.
I don't understand why people bring the artists into the gear. I understand their name is on it. But for me, take the name off of it and compare amp to amp or guitar to guitar. I own a Jason richardson and a JP. I prefer the Richardson. Not because of the name, because I like how it feels, it fits me better. I played both of those guitars before buying them. I didn't even know Richardson had a signature guitar. I picked them both up because they looked cool, and when I played, I liked how they felt and sounded. So, to me, take the name off and compare it.
Good points here. it's always good to jusee if the gear suits your tastes the best no matter whose name is on it. at the end of the day, you're the one paying for it and using it. I'm glad you found the right guitar for you.
No, I never delete any comments. sometimes TH-cam automatically holds them for review for some reason. I will look into that. go ahead and post those comments again in reply to my comment and I'll see if I can see them.
@@TONEWARSgearshowthanks, so: your video came exactly day after i pulled the trigger and ordered the fr-12 for my kemper.after seeing your reaction i'm really glad i did because i wasn't sure how its going to work out with high gain profiles. so thanks for that! the second thing,just wanted to say that me, as a big fan of john petrucci and dream theater, a prog metal player my self, i disagree with what you said about slash.you right as far as his technique and being pretty simple with no particular complex playing. but,and a big but.as a guitar solo composer he is second to none,there are not many guitar players in the world that have so many iconic memorable solos like slash,i mean you can sing each one of his solos as it was a great song for itself+he has a great feel.
@@jimlansa7098 Thanks for commenting. I'm glad you are digging the FR12. it's a great unit. Regarding the whole Slash vs John Petrucci thing, We all have different tastes and like different things and that's perfectly fine. On a technical level, JP is far more superior than Slash. Honestly, John has also written a lot of memorable and very melodic solos. The solo for Barstool Warrior is absolutely amazing along with many others such as Lines In The Sand, The Best Of Times, The Spirit Carries Cn etc.. You should watch him play that solo live on the "Score" DVD. it was amazing. All that said, they both have their place in the industry and I think they both have added things to it but in my humble opinion, JP is the superior guitar player. Just my opinions. Cheers 😄
2 comments on this one lol the ethics of all this? Your normal 15 yo kid cant afford a Diezel or Mesa, Revv etc. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't get access to great tones. Plus, when they get further along in life what do you thhink they'll be looking at? That same kid will likely buy amp X because of their experience with the capture. Plus like we've said many times i dont want to drag 7k worth of my favorite gear to a shitty bar.
I definitely have to disagree with you about Slash. Appetite and Illusions, hands down Slash has written more iconic (better) solos than JP. What about November Rain? ‘Give into me’, the solo he did with Michael Jackson!!! Slash has done more for guitar than JP could imagine and I’m sure JP would actually agree with me. If I created a top 10 list of best solos ever written, Slash would definitely be in there twice. JP wouldn’t even make the list. And I’m positive the majority of experienced players would agree. Choose your words wisely, I’m considering unsubscribing for disrespecting Slash. Go listen to the Illusion solos
Thanks for sharing your opinions here. that's what this channel is all about. Hopefully you don't unsubscribe over something like this but if you do, all the best to you. With respect, John Petrucci has the number one selling signature guitar in the history of signature guitars. I think that solidifies his position in the guitar community. Dream Theater is definitely not as popular as Guns & Roses because they're not a mainstream band. there are prog and their songs are 10 to 15 minutes long on average. That said, on a technical level, JP could easily mop the floor with Slash any day. I'm not being disrespectful by saying that, is just facts. Go look at the solo for "under a glass moon" That will some things up easily. I kind of feel like we're arguing over Superman VS Shazam LOL. I hope this is all in good fun. have a great night
@@TONEWARSgearshow I retract my comment as you were just being honest and I can’t hold that against you. It’s refreshing actually. Love the channel brother

I'm actually shocked at how good that FRFR sounds. I didn't think I'd be able to tell AT ALL & I totally can. It must sound HUGE in the room too! \m/
Thanks for commenting. yes, in the room it sounds amazing. the video I did , did not do it Justice at all.
It’s ridiculously good. Blows my powercab out of the water. Not even close. Used in rehearsal yesterday. Best tone I’ve gotten with my GT1000.

Great video! The Friedmans just kill in these profiles, very nice!
Thank you!!
I like your Red Seven profile so much that I would love to own the actual amp.
What about Soldano, Friedman, Fryette, etc. basically making/licensing modules for the Synergy amp? Wouldn't that be in the vein of making captures, etc? 🤔
And to the gentleman in Europe's gripe about the price of the JP IIC vs a Marshall. The Mesa costs more there because of shipping, taxes, and fees, etc. It's the same for us here in the US when it comes to the price of a Marshall.

