Headrush FRFR-112 Speaker Demonstration

Headrush makes creating great guitar tone easier than ever. With the FRFR 112 you can have a portable powered speaker that cranks out 2000 watts of pure volume no matter if you are playing at home or at your local club. If you are ready to ditch the heavy tube amp and use some more consistent then the FRFR 112 would be an excellent addition to any players arsenal.

It’s important to note that the speaker sounds more like the direct sound when you are listening vs the miced sound. These speakers sound great.

[@264roy]

I’ve been playing a full stack Marshall dsl100 for years and recently switch over to eleven rack. Same company as headrush. No doubt these speakers blow the Marshall outta the water. Much easier to carry around to. I would recommend these to anyone. If you have negative things to say, then you’ve never used them period. 55 year old musician that’s been playing live for centuries

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Can’t go wrong with the volume and portability.

@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios wow, that Frfr stunned me, i just bought my katana, wtf! can you use it as a monitor?

[@Mondayman622]

I just got my frfr 112 yesterday and totally love it.

[@pacokuervo3023]

Yo lo tengo hace 2 años, si lo quieres utilizar como si fuera un amplificador de guitarra lo tendrás que poner en un trípode o soporte en alto y mirando hacia el público. Este monitor cuando está en el suelo mirando hacia ti es para que te pasen la mezcla del grupo y tu guitarra por ahí. En el suelo además coge demasiado boom y suena horrible pero sin embargo cuando lo pones en un stand se oye fuerte claro

[@PeterJohnson76]

I've been slowly transitioning from all analog to digital gears for years. Using a modeler through a traditional cabinet might work, but it's very limiting and mucks up the desired tone. I bought one of these a few years ago and soon plan to buy another for stereo operational.

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

when going through a physical cab its best to turn off the cab sim. This is why an FRFR speaker is better when using cab/IR.

[@warmoth68]

I just ordered one for my Kemper...My buddy had the 8" and it sounded great..lots of headroom..I can only imagine what the 12" sounds like?? Great having 2 inputs,,1 for me and 2 for the band..I'm using an EV now and it's just not cutting it...and for the price you can't go wrong. IMO..

[@che2335]

Theres a setting in the Headrush to cut low and hi frequency output to match a guitar speakers range. I couldnt dial out the boomy low end and ice picky highs from the amp models until i set these. Now it sounds closer to a tube amp.

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Global EQ helps with that or if you are you using an IR using can use the Hi and Low filters as you said.

Do you think the 108 is more boxy small sounding than the 112? I'm trying to get away from my boxy 3inch speakers with this!

[@daverobinson22]

I like the 108 as we mike up everything and it doesn't get in the way of the mix on stage.

[@LioSintra]

It's exactly the same as Alto TS312, the only thing that change is mic input is another line input. They are both made by InMusic group. Usually Alto HF driver gives problems and need to replace, I hope that model don't. Thanks for review

[@Chrisrib]

thats it, thanks for info

[@dukebigguns9618]

Sweetwater, heh! Considering getting either the Headrush speaker or Mackie speaker that's is the same price from them this coming week. Got the Headrush amp-pedal board last week. Tried the Headrush, like the thing, and so now for a speaker to complete my old geezer rig. Thanks for the vid, Doc.

[@KeannuReevezzz03]

Duke Bigguns get the frfr,unless you want to use the mackie's vertically then you should be fine,but when placed horizantally this will narrow the horizontal dispersion and you will hear a drastic change in tone when you move side to side away from the center of the speaker,the frfr doesnt have this problem as it is specifically designed to be used in a horizontal position,other speakers are designed to have a 90 degree horizontal nominal dispersion when used as mains aka used in upright position,and narrows the horizontal dispersion when used as a wedge so it wont bleed too much on other mics on stage

[@dukebigguns9618]

Thanks Chino for the reply/info. Having problems with the Headrush cutting out notes when played. Happens with different guitars and different cables so I believe it is the unit. Thinking of sending the Headrush back at this time, but get what your saying. Even so their setup of the board is fairly amazing to me.

[@AzulOkie]

Try adjusting or removing the Noise Gate from the "IN", I had the same complaint and removing the Noise Gate took care of the problem.

So now that the FRFR 108 is out, wondering if you have had a chance to compare them. And, if so, how do they differ in sound? Can't imagine the 8" speaker having the same quality of the 112, but would love to hear a comparison! Thanks

For bedroom use with a line 6 pod go would you recommend the headrush frfr or studio monitors?

Would I be better off going with a studio speaker of some sort Thanks!

@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios if all works out well getting two end of this month, (worst case scenario one this month the other next month) do all leads come with the speakers or do I need to buy them?

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

David Murray you will need your own cables. Power cable is included.

[@davidmurray9193]

David Murray 1/4 is fine

[@eastmaggie]

love the Extol shirt bro! saw them with Zao, Stretch Arm Strong & AILD once. that was an epic night!

