Just depends on the stage layout but i prefer it behind me since the purpose is to feel like a guitar amp.Do you have your FRFR in front of you or behind…
I have always had it behind…but have seen a few pictures of people with it in front

But a guitar amp doesn’t have to be behind you either. I often had my amp on the side, or especially on small stages where it has to be quiet, i’ve put my guitar amp (or at least a 1x12” cab) in front of me tilted up like a wedge, so I could hear myself properly at a low volume.Just depends on the stage layout but i prefer it behind me since the purpose is to feel like a guitar amp.
Dispersion of a quality FRFR should be much wider than a typical guitar cabinet.I have tried it both ways. One of the things I really dislike is the uneven coverage as I move around the stage. I have even simultaneously tried both back line and front monitor. Still coverage is spotty…. This caused frustration until a band mate convinced me to try IEMs - game changer. Now I place a live monitor where ever it is convenient - loud enough for feedback when needed, and let the IEM even out coverage for me. I know this won’t replicate the “amp in the room” feel that so many seek… but I never really missed that in transition from analog to digital. I would just encourage experimentation, and abandonment of restrictive thoughts of how “it should be”… in favor of “hey, this rocks”.
THANKS...USING CLR... Sounds great behind and most gigs I get a FOH monitor in front...Some will argue that put behind you with your back to it on stage it the same sound will be less bright to you than if it’s facing you - your ears catch more of the highs. I would put myself in that camp.
