Head Rush HeadRush FRFR-108 | 2000W Full-Range Flat-Response Powered Guitar Cabinet

I used this with an inexpensive Donner Preamp effect pedal. This amp/monitor reproduces the signal exactly as it comes through the line, without the usual cleaning done by a guitar amp (I wouldn't want to use it without an amp simulator/modeler). It delivers a nice loud, clear tone, with full bass. The sound closely resembles what I can get through my headphone amplifier, or my home stereo system. So why use amp simulation? It's a better way to control sound quality, to be able to patch directly into a PA without having to mic an amp, yet still have an amp such as this for a monitor. The PA sound more closely resembles what the guitarist hears, and the monitor volume can be adjusted independently of the input volume to the PA. It just makes more sense. Want multiple amp sounds? I can switch among an entire battery of amp simulations without needing more than one floor amp. It's a space saver, and it's ultimately less expensive. For my own personal experience, I will say that this sounds much better and louder than the Marshall floor amp I bought it to replace. For playing at a moderate volume at home I used volume setting 1.5, and for live performance I had it set to 4 (out of 11, I think). I have no trouble competing with the rest of the band, now. My ears started to ring a little at volume level 5. Needless to say, this thing can handle louder notes than my ears can. I've heard an amp sound a little strained at half volume, but this one was still going strong and clear. I'm going to have to be careful to check the volume setting every time before use, because it would be too easy to accidentally deafen myself. Actual power draw for this device is 800 watts.

I've had the headrush for a few months now and can happily say its awesome... however, its only as good as the input you have. I started out using a pod hd500x as my amp sim through this unit, it wasn't terrible but it really lacked the feeling of being a real amp... not even close to a tube. Back then I blamed the headrush. Switched to the hotone ampero, sounds are insanely better, turned the headrush from a speaker into a true amp. IR's have a huge impact on how this thing feels, even if you have a crappy amp sim I suggest getting an IR loader (they have some for cheap). Also was able to use this bad boy as a bass amp, and a keyboard amp, it holds up well for both. My only complaints are the plastic its made of is soft, so lots of scratches, however they don't do any real damage to the unit... wish they had a rubber case (like iphone case) for it. As well as the lack of having a preamp in the unit makes it almost useless for DI vocals. This would be the icing on the cake, but you already get an amazing product rest assured.

As a Boss GT1000 owner, I wanted a FRFR that would accurately represent the tones I create. Prior to the Headrush FRFR 108, I was using good studio monitors when building presets. Hooked up the Headrush and I can confidently say that this cab offers a truly flat response. Many of my presets translated perfectly to the HR. I'm a worship leader at a large church in southern NJ and we employ a semi silent stage. Drums behind glass, SWR bass amp for stage fill (while also sending direct to house). I will be using the HR in the same way. Sending my signal to the house and having the HR on stage for fill. A couple of observations on the HR... PROS: - tons of headroom - handles a hot signal very well. - at a mid-volume setting, the HR gives you the tone and feel of an amp in the room. Incredibly fast response and the wonderful experience of feeling the tone in your chest, just like an amp. - feedback happens where you want it. Something that is missing when going direct. - incredibly solid construction - perfect form factor CONS: - I should have purchased two for a stereo setup. :) The Headrush FRFR 108 really does check all the boxes when it comes to amplifying your modeler. And at $199, it's almost silly not to have one if you have the means. Will some folks turn their noses at it? Sure. It's not an $600 K8 (which I've had). However, I feel it delivers just as well as the QSC. If you run a modeler, this is the cab for you.

I purchased the FRFR-108 to use as a monitor in band situations. Overall I am pleased with the quality and the sound. The sound is very accurate, and there is plenty of bottom end coming from the 8" speaker, with no woofiness or farting out. I honestly see no need for the 12" model, and can't imagine they are selling many of them. I am however skeptical of the 2000 watt rating. Don't get me wrong......it's loud. It's just not "2000 watts" loud. Feels more like 500 watts TBH. Still. Plenty. Loud. Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase and would buy one again. Very VERY clear sound, with great bass response in a super light ultra portable package. All for under $200. What's not to like? :-)

Believe what you have read, this little amp has tremendous volume and sounds incredibly "amp like". I originally owned just one and the first time I tried it using an Avid Elevenrack, it pretty much kept up with a very loud 80s metal group (the other guitarist was using a 50 watt Marshall with a 4x12). It didn't quite cut as much as I would have liked, but I also didn't tweak my tone much (in fact, it was a little bit TOO much like the other guitarists tone). I now own two of these which allows me to run in full stereo, sonic bliss. Incredibly tight tone and stays together well at high volume. My only complaint is that it is a bit boomy at lower volumes and you really can't use the same patch at high and low volumes. You pretty much have to tweak each patch at the volume you want to play at. Not terribly unexpected, but does require some time.

