FM9 Another live clip of the FM9 into the Fender FR-12

[Cainer]

From a gig last night - most of my volume was via the FR-12, a little bit through the mains but not much. This is FW6.

Nice playing - recorded well too considering the camera is just recording a FR device - sounds very much like a real amp.

Nice little bit of Cliffs of Dover snuck in there too.

I love that lick and sneak it in any chance I get lol

Fantastic tone and playing. The band sounds great, too.

Thanks! That's Byron Neathery on bass and Kostamos Yiacoumis on drums - they kick a$$!

how does it sound/feel compared to an actual amp and cabinet?

I'm contemplating a FR12 or EHX 44 magnum with a 2x12

I've only had it out for a handful of gigs, but so far it's probably the best option I've had a chance to use from that perspective.
EDIT to add: I'd say the spot they're lacking is in the very low end, which would be a real concern if you are a low-tuned metal guy for instance.

That sounds stellar

 

[Chewie5150]

Whoa that sounds incredible! Sweet playing and tones

 

[Nimbas]

Imagine how it would sound if you had two...

Curious everyone's take on running 4x12 IR's or even 2x12's through it... I mean, I guess it is not really different than going through a flat wedge? Would it sound good? Is it more realistic to use a 1x12 IR for a 1x12 real life cab?

I was just wondering the same thing. I have tried a YA 4x12 Friedman IR with it and it sounds good, but curious what other people’s experience is for better choices. I’d even be willing to run that second cab block to the separate output going to the fr12 live for a better sound!
