Fractal Fanatic
Heard these started shipping. Anyone get one yet?
Great username. They were my favorite band growing up.I ordered one yesterday.
Yes. Sounds great with the Ax8!
Initial impressions :
- light!
- loud
- good low end, but then I cut it back out ~85Hz in cab block
- I like the DSP features (flat, "loudness" and 100Hz high pass modes)
- will fit nicely in the Fiat 500e
I'm slammed with projects but I have FR212, NL212 and QSC K12s to compare with when I get a break.

I have one annoyance and it's regarding stereo setups -- I'm not sure there is a good solution for controlling your master volume with a stereo setup. Changing the volume on the speakers from the back is not practical, especially considering the volumes need to be matched (both speakers) with every slight change. I've heard that the Axe-Fx should run at higher output as a rule, so using the Axe-Fx output knob doesn't seem to be a prudent solution to master volume and I'm not sure if there is a way to introduce a master volume control between the Axe-Fx and these powered speakers (anyone have an idea?). If I can't come up with a decent solution for this, I may have to go with the GT1000FX and passive speakers in order to have a meaningful and accessible master volume.
Did you find a solution to this?
Must say I don't quitunderstand the issue. Couldn't you turn up speakers very loud and then adjust on the Axe volume knob?
My plan was to use axe volume 1 to FOH and axe volume 2 for personal frfr. Volume 1 would the same level, but on volume 2 would control my stage volume.
Isn't this a usable solution?
