I called Matrix Amplification customer service today and Andrew Hunt answered the phone. We had a long delightful and frank conversation. A transplanted Englishman stopping in California long enough to understand that ain't home baby! and now in Idaho, the land of the free and brave!
Anyway, I had called him to ask a few questions about the FR-12. In the conversation he actually recommended his amp with a passive cab as the best option. I told him I was in love with the powered cab idea so as to not have one more thing to move around when I have to move stuff around. He understood. He still contended his powered FR10 and FR12 are great items, but did mention a low level "hiss" caused by the DSP in those models.
So, my question to any FR10 or FR12 users, do you notice the hiss playing quietly in your bedroom or studio and is it a problem? 80% or more of my playing will be in my small studio not out live where a little hiss would not matter. Any and all FR10/12 comments welcome.
If you ever get a chance to chat with Andy, he is a hoot, a bit colorful in language, but a very straight shooter who understands free market capitalism without the greed. He spoke very highly of Mick cuz I had asked about why Mick no longer uses Matrix amps in the Xitone products. And he spoke even higher of Cliff who he said was an engineer and designer like himself and not sold out to Guitar Center and money only kind of people. Loved the unexpected opportunity to chat with him when I was just calling customer service to ask a couple questions.