Extrement appréciable et fidèle. Reproduit à merveille les son rentrés dans mon Axe FX II. Utilisé avec des guitares Gibson Les Paul (Classic, Standard et Custom Shop). Peut être utilisé sur des petites scènes ou en appartement. Concernant les 2000W ne rêvez. Il est tout simplement absolument impossible qu"un seul HP de 8 ou 12 pouces encaisse une telle puissance. C'est purement marketting mais aussi limite mensonger. Mais cela n'enlève en rien à la qualité et le plaisir de jouer sur cette enceinte.

Ich habe meinen Line6 Helix (Ampmodeler) im Proberaum an einer db Technologies Opera 12 hängen - also einer FRFR-Box mit 12" Speaker. Für zuhause wollte ich auch was, womit ich mal die Kuh richtig fliegen lassen kann - ohne jedesmal die doch recht große Opera aus dem Proberaum mitzuschleppen. "Normal" spiele ich Gitarre ohnehin eher am Rechner über Plugins und Nahfeldmonitore. Die Headrush 108 ist ja im Vergleich geradezu winzig und ich konnte mir echt nicht vorstellen, dass ein 8"er samt 1,04" hochtöner hier viel Wirkung zeigt. Zumal Headrush ja mit den 2.000 Watt (Peakleistung) wirbt, die auch die Headrush 112 FR hat. Hmmm...Reviews waren durch die Bank sehr, sehr positiv. Also komm' Amazon, schick' mal so ein Ding her. Bei den meisten großen Musikeronlineshops ist die Box aktuell ohnehin nur mit laaaaaanger Lieferzeit zu haben. Nach dem Auspacken traue ich meinen Augen nicht. So klein? Dann den Helix angeschlossen und Lautstärke mal vorsichtig auf 1/3 einstellt. Was für ein voller und druckervoller Sound! Unfassbar! Wirklich unfassbar! Das Teil kann richtig, richtig laut, aber klingt auch leise bzw. so ab gehobener Wohnzimmerlautstärke schon sehr cool. Die Opera 12 konnte man leise eigentlich vergessen - zuviel Bässe, keine Transparenz. Die Headrush 108 FR ist ganz anders und klingt wirklich gut. Wer mag, kann per Contourschalter noch eine Bass-/Höhenbetonung dazugeben, die dem Sound mehr Durchsetzungsvermögen gibt bzw geben soll. Ich mag's lieber flat... Ansonsten ist die Verarbeitung wirklich super, fässt sich alles gut an und das gute Stück ist mit gut 9kg wirklich mit einer Hand tragbar. Sie lässt sich vielfach aufstellen (horizontal, angewinkelt oder hochkant), je nach Raum und Soundquelle halt. Ich könnte noch ganz viel schreiben, aber das haben bereits genug andere gemacht. Meine Begeisterung kennt aktuell keine Grenzen! Für Ampmodeller allererste Wahl!

Primeras impresiones: bestialmente potente los 2000 wats están distribuidos de 600+ al woofer y 300 al Twitter aprox dando la suma de 1000 wats , 2000 pico a pico. Los reviews vistos anteriormente me hicieron dudar la compra ya que decían básicamente que en el tamaño de 8” se tenia perdida de frecuencias bajas. Pero la realidad es que conectada a un buen procesador y calibrada el rango es de excelente calidad ( es impresionante el desplazamiento de aire que produce) me compre un par y bueno... descubrí que existen sutiles diferencias de uno a otro en la estética, uno tiene mejor adherencia al piso ... nota importante. Es imprescindible la calibración ya que al ser tan potente es muy fácil reventar los conos o quemar las bobinas... . Cosas a considerar, la garantía específica que solo será válida con el empaque original ( y es un par de cajas considerablemente grandes) . Y por supuesto que quemar las bocinas por no calibrar adecuadamente no está cubierto ya que se considera abuso por parte del usuario. En mi caso trabajo con una boss GT-1000 y guitarras de 6 a 8 cuerdas, y bajo de 5 cuerdas, por lo que tengo que bajar la señal de salida de el procesador a 35/100 si la utilizara en 50 que es el default para las salidas SLR se queman en cuestión de poco tiempo.

Cassa piccola e leggera, volume gestibile, adatto per suonare in casa, sala prove e piccoli palchi con suono neutro. Lo utilizzo nel mio piccolo ambiente domestico dedicato alla musica con Line6 Helix Floor, appoggiato a un supporto per ampli combo, che lo tiene sollevato da terra e inclinato in posizione ottimale per l'ascolto con volume moderato. Ha molta riserva di volume per l'utilizzo in sala prove o piccoli palchi live come spia. Consigliatissimo.

Lätt, smidig och perfekt för såväl akustisk och elektrisk gitarr.