The fender fr , To play at Home with a modeler (QC, helix, etc), is it too loud? or with low volume you can have a good tone?
Great video! What do you think is the best option for stage sound with the Quad Cortex?
Power Amp & Guitar Cabinet, or Fender FRFR Cab?
Thanks!
Both options are really good. that said, the Fender FRFR cab is definitely going to be more affordable. if you're going to use a real cab and power amp, I suggest the KSR PA50 all tube power amp for that. it sounds awesome. most of the solid state power amps people use with their real cabs sound very anemic and thin.
When I performed onstage, I always used in-ear monitors so I didn't need a cab on stage with me. in my opinion, that's really the best way to go.

💯 Tone-X just did that with the Mesa captures
My video on that will be up on Friday
Do you think the Fender FR-12 could support easily drop A tuning?
I haven't tried that tuning on it but I don't see why it wouldn't support that.
@@TONEWARSgearshow because in the FR-12 specs, it says 70hz, and a drop A should be 55hz. Maybe the cab can handle it or sounded a little boomy.
Great videos man, a question, between Fender Fr12 vs Xitone vs Atomic.... ? for higain. wich one?
Thank you. Fender frfr all day
So, does the tonemaster fr12 feel more amp/cab like than studio monitors? Really keen on getting one and need that nudge
The feel was really good. when I switched back and forth between the cab and my monitors they sounded slightly different but they both sounded equally good if that makes sense.

the second thing,just wanted to say that me, as a big fan of john petrucci and dream theater, a prog metal player my self, i disagree with what you said about slash.you right as far as his technique and being pretty simple with no particular complex playing. but,and a big but.as a guitar solo composer he is second to none,there are not many guitar players in the world that have so many iconic memorable solos like slash,i mean you can sing each one of his solos as it was a great song for itself+he has a great feel.
@@jimlansa7098 Thanks for commenting. I'm glad you are digging the FR12. it's a great unit.
Regarding the whole Slash vs John Petrucci thing,
We all have different tastes and like different things and that's perfectly fine.
On a technical level, JP is far more superior than Slash.
Honestly, John has also written a lot of memorable and very melodic solos.
The solo for Barstool Warrior is absolutely amazing along with many others such as Lines In The Sand, The Best Of Times, The Spirit Carries Cn etc.. You should watch him play that solo live on the "Score" DVD. it was amazing.
All that said, they both have their place in the industry and I think they both have added things to it but in my humble opinion, JP is the superior guitar player.
Just my opinions. Cheers 😄
I am buying a Magnatone amp and then I am gonna put big tires on it.
2 comments on this one lol the ethics of all this? Your normal 15 yo kid cant afford a Diezel or Mesa, Revv etc. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't get access to great tones. Plus, when they get further along in life what do you thhink they'll be looking at? That same kid will likely buy amp X because of their experience with the capture. Plus like we've said many times i dont want to drag 7k worth of my favorite gear to a shitty bar.
Well said! Thanks for commenting.
I definitely have to disagree with you about Slash. Appetite and Illusions, hands down Slash has written more iconic (better) solos than JP. What about November Rain? ‘Give into me’, the solo he did with Michael Jackson!!! Slash has done more for guitar than JP could imagine and I’m sure JP would actually agree with me. If I created a top 10 list of best solos ever written, Slash would definitely be in there twice. JP wouldn’t even make the list. And I’m positive the majority of experienced players would agree. Choose your words wisely, I’m considering unsubscribing for disrespecting Slash. Go listen to the Illusion solos
Thanks for sharing your opinions here. that's what this channel is all about.
Hopefully you don't unsubscribe over something like this but if you do, all the best to you.
With respect,
John Petrucci has the number one selling signature guitar in the history of signature guitars.
I think that solidifies his position in the guitar community.
Dream Theater is definitely not as popular as Guns & Roses because they're not a mainstream band. there are prog and their songs are 10 to 15 minutes long on average.
That said, on a technical level, JP could easily mop the floor with Slash any day.
I'm not being disrespectful by saying that, is just facts.
Go look at the solo for "under a glass moon"
That will some things up easily.
I kind of feel like we're arguing over Superman VS Shazam LOL. I hope this is all in good fun. have a great night
@@TONEWARSgearshow I retract my comment as you were just being honest and I can’t hold that against you. It’s refreshing actually. Love the channel brother
