Hi. I'm new to this forum, also new to FRFR.
I'm a long time guitarist in a loud rock cover band, and after my fair share of Orange, Marshall, etc valve amps, I now use a Tech21 Fly Rig into the fx return of a Matrix VB800 head (so bypassing the preamp), and into a Matrix NL212 cab. I love the lightweight and size of the NL212 (120W), but I know I'm using it close to its maximum volume at my gigs (I have smelt burning before!), and I know the VB800 poweramp is capable of blowing the cab speakers. I'm looking for a lightweight 2x12 300+W back line speaker cab. I know FRFR isn't usually used as a back line cab, but they seem to have the power and some lighter weight options. I don't know anything about FRFR....I just searched and found potentially higher power lightweight cabs than the more traditional speaker cab I currently struggle with.
Any advice much appreciated!!!
