Sounds like you're in it for the long haul. Good luck keeping her off those feet.8-12 weeks of slow rehab starting with carrying that nearly 100 lb pup around. It's gonna be rough.
She’s a pretty pooch, sending all the good doggy and healing vibes!!View attachment 140430
She's coming home this afternoon with a pink satellite dish of a cone. I'm glad she is happy and hasn't chomped on anyone with those teefers.
gorgeous pup! i have a chocolate lab. my true love!Our Ukrainian head of Security Reese had doggy orthopedic surgery today on both back knees. She tore ACLs and the meniscus on both sides. She got 2 TPLO tibia reshaping procedures done at once. She is doing good and will be home in the next 2 days for a long recovery.
Thoughts, prayers, and good doggy vibes much appreciated.

She's already feeling and walking better than before the surgery.@WKSmith how’s pupper today?
As I continue to collect 412s I will have a 212 not in use. Apparently my local store has a demo FR-10. I dont expect they will give me much for my 212 (but a used 1960A is $1100cad there iirc) so I will likely trade it towards that. Then its a case of where do I put it
So, are you saying that the difference is really small, but the 10 is kinda "flatter" (FRFR-ish) whereas the 12 sounds a tiny bit more like a conventional guitar cab?@davi_ssilva
The difference to me personally has nothing to do with the low end. The bottom sounds almost identical with the V2 pre. They slam. Probably way too much.
The difference I'm getting is a slightly scooped upper mid frequency in the 12 that is nice and silky and very musical. I'm guessing it is from the high end roll off of the 12 vs the 10. I am hoping my used 12 coming in this week is exactly like my first hissy FR.
I want a matched pair of those.
I am certain it was just another mistake in their pre design, unless the TMP is also out of phase. Surely not.refresh my memory if I've missed it in this thread...why did F-Corp make the stock pres 180 degrees out phase to the input? and what audible effect does this have? I was reviewing the V2 manual in preparation for my boards arriving this week! so out of phase vs in phase...I am not versed in electronic circuit design. Is the reason for phase inversion vs not to do with any audible benefit or more an efficiency consideration in the design of the circuit?

Awesome answer from you, as usual! I've tried both at different stores, but both tests were short, done in less than ideal conditions, and weeks apart from each other, so I can't really compare them.I am certain it was just another mistake in their pre design, unless the TMP is also out of phase. Surely not.
It isn't a huge problem until you try to play the stock FR along with a tube amp or another FR with the V2 in it ..then the cancellation and comb filtering of lots of frequencies becomes apparent while it sucks the bass out of the room.
I guess you could call the 10 flatter sounding. The difference is very small, but I think the highs are a little sweeter on my 12... Probably in the 3k range where our ears are really sensitive as it gets close to the resonant freq of our ear canal.
Of the three stock preamps I have here, they all use the same preamp board. The FR10 boards are missing several components that the FR12 has.. but the preamp boards are all the same revision # and date. Even the stealth half fixed ones. They all are out of phase with the input.I wonder if all stock FR's are still out of phase design or is there any inconsistency? reason I wonder that is initially when i went through a few cabs deciding which ones I wanted....I had a pair together that sounded like really bad comb filtering going on...so wonder if its possible one was in and the other was out of phase....i can't verify now as those cabs are gone but had me curious
@WKSmith - just out of interest, what components are missing from the FR10 boards and why would they be different to the FR12 given your V2 is the same for both variants?Of the three stock preamps I have here, they all use the same preamp board.

There may be some other versions out there, but I haven't seen or heard of any other preamp used in the FRs yet.