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

pretty sure I saw that tour here in Nashville at Rocket Town.

[@carlosandchrlys7889]

2 for estereo presets👊

[@capsuleboy]

wait a minute, is it mono? I mean it sends everything to 1 signal? I had thought that it had 2 speakers inside and some stereo movement could be achieved.

[@lau8318]

with gt1000 sound great?

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Sure would

[@mikelafontaine2998]

Does it sound similar to the alto

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Never heard the Alto but the HR sounds great.

[@supernova20i23]

Mike Lafontaine it's like Alto you are right

[@wolvesandguitars]

it is the alto I thought

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

wolvesandguitars the outside looks the same but the guts a different.

[@simoncab1362]

Ive got a katana air which i love with its 4 effects sat once able to alter sound chain and cab resonance etc. Looking to use it as a gigging head as it has all the great tones in it will connecting it up to a 112 headrush or even 2 to keep full stereo sound with effects. Will it work using air as a gigging head.i cant see why not but thought would get your thoughts

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

The Line Out of the Katana Air would sound great through the FRFR. I highly suggest getting the FRFR108 speaker. It has the same specs as the 12" but its so much small and lighter.

[@fatherof3kidz]

Hey Doc! Quick question when you have time to respond. If I'm running directly into the FRFR112 only would you recommend the switch on the back of the Headrush be set to line or amp? I'm thinking line. Your thoughts???

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

fatherof3kidz line level is best for FRFR.

[@fatherof3kidz]

@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios thanks Nathan, appreciate it

[@JetVLB]

Love the extol shirt!

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

haha yeah I have been a huge fan of Extol for 15 years. They are flat out amazing. They use Axe Fx for all their guitar tones.

[@JetVLB]

@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios they're hands down my favorite band. And yeah everyone is running axe fx. It's amazing. I'm running the original amplifire. It's not an axefx but I love it and it's pretty. I just need an frfr. I'd love a CLR but don't got that kind of cash. The headrush is good? Have you been able to compare in person with any others?

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

@@JetVLB I haven't compared it with other speakers but it sounds good to my ears.

[@toneranger7813]

Doctor McFarland Studios I talked to Ole Borud about that. Their last album was 5150 3 for rhythms. Axe Fx for cleans and lead.

[@KemperEV]

Does it sound like there's a blanket over the speaker? Cheers.

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Jacob Ke nope. Sounds amazing.

[@enricodedios2561]

Does it sound good without the amp sim and cab simulator?

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Enrico de DIOS it would be great for acoustic guitar. An electric guitar would sound bland with no amp in the chain.

[@beerman7079]

Ya but is it loud can you piss your neighbors off down the street thats what im looking for

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

It will blow someones head off if you want. Hang onto your pants as well.

[@tman6495]

Somewhere I have heard, this setup is for a Git Processor...but not a pedal board to get the full wattage out of it? Has anyone tried this with just a pedal board?

[@robertreynolds9961]

Need ir or speaker sim

[@Leondediosable]

Does the headrush use alnico speakers or ceramic???

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Its an FRFR speaker so its not going to have a tonal character in the same sense that a Vintage 30 or a Greenback is going to have. Its meant to be flat and reproduce the sound of your digital modeler.

[@Leondediosable]

Makes sense! Thanks for the info!

[@joesanders4605]

The best thing when these guys are comparing speakers the best thing they could do is give us their take we speakers louder with speakers cleaner and stop because they're live next to the speaker we're hearing it through the phone we can barely tell any difference

[@justinTime077]

Nice long as fuck sentence. I wouldn’t trust a thought that came out of your noggin if I could even understand you.

[@officialWWM]

Surely any powered foldback monitor would be just as good?

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Correct. I don't think there is anything magical about the speaker but its a good deal if you are looking for something that is light and powerful.

[@officialWWM]

Doctor McFarland Studios I have 2 x 1000watt Turbosound IP2000 column arrays in the corners of my lounge. I sounds awesome through that. Not sure the neighbors agree 😂

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Yep that gives you everything you need.

[@8242anthony]

Don’t if you would have an answer for this but I just got one and Ilove it but the only issue is if u use the mix out the volume level in the back of the headrush effects the volume to the board is their anyway to correct that ??

[@officialWWM]

anthony mucci sorry, I'm not entirely clear about what you're asking :/

[@TonyLaManna]

How does this speaker perform at low volumes, for at-home practice or small venues like coffee houses and open-mics?

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Tony LaManna it sounds great at any volume

[@greatreset3]

I didnt get any candy with mine! WTF? 🎵🎸

[@bobinchainz]

That tone @ 3:18 is pure sex

It's not 2000 watts

It’s rated at peak wattage. This FRFR will fill the room with ease.

This is basically a rebranding of the Alto TS212 with different stickers and a claim of more wattage. Yeah right 2000 watts.
